I wondered that at first to...I think it is to keep the dvds in better place. The sets seem to fit almost perfectly with that piece of CB in there so I left it in.
As an aside, if you're in Toronto and need both the box and the contents of it, I picked it up the other day for $279 (Canadian) and have seen 3 other copies of the box in the last week (or so) for sale.
I was seriously getting worried that it wasn't going to get here or something. With everyone getting theirs and not me. But it's finally here and it looks amazing on my shelf. Very pretty. I was happy that there was room in it for the Series Finale DVD also. Did anyone else put it in there?
LindseyS, when did you send out your check? I wouldn't be too worried though because I hadn't heard anything from them either until today when the UPS guy knocked on my door and I received my box. I say give them the week and then maybe contact them...
Unfortunately, I sent it pretty late, like right after Christmas. I know the odds are against me that I'll get one, but hopefully I'll at least get my money order back soon.
Edit: I got the box! I was pretty surpised, considering I sent the money order in early January.
