Not yet but I'm thinking of doing so. The whole deleting of posts by Amazon is a terrible thing for them to do. Especially when they're usually cited for having customer service. But this right now isn't a good sign from them at all.

Just got my copy. Can confirm that the only extra features are Deleted Scenes and Bloopers.

Agent Carter is Bloopers.

Cover art is the exact same as the slipcover for both releases.

CaptainWebber · 09-18-2015, 02:51 PM

Overpriced. Amazon treats me terribly. AND barebones.

It's like....they really, REALLY don't want me to buy this. =_=

Had it in my wishlist since it first appeared, checked Amazon just now to see since today is the release date, if perhaps they kindly dropped the price down $20-ish.... nope.

I really wish I had preordered this now when it was $55. Who knows how long I'll have to wait for it to come back down to a reasonable price. Could be tomorrow, could be Black Friday, could be never because Amazon has zero competitors for this release and they can charge whatever they want.

I hope it goes on sale on Black Friday and even more importantly, it will still ship with a slipcover, which is like 90% of the reason I want to own this in my collection to go with Season 1.

Don't get me wrong, I really love this show (and Agent Carter), but not at that asking price.

Edit: Not all is bad news... I see Agent Carter season one dropped a dollar to $35.99 from it's $36.99 preorder price. haha.

That's insane. Probably would be cheaper to buy each episode individually on streaming. I'm really ticked that Amazon is the only place to buy such a highly desired set. I really wanted it to be on Best Buy so I could take advantage of the $25 gift card deal.

Folks, this is why we better hope that stores like Best Buy and Target don't stop selling blu-rays. No competition means Amazon jacks up the prices and hold our wallets hostage.

Still kind of amazed Amazon got exclusivity over this. I'm wonder for how long?

I don't know, Amazon is pretty stingy with their exclusives. They are the only retailer who sells Survivor and Amazing Race dvds and they almost never budge for the $34.99 price.

Wow. I'm surprised they bothered with slipcovers at this point.

Thanks! Can I see the spine of AoS: S2 please?

I'll wait. My copy of 'Agent Carter' should be here today though!

I just sent them an email. Though, nobody hold their breaths. So far, the only shits they've given is me publicly complaining about this. I wouldn't be surprised if they just outright ignore the email.

At least its something. Some tv sets have nothing Like NIKITA's final season and its 3rd had only deleted scenes and bloopers also. I am just glad it has something and the Price will go down to a more reasonable one

There is literally zero guarantee of that happening.

True, and at least it's getting a bluray release at all unlike far too many shows. But it's still disappointing considering season one had commentaries and other substantial features. Now reduced to deleted scenes (still welcome/worthwhile) and bloopers, which are a throwaway to me. and sadly the only thing included on Agent Carter. $72 though

Also thanks for the spine pic, looks nice but I wish they'd featured someone else from the team instead of Coulson again. is his head on both sides?

Also not gonna happen lol. As an Amazon Exclusive, you won't find this at the usual places. And as for used prices, Amazon just recently implemented a new policy that prevents marketplace sellers from listing DVDs and Blu-rays over $25 MSRP unless they are certified retailers. And seeing as Amazon is the only certified retailer certified to sell this....that's simply not happening. Your absolute best bet is eBay. If someone is feeling generous. How likely is that?

Penis? Meet rectum. Because that's precisely what Amazon is expecting you to do with this one. In fact, even as a seller, this whole year has largely revolved around Amazon trying really hard to alienate me.

Amazon and to a certain point Disney, can go F%*K themselves if they think I am paying that much for a season of television.

It is insulting and I hope no one buys them through Amazon and it becomes a big fat failure.

The UK set is much cheaper. Definitely getting that one. Its at £22 with shipment £27 so still much cheaper than 71 freaking dollars

This is exactly what I was afraid of. Everyone hoped for a price drop on release day but with noone else selling it what reason do they have to lower it? Unless some news comes out about other retailers selling it I guess I'll be ordering from the UK.

Did we even get an official announcement for this and Agent Carter? I'm guessing not since we didn't even know what special features to expect. This whole release has been handled very poorly imo.
