Yes I need to check my bank statements and ideally the extra DVD and the lunchbox will arrive.
In the meantime, I'm sharing a picture with everyone of what it all looks like!
WOW

You are unbelievably lucky. How did you get it so quickly?
I haven't even got my tracking number yet. I hope they ship in order of how we ordered because I ordered the first day in Feb. I am so excited!
did you get an email?

Yeah man...did you get a shipping email first or did your set just show up? You did order through AU, right?

bluemmsrule, I *feel* lucky. Who would have imagined, back in the olde days from 94, that this would happen?
Kappster, the last three emails went like this:
10/21 - At Long Last, My So-Called LIfe Will be Shipping
10/28 - They say, "Shipping this week, lunchbox in December"
11/05 - Tracking # email and actual DVDs arrive same day

You live in Cali, right? You may be right around the corner from their delivery site.

how funny is it that I live in NY (the place where ross picked the dvd's up) and now I have to wait a week for those damned things to come BACK across the country to get to me! I think my discs are logging some serious mileage.

Great Alfredini,
I am extremely pleased that you received your set. I am extremely envious of you. Perhaps, this nightmare is slowly coming to end?

um, yeah, so i canceled and i got an email with my tracking number. i really do NOT want to have to deal with trying to send these suckers back. i will just lose the money on shipping i would've saved buying elsewhere... well, not all of it, but i still don't want to have to do this. it better not come. they're acting like i still have an order with them. i do not appreciate this at all. what the hell do i do??

i know this is petty, and i have no room to complain because who really cares - we're getting the show on DVD
but....
does anyone else hate the packaging? i mean..... i wish it would have been in a book-like package, where you just flip it open (aka. Buffy)
ok, i'm done with my idiotic ill-conceived rant

I like the packaging. (Even thought I haven't gotten the shipment yet ). It looks cool to me anyway. But ......to each his own and with respect to your comments I haven't seen the Buffy set. Maybe that would change my mind.

Wow, i thought i was the only one here that didnt like what ive seen so far. Now i do not have the discs yet, but judging by the pics so far of the set i am not that impressed with the overall look and feel of it.
I am a box slore, i love boxsets so i dont care about it being in a box, i like that better than a gatefold just because gatefolds get ruined easier. For instance the 24 set is a gatefold but it is pretty cheaply made. I dont htink it will last long through multiple openings and closings of the set.
What i dont like about the MSCL set is the overall design of the box, it could have been made a lot more interesting than it did (especially for the money being paid for this) And that one pic of the menu (i think in another thread) leaves a lot to be desired. The colors used seem weird and the font usage is bleh.
When it comes down to it though it is all about the content. And believe that is the most important aspect of any DVD, but far too often people forget about packaging when putting together a DVD. And this is a collectible set so this should have had even more care put to it.
Of course that is all IMHO. And maybe after i see the set in my own hands i might flip my stance on this issue.
