My copy of the set arrived a couple of days ago, and I've already breezed through the first disc. It's been great fun. Lots of familiar faces popping up, and even if some of the stories are a bit far-fetched, they are entertaining and move like lightning.

The package is appealingly designed, with all the episode info nicely written out. However, there's always a fly in the ointment... on my copy, the plastic hinges on the two disc trays were entirely broken off, leaving them loose. I spent over an hour last night constructing and gluing wooden shards and map-tacks, trying to re-attach the swinging trays. My "Route 66" set was okay, but if this particular dvd-box design is THIS vulnerable, I hope it's ditched in favor of more traditional slimpacks. I've rarely had much trouble with slimpacks, but when I do, they would at least be easy to replace.
