Perhaps worth mentioning that both PF and ACFW are "add-on items," meaning they can only be ordered if your order total is $25 and up. Sicario is a regular item.

Ah, thanks for that. I went for Sicario since I only have the digital version and at that price, no-brainer. I already had the other two in my collection, so didn't notice the add-on part.

The first two are Target price matches and the last is Best Buy, in case anyone wants to pick up locally.

Isn't $4 the BF price for Pulp Fiction? Sicario is a good deal/

Sicario is now listed as an add-on item too.

I got in on Sicario before it turned into an add -on.

For Star Trek fans Enterprise: The Complete Second Season is at $11.73 (through a third party seller but fulfilled by Amazon). I ordered it and already own season one. Just waiting for the third and fourth to drop.

^Or just get the entire series from Amazon UK for ~$58 US shipped. It's region free.

Yeah, but I already had season one. Plus I'd kind of prefer keeping all my Trek stuff Region A for packaging consistency.

Yeah... I didn't think to go through checkout to remove VAT!

And it was. I purchased it when it was close to that lower price point. Before shipping it was ~$41. I had several items on that order to spread out shipping so it wound up being ~$43 shipped.

I'm not at all bothered by the R2 packaging. IMHO it's actually a bit better than the US packaging. The episodes look identical when played.

You like the "fat" R2 blu-ray cases?

Well, to be fair, the complete collection just has one of those EPIK Paks just like the US Complete Sets did. I like the extra $40 more than I dislike the Epik Pak and it do like the Outer Box. The box is big enough that if I wanted, I could easily swtich to 4 multidisc cases and print some custom art. I actually considered that for TNG except I found the Epic cases perfectly functional.

Or you could get (or could have gotten) the German sets with 4 individual cases is a normal sized Vertical Bluray slipcase.

What hariseldon said exactly.

While I prefer multi-page/disc VIVA cases I actually like the "EPIK Pak" cases far better than "books with slots in the page for discs" or digi-paks. I want simple, protective, convenient packaging that takes up as little shelf space as possible. Those EPIK Paks fit the bill very well. If I could find a source I'd purchase them for quite a few series I own that eat up far too much shelf space due to poor packaging.

Personally I can't stand those Epik Pack bricks and will avoid purchasing another set with them whenever possible. IMO the best Trek full season blu-ray packaging is what they do in Australia:

But those are never the sets that get super cheap. Personally I was just very patient and waited until I found somebody on ebay with all the individual season sets (with slipcovers) that was looking to unload them. I was able to pick up each full series that way for just a little more than these European Epik pak sets.

Just received my copy Enterprise: The Complete Second Season. Unfortunately it doesn’t have a slipcover (all my other Trek seasons have them).

Why are 2 seasons M and the rest PG?

On the front of the box in the picture I saw M for Science Find Violence. Either PG means more stuff or the season were less violent in their rating system.

All that from deduction and speculation. I am now actually wondering why as well.

I'm such a ST nerd for knowing, but probably because Season 1 ends with the violent scene where Picard and Riker phaser the bad guy to a skeleton and you see some pretty gory effects, including the guy's spine.

In Season 6, Picard is captured and tortured by the Cardassians.

For those few who might be interested, Blood Diner (Vestron Video Collector's Series) is currently $12.20. It's through a third-party vendor, but fulfilled by Amazon, which makes it Prime eligible.
