I have a spare season 3 slipcover. I sold all my individual seasons cause I'm a sucker for complete collections, but I held onto my slips for 3 and 5. I'd part with it for a reasonable price/trade. Just pm me if interested.

The complete collection has a slip cover too. A huge one.

My reasons for buying the complete collection were...

1) I didn't already have any of it.

2) It was on sale real cheap for what you get from the set.

Season 3 is the oddball of the slipcovers simply because it was the first season of Lost released on Blu Ray and they went all out with a sturdy hard cardboard with a snap enclosure. I lucked out and bought a copy of season 3 from Amazon Marketplace and it was copy with a slipcover...I'm missing a slipcover for season 4, though...

Season 3 might be a tough one to find. Most retail stores sell Season 3 slipless. Season 4 is a little bit easier to find. Have you checked your local FYE??

You can get the bonus disc that is included in the full set if you can find the Best Buy exclusive Blu Ray set of season six , I think something got messed up and they packaged the wrong disc. Regardless I already had season 1-5 so i didn't need to get the box set and feel i just lucked out getting the extra disc.

Note though that the disc was a DVD not blu ray so if you have to have the bonus in Hi Def then the full set is for you...if not (like me, only watched once) then if you can find the best buy set for a reasonable price may be a better cost alternative, not sure as I really haven't looked at lost pricing since I completed my collection..

anyway just my 2 Cents

Exactly. And as far as availability of the BB exclusive for S6, there's literally TONS. Some stores still have the S5 exclusive! If you're a sucker for being complete though, the true task would be buying the DVD version of the BB exclusive for S6. Then you'd have the proper bonus disc, as well as the "mistake" one. It took me awhile, but I finally got the "right" bonus disc

My "local" FYE isn't close and it's in a not so pleasent area so FYE is out. My Lost blu's are like a sandwich, 1,2,5, & 6 have slipcovers but 3 and 4 are bare

Does anyone know what that extra "insert" is on the left side? I have the case in the middle but I don't have the other two parts.

That's not an insert. It's part of the package.

That's why I quoted insert. I can't tell if it is a dvd case or something else because it is too think to be paper lol. Maybe I'm just stupid

AeroK · 05-29-2011, 04:47 AM

Yep, that's part of the cover. They used thick cardboard for season 3. So even when all 6 seasons have slipcovers, season 3 still looks like an oddball. They look better when none of them have slips.

It's a BD size packaging with thick cardboard.

That's a false statement.

The Complete Collection is the only way to go. I bought it day 1 and have loved owning it everyday.

Completely subjective here, totally your opinion.

Complete collection all the way. Pre-ordered it while watching the finale and loved the unique packaging when it arrived.

Season 3 was the weakest for me and even then it is way better than anything else on TV.

Season 3 finale was intense. One of the best finales LOST had.

Well I just found a complete copy of Season 3 with the cover and insert for $25 shipped on Amazon. The guy said it was mint so hopefully I'll be happy. I'll just probably flip my copy of season 3 on ebay and hopefully get close to $20 to help make up the difference.
