My local Wal-Mart started selling this set this past Tuesday for $28. I want it, but I also want the Marge head which they don't have (yet). I wonder if they'll put it out later seeing as the release date isn't until 13th.
I am really, really, conflicted on which box to buy... Should I get the tin to match the last one, or get the box to match the previous seasons? I wish I could just send in for the box like I did for the last one.
- I heard it was limited and they are only making them for a while. Then months from now the regular box style is the only one you'll see on shelves.
- I would hate to just have homers head all by itself! That would just suck, especially since I thought I'd be getting all 5 when they were first announced.
That kind of stinks. I didn't know about the digipack mailer from the last one. I got Homer's head, and bought Marge's head this time. Sure would be cool to be able to put the disks in a box, and display all of the heads somehow.
Any Canadian who have bought this set, can you provide any info on the bilingual packaging? Is is the same as Season 5 in that it is just a wrap-around piece of paper but is the same English packaging underneath?
Correct. It is just the outer slipcase, exactly like Season Five, that is bilingual. I congratulate Fox for not resorting to defacing these sets with actual bilingual packaging. I cannot speak for the "Head" sets, since I bought the boxed version, but I'd assume those have something similar.
I actually kinda like this version of the digipak case better than the original version used in Seasons One through Five. No longer do I have to fold out this super-long thing to get to the disc I want. Now I just flip the 'page'. It is a true shame that Season Six only got a half-assed attempt at a proper box. Perhaps I will look to other regions for a box that is more suitable than what we were offered.
