Ok, here's a quick shot of both sides of the box....I took more pics of the inside but I'd figure this is the top priority. Hope these work ok...first time trying to use imageshack's thumbnails (and I hope they're clickable)!

And two more....the second image is just an attempt to show the "texture" of the image...it seems to be a faux canvas. You can kind of see it in the reflection of the flash in the dark spot.

My question is: Is it totally different from the 7-disc set...I mean, I compared them in the store and it's a bit thicker, but the general idea of the set could be quite similar in the 7-disc. I'll also assume that the four replica paintings are the same in all...it would be interesting if they put different images in different boxes....
Now I'll do a quick peak and see exactly what's on the 8th disc.

A screencap of the bonus disc's content (unless there's an easter egg I guess):
The first thing on there is a Q&A with cast and writer that runs about 36 minutes. The rest are approximately a minute and a half long...fairly self-explanatory.

So I'll see if I can find my camera and snap shots of the one I bought (appeared to be the last one).

At 4:30 my Target had a ton of both sets. I picked up the deluxe. I'm already finished with the second disc. Its a good show, although where I am at it is slowing getting started.
Hiro is a cool character, and I wish they would just let the cheerleader die.

Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I think the packaging of the regular DVD edition is much sharper than the Target Deluxe, so that's the one I picked up. Also, I find that I don't often make it through all the special features on my TV DVDs, so I'm okay with not having the 8th disc.

I got mine today at Target. They had 4 of the "Collector's Edition" on the shelf (of which I bought 1).
I used the $5 off coupon to buy Heroes and some Liquid Plummer.

If it weren't for the $5 off coupon, I probably would have just picked up the regular version at Best Buy. But for only $3 more, the cards and the Q & A seemed worth it.
Question: Did the Q & A take place before the end of the season or before it started? I haven't seen all of the episodes yet (I had a bunch stored on my DVR which crashed) and although I'm not too concerned about spoilers, I don't want to purposely walk right into them.

Target and $5 coupon as well. I was worried yesterday when people were saying they were getting the last one, or there were only so many. Thankfully my fears were unfounded, as the Target I went to first (there were three along the route I would have been last night) had a whole shelf full of them. Sadly, it'll probably be a little while until we actually get around to watching it.

darthmaher: if I recall correctly, the date of the Q&A was March 10, 2007; that would place it just after episode 18, "Parasite" which aired on March 4. So there were still episodes 19-23 to air for that season. This page of Wikipedia is pretty good, but if you've not seen all the episodes yet, you may want to beware....also there's a few episode summaries for the upcoming season 2.
bookcase3: are you saying that the eight disc packaging is dumber? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?!?!?! LET'S TAKE IT OUTSIDE!!! laff...
SCOTT1598: I had began entering it before I'd taken the photos and at some point it told me that it had already been submitted. I guess the only "flaw" I see in the entry is that it speaks of it being a seven-disc set. But, most important for me, it's got the correct cover art.

scott1598: interesting collection over there....I damn near shat myself though when I came across "August Underground" which the summarized plot showed only these words:
"Imagine walking down the street and finding an unmarked VHS tape. Curiosity peaked you take it home and pop it in. What starts off as two men screwing... "
LAFF!!!
