I must say, they're really nailing us for wanting a better box. The choices are actually pretty funny though. I said I'm just anal.

I just called the number and the guy said to go to simpsonsfox.com, but it didn't work. Anybody know the correct website?

Well that's damn annoying. I don't have the head yet, and already I want this, but the least they could is show us a picture of the box. The Homer head just seems like cheap sh!t.

It is. It's cheap plastic and really can't believe they actually thought that this was a good idea. Maybe if it was metal or something, that would be cool.

Is there any word on how long this offer will last? I can't afford to buy the set just yet, but I'm worried that, if I wait too long, I'll have to live with that bizarre Homer head for the rest of my life.

while i thought the new packaging idea was interesting and looked pretty cool, in practice it is teh suck. the package is flimsy and not well constructed. when ordering the replacement, i am going for anal -- wait that did not come out right. i will take the first choice.

I'm glad they're offering this. I would've thought twice about buying the set otherwise. I'd have still bought it anyway, I just would've thought twice.. But I'm still glad they offered it, and at a reasonable price.

Did anybody send in a rear molar? Cuz I did. I hope it expedites the shipping.

Do you think they'd still send it if I said "I like free stuff"?

Because that's the only reason I'd get this.
