Amazon's pricing is highly variable & prone to big swings. So please enlighten us... What separates a sale from a "mistake"?

I am looking forward to receiving this set as well. Amazon is usually very good at honoring price mistakes. They shipped my defiance and hollow crown sets and also have sent some sets of walking dead S1-7 despite it dropping to GBP 5 for a small period of time (the rest were given GBP 10 credits which are fairly useful as well).

This is back down to the 22.93 GBP, making it around $30 shipped to the US!

Look for the £6 for buying £30 GC offer and possibly make make it a bit better net price.

Would you have a link for that GC deal?

Thanks. Unfortunately it says I am not eligible. Must be a targeted offer.

Around 3 GBP cheaper than the pre-order drop but that's the way things are. If I didn't end up purchasing it, it probably would have jumped up to GBP 60.

If you had used a similar promotional offer within the space of the last two years, it will say that you are not eligible. I used one around Nov 2015, so after that time I should be eligible (not at the moment).

Received an e-mail re: the preorder price guarantee refund for £1.82.

I will look for mine today too. Here's hoping.

Same here, i thought at first they was canceling it but it was a refund for the preorder dropping in price.

[TheLaughingMann]

Yup, got mine. With the conversion, that's an extra $2.40 off.

[knight17]

I got a refund of the price difference as well. Nice to see such messages.

I dragged my feet on the original deal. I was surprised to see it come back at an even lower price.

My goodness that price is amazing! I already own Seasons 1-4, so it's tough to justify buying this... but I guess I can re-sell my other seasons or trade them? Season 5 alone costs more than that in the US, and only a few pounds less from Amazon UK. I can't believe it! I might have to order this...

Edit: But why doesn't it come with digital codes? Is that accurate? I bought the seasons 1-3 box set from Amazon UK and it came with codes for all 3 seasons. I bought season 4 individually in the US (and it had a code as well). So it's kind of a bummer to wind up not having all 5 seasons in my UV account if this doesn't come with a code for season 5.

Ultraviolet is not as widespread in the UK as it is in the States. I've scored many a great deal on some Blu's overseas cause of the Region Free benefits. But also because the Digital copies offer extra value that keep the product priced so high.

Maybe I'll just buy season 5 then, since it's a few bucks cheaper (not much, but every little bit helps) and does come with a UV code. But I dunno... That price for all 5 seasons just seems so incredible it's hard not to buy it even if it a duplicate of the first 4 seasons for me.

Okay, guys. Somehow, my copy was waiting at the house.

Basically, slipbox. Inside is a single, large style Blu-ray case. The whole series' worth of Blu's are on a single, page-style holder insert that is removable from the case.

Season 1, Disc 1 and Season 5's last disc were tested on Region A. Both loaded with Universal's logo and worked without issue, so I can say without any doubt the series will work in Region A Blu-Ray players.

NO DIGITAL COPIES WITH THIS SET.

P.S. A couple of tiny pieces of plastic broke from the package during transit, but nothing catastrophic. All the disks are secured on their tabs.

So like the Tales from the Darkside DVD series or Friday the 13th DVD Series Box sets? That's a little disappointing, but you get what you pay for, I suppose.

The lowered price point makes a little more sense now

EDIT: Found an unboxing video:

That's it, alright. But one thing I do have to warn about is that the tabs are a bit stiff. Not terribly, but don't try to wrench your discs out with force.

You're basically getting economy grade packaging for the series.
