Chalk another one up on the disappointed list. I haven't received mine yet, but if that's all it is, what a crock of shit.

That sums it up!

Oh, wonderful. So I still have to use that piece of crap to store my discs. I honestly hope mine doesn't arrive if that's it. This is insulting.

I hope it comes with a slip for a replacement of the replacement box.

...and to think i was looking forward to getting this in the mail. i should have known better. is the replacement at least the same dimensions as the previous sets?

When I created my order form through the website, I encountered the following information:

Requirements: (this was their "requirements" for qualifying)

A dislike for storing your digital media inside a hollowed out human head

Reason for wanting new box:

Anal retentive (box must be identical) <<< (I honestly picked this category)

So, it sounds like I'll STILL be storing my digital media inside a hollowed out head and I WON"T have an "identical" box. :grumble:

Obviously, in the grand scheme of life this is just a passing annoyance. That being said, I for one will be writing numerous emails to these clowns pointing out that they took my money under false pretences. Anyone else?? -poke-

i will be calling

Definitely false advertising. This is complete bullcrap. I love the Simpsons, and I love this season, but i don't think anybody is actually receiving what they were expecting to receive. Idiots!

Could we get a fox number and email for everyone to use?

This might be it, or I'm sure they could direct you to who you should contact.

Maybe I can sell the alternate box cover for a Mary Worth phone. :p

Got mine today in the mail. They ship it flat in a sturdy envelope and you have to fold it. It's really not that bad, except it's not as wide as the others so on a shelf it is pushed in farther. And the top is left open so only the digipak slides down inside, not the entire Homer head. There is a hole in the magnifying glass part of the cover so you can see the larger (magnified) Homer eyeballs on the package inside.

as crappy as this seems i don't understand why they would't at least give it a top and leave one side open...

I agree. It doesn't make any sense that they left the top of this box open..

Well, at least the head doesn't go in there. It's too bad about the open top, though.

HA! Score one for forgetfulness. I realized after I mailed out my form that I forgot to include the $2.95. I've been waiting for it to be returned, but now I think I'll save my money. What a joke.

I want my $3 back.

I firmly believe that the original intent by Fox was to provide us with a proper digipak type case that mirrored Seasons 1 through 5. Somewhere along the way, somebody must have figured out that it was going to cost them $4 instead of $2 to produce this; so some group of suits in a high level meeting probably concluded that "Since most of the public (our customers) are idiots with short memories, we'll just pull the old bait and switch and instead send them crappy boxes that only cost $1 to produce. This doubles the originally projected profits and we'll use the windfall for something more important than customer satisfaction such as a nicer Christmas party or a few more bonuses. Our customers will never see through this....." It was probably about that time that they modified the website to add the part about watching soon for a new link for those who were still not satisfied.

So, the whole head doesn't slip into this thing? Just the 4 disc trays that are taped together? Just want to be clear.

f*in' cheap-ass.

I cannot believe mine shipped on the 15th, and I still have not received it.

The whole inside slides in. Don't forget that the really awesome disc holder is attached to a smaller cardboard head that opens up and also stores the booklet.

I got mine today! It is every bit as craptacular as others have posted.

[Burns]I know what I hate, and I DO hate this.[/Burns]

But seriously, I would rather have a spectacular season in a crappy package than the opposite. Too bad the fine folks at FOX couldn't give us both. Oh well, maybe next year (season).

Still no sign of mine. It'll be 2 weeks tomorrow. :(

Likewise for me :brickwl2:
