Well I received my copy from amazon uk today and it looks like an incredibly nice set; with just one small problem. WTF is wrong with distributers in the UK using such shoddy packaging. It came wrapped in a piece of cardboard with an extremely flimsy thin sub layer of cardboard that provides no structural support for the packaging of the disc. I have creases top and bottom on the slipcover and a crease down the side of the main digipack disc holder. Any weight that is put on this type of packaging goes directly to damaging the bluray boxset.
I recently had a similar situation with my Persuaders set from Network complete with entire rips through the top and bottom of the slipcase and creases galore throughout the set.
In the US nothing is packaged this cheaply and everything is sent in a box typically with padding of some kind to protect the contents. Sending something from overseas, this type of packaging is nothing short of ridiculous! I figured amazon UK would box it as they do in the U.S.
OK my fellow UK residents, how many items do you have to purchase to make sure the contents are shipped in a box? I keep thinking if I would have ordered a few more items at the same time it wouldn't have been shipped so shoddily.
