Every time I see this title, I get mad that it's not about the Albert Barille cartoons.

TheLaughingMann · 11-24-2018, 02:36 PM

So, most unexpectedly, my set arrived this morning.

Season 7 IS All Regions!!! Therefore, the whole set is region free!

Get the word out, guys

.

Only one drawback to this set: It's cardboard holders with partial "lips" for holding disks in, so quite a few disks came in loose.

Price dropped a little, making it less than $51 right now.

Got mine this morning and yes, quality control was out of control. Disc 2 and Disc 4 were loose IN EVERY SEASON. Sometimes Disc 4 was in the same slot as Disc 5. Definitely a manufacturing issue on these...I had the 1-6 Box Set before this (which I sold) and those sets came in perfect shape with no loose discs so I don't know what happened here. I didn't see any significant scratching as a result, but now I'll have to test all of them ASAP to make sure they are good.

Zavvi charges me sales tax now so Amazon would be cheaper...

I didn't buy yet because I think the price will drop more in the future.

updated (i just ordered)

$60.20 (UK to US)

if this works out well; it's a fantastic purchase

thank you (great information)

Mine was $56 or so shipped from Amazon.co.uk.

All I can say is, you'll want to go through every season's package and ensure disks are snugly slid back into their holders. It's great for space and a lovely little box, but the inner holders are just cardboard pages with partial disk holders (like "lips").

I've just received the boxset today.
I am amazed at how small the set is, the pictures certainly give the impression of it being larger!

Did you have some runners in your Season cases? While I love the compact size and having the series, I had expected something bigger with full sized cases. Least the cases are glossy so they are less abrasive.

Unfortunately there were at least 10 discs rolling about the box.
Very nice looking (albeit small) set but they really haven't thought about the fact it will be posted out to people.

You should be okay. You have more to worry about a disk having failed to be printed properly than of it being scratched in the box.

vivafriend5 · 12-23-2018, 03:57 AM

Got my set and every disc two and four was loose, along with a disc five. 15/35 discs loose in total. Hurray, I matched an old record of mine for discs loose in a single set.

creekdipper · 12-27-2018, 02:15 PM

Same exact experience, but no scratches (whew).

TheLaughingMann · 12-27-2018, 03:31 PM

Yeah, while this is an amazing deal for a show like this, the cheap packaging renders it balanced out. They should have designed the holders a little better to perhaps hold more of the disk in place. Or they should have pursued actual cases and a nice box for the price.
