It’s got some neat pics and info. For those who own the 2012 Essentials Collection it’s the same book from that release.

The House films in the Dracula set are higher in quality than the discs in the other sets because they don't share a disc with FMTWM. I believe they're a couple of gigabytes larger than on the other sets.

Noticed the Creature and Invisible Man sets didn't come with the "x films first time together on Blu-ray" sticker. A bit odd.

Is anyone still interested in seeing photos?

Interesting that no one has posted photos yet. Mine is currently on track to be delivered today. I will post photos if no one else does.

I'd like to see photos of this set. I thought my copy would arrive yesterday, since it arrived at my local post office Sunday night, but it looks like it'll be in today.

I want to see!!!!!!!

It'd be nice to see pictures of the set, thank you.

This is why I'm hesitant to order online.

You would think Amazon would learn with so many returns because of bad shipping practices.

Pretty disappointing packaging from Amazon. They shipped my copy in a bubble mailer!! $150 dollar set and it’s not even shipped in a box. Of course some of the corners are now rounded. Also looks like some of the glue from the top is loose and has a bubble point.

Now to check and see if any of the cases are broke.

Good news!!! No broke cases. Overall I think the outer box is just a little flimsy. It seems not as sturdy as box sets I’ve bought before (IE: Halloween) which have almost the same type of box.

CrowKiller · 08-28-2018, 08:50 PM

lol @ these being shipped in a bubble mailer. If I ordered this, I wonder how many times I'd have to send them back before they ship one in a box? Assuming everyone of them is damaged. I remember ordering the Steelbook of Driller Killer and had to do it 4 times. 2 twice the case was smashed, one the disc was loose, and another one was literally already opened, except a tiny little bit of shrink wrap holding on for dear life. Oh well...keep sending them back. Throw it against a wall too before sending it back as well. I'd cancel my prime membership if it wasn't $50 (now 60 ) a year for me.

Are the cases clear/frosted? Are the discs stacked?

The cases are frosted. I don't think they are exactly clear. The discs are not stacked. It is spindle cases with each disc having a hub.

What really stinks with my set is the glue on the top of box is loose on about 1/2 the top. Will probably just put up with it. Also came with some back spine damage. Almost thought it was used already.

Does each set within have its respective slipcover, or are they all slipless? Also, does Phantom have matching art to the collection sets?

Does anyone else think the outer box is a little cheap or did I get a dud? Seems like the artwork is not fully glued in the top of my box and it makes an audible noise when I handle the box.

I hate returning and having to wait for a new box for it to come in just as bad. My thought is that it is 2018 and everything just built more cheap! Please let me know.
