Yep, this is the same email response I got.

I think my replacement discs might be on their way. I got a UPS notice something is shipping to me from TCF - DHE in California. The acronym seems cryptic but seems like it could be Fox.

Not so cryptic since it all it means is Twentieth Century Fox.

Looking forward to getting the replacements discs since I'm about to start season 6. Been plowing through the seasons at a good pace.

Me too. Looks like delivery on the 18th. Almost two weeks earlier than they originally estimated. Anyone get their replacements yet? Do they just send the loose discs? I ask because my season 8 case has a big crack where the front meets the spine.

The shipping weight says 1 lb. so it's hard to tell but I'm guessing not the whole case. I'd like a case too since one of my others was cracked when I got the box set from FoxConnect.

Mine came with just the discs with each one in a separate paper sleeve. However, it arrived in a giant box the size of old desktop PCs. I have no idea why.

Got mine today. They were in a UPS Express Envelope, which had then been folded and put into an Express Pad Pack (an oversized bubble mailer), which had then been folded to compact everything as much as possiible. It was still ridiculously large.

My replacement discs also came in paper sleeves.

Comes out to $141.69 with tax and in-store pick-up for me. That averages out to $15.74 for each season.

No deal.

Here's hoping Amazon lowers the prices on the individual sets.

My replacement discs are scheduled to come in today. I assume they will be packed the same as others have reported.

So, despite getting a notification that the replacement discs were supposed to be delivered yesterday, they weren't. Looks like they are coming today instead. No big deal.

Got my discs yesterday...just discs - no new box. I guess I'll use the old ones as coasters or something.

The old ones are too dark to see right? Season 8 right? I'd keep the old discs.

$29.99? Not for the quality of the 6 episodes. This is the season that needs to be priced at $9.99.

The Event pre-order price will probably drop by the time it comes out.

That's a stupid name. Just call it Season 10.

And most places will sell it for far less than the price after that drop.

The key is just how low will it go. If some of the previous seasons, with far more episodes in each season, go for between $9.99 and $14.99, this one could (should?) get even lower.

I think that's just a temp Amazon name for it.

I'm guessing we'll be able to find this for under $20 for release day - that sounds about right, unless it's totally bare bones, in which case I'll hold off until it hits the bargain bin.
