Best show on TV (possibly ever) but the digipacks are done so well that I've got zero interest in these

 

[RickB84]

The digipacks for me are too big and inconsistent, they're nice but not if you have my ocd lol, matching, slimmer steelbooks are much more for me

Okay then , first impressions , nice package , discs are stacked, slightly debossed steelbook , it's Matt finish.
The magnet is too weak to stay on the steelbook when it's vertical , just slides off . Bit of a showstopper for some and crap quality control , nice idea but oh so poorly executed.
It's just a tiny magnet on the back, presumably so they could have room for "home box office and Made in China "
I may send them back

Considering how large the sigils are I'm not really surprised they don't stay attached to the Steelbook by themselves - I expected as much when I saw how there was plastic was moulded around the sigils.

Yeah they're poorly made , look much better in the boxes, could look upon them as alternative full slips .if only they didn't stamp a blu banner and age certificates on them

My order shipped. Don't have the money really to afford them right now. Thought I had cancelled the UK order and placed an order on the US Amazon. I'm kinda glad I got the UK version because they came to under $70 shipped and the US order is showing a little over $100 for the pair. How the bloody hell does that work Amazon? Oh well cancelling my US order now.

I have seasons 1-5 on bluray and i think they look great together.

 

[Flloydo]

Well the tiny magnet on the back is silly, I was expecting it to have a lenticular sheet style magnet.
And they should of been gloss too but they look great in the full packets with the sigil magnets

Here are some pictures of Season 1. Personally me and my girlfriend are very impressed with this set, it's even better in hand. Click thumbnails for larger pictures. Enjoy.

absolutely, they're much better left in the boxes ,I just wonder how many times they can be removed before the plastic starts to rip.I'm undecided,not overly impressed but then I love the series and I don't have it in any format yet

They're growing on me now,disregard the magnet issue( and yes it's not big enough to do the job properly ) and it's a nice enough package, they do look good in and out of the boxes and it's a great series on blu ray for just over £20.Sometimes in all the steelbook hullabaloo it's easy to overlook the contents !!

 

[MrBMT]

Thanks for the pics @.Lethal, I think they look really nice. Looking forward to getting these tomorrow!

 

[Flash]

Nice pictures but nope still not convinced, the magnet seems random and pretty pointless. Some of the amaray sets have looked much nicer, shame could have been awesome

 

[MikeWalsh]

Mine were delivered today. I think they look fantastic.

 

[stevethos]

All you UK guys who got these today; who delivered them? I ordered mine months ago with the £10 off and free delivery, but haven't even had a shipping notice yet (card charged, though).

 

[T800kaz]

These look really nice but not sure I want to double dip, even if it is my favourite show. It's nice to see quality steelbooks for tv shows being made.

Can someone who has received their copy, please advise as to whether those ugly UK/Irish ratings symbols are printed on the sleeve or are removable stickers?
