Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Damn. I hate to rebuy the shows...but gees, I want smaller packaging.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

$14.99 each this week at Target.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

$15 x 6 = $90. For slightly smaller cases? Pass. They would have to be like $10 each for me to even consider it (S7 is already 'small' and I have S8 on Blu-ray).

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Lol, I'd love to know where you found Season 8 on Blu-ray a month before the seasons even started on tv :P

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

I've been holding off on picking up 24 on DVD mostly because of the giant cases. Saw these new ones in Target today and they look MUCH nicer. I'm going to have to pick them up at some point.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

I did not realize that S7 was only six-discs, I have not watched my copy yet. I guess if I could find them for $10 I probably would still buy the sets just for the packaging, but otherwise they don't seem all that much thinner then the current release in stores (which was already a re-release to replace the humongous fold-out packaging that I currently own).

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

It came out last month on Blu-ray:

Season 9 has also been airing on TV since December.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Ohhh, totally thought you were talking about 24. Would've been nice if you had said scrubs somewhere in your post :P

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

I've seen Scrubs S1/S2 at Target for $20...anyone find the other seasons anywhere?

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

The Scrubs repacks are showing up everywhere. Check your area Best Buy.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Anyone find the Supernatural repacks yet?

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

I hate to keep bringing this up but anyone know the official name for these? I still want to buy a bunch of blank ones since my packaging is all jacked up.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

In case anyone is on the lookout for some of these slimmed down versions, I saw volumes 1 - 3 of American Dad at my local Wal-Mart last night for $12.00 each (along with other Fox TV DVDs like Reba - which wasn't repackaged). I may go back this weekend and pick it up.

Also at my local Target they had ONE copy of the repackaged version of Family Guy Volume 3, the other countless number of copies they had were pressed with the original packaging.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

I got the first season of Desperate Housewives in the new slim case as a gift, and picked up the other seasons at the Disney Club and they are in the original cases.

Season 2 has a booklet with episode descriptions in it. Does the slim version of it keep this booklet?

Also, since I only have the slim version of Season 1, and there is not booklet or episode descriptions to be found, can anybody tell me if the original packaging of Season 1 had either a booklet or episode descriptions somewhere in the packaging?

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Desperate Housewives is not a Fox DVD, but it was repackaged. Buena Vista is doing this with quite a few of their bulkier TV on DVD sets. To answer your question, yes, the original bulky packaging comes with an episode guide booklet. It's weird that it's not included with the new repackage, since it's not bigger or thicker than the average insert that comes with normal DVDs.

I plan on buying the original packaging to the sets released by BVHE. The packaging on some of them are so unique and some of the artwork is just so great. I own season 2 of DH on DVD, and looking at the artwork printed on the panels (behind the trays), I can't imagine what artwork they left out in the repackage.

I also want the original packaging because I will want to buy the seasons as they come out, and I like all the boxes to match. I'd like to buy season 4 and season 5 on DVD as soon as I finish season 3, and seasons 4 and 5 have not yet been repackaged, and I don't feel like waiting until they eventually are.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Future seasons will likely come in the newer packaging though, so chances are your boxes will not match.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Found Bones Season 1 in new, slimmer packaging. Season 2 and 3 were still 'big'.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Well, season one was always in a very slim package, are they using non double sided discs now though?

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

It was in DVD style case (clear). There are no slim cases or outer box.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Yeah I understand that, did you notice if there were 4 or 6 discs?

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

4. I snapped a picture, I'll post it later.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Some new MGM repacks

Young Riders The Complete First Season
Addams Family Volumes 1-3
Outer Limits Volumes 1-3
Dead Like Me Seasons 1 & 2
Rat Patrol: Seasons 1 & 2

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Bleh, whats the point of them repackaging it if they're not gonna get rid of the double sided discs

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Probably excess discs. I doubt they need to repress any right now.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Same here..with the 1 copy of FG V3. All of the Best Buy, Target, and Wal-Mart stores around here don't have any of the other FG keep case repacks. So I snagged that one. Maybe they'll get the repacks the next time they reorder those sets or get sent those sets.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Yes, if its exactly the same barcode.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

I love the size of the Big Bang Theory S1 & S2 and Chuck S1 cases. Chuck S2 is a thick case.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Hey, have ANY of you had any problems with the new thinpacks (or whatever they're called)??? I have one of those, for my new Angel season 1. I know everyone is using them and Fox's work on the Angel case is very good, but there's just a little problem... Actually is more like a fear, that those holders will eventually fail to keep the discs safe. And then certain damage if they fall whenever someone opens the case.

I never had any accident with them, but the holders are so tiny and flaty and easy to release that I can't help but fear that with TIME and use they won't hold the discs anymore.

What do you think? Are they really safe?

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

I think they should be fine, they are probably no more prone to breaking than the hard plastic ones on older style packaging. If they do end up breaking i'm sure in the future when the company that makes them allows us to buy them separately, we should be able to just buy another spindle for them.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

ooh, those stargate sg-1 repacks do look very nice, maybe we'll be able to get them at a nice price as well so I can avoid getting the complete series set

April 13, 2010 - Magnificent Seven Complete Series

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Good place to get scanned artwork? Bought a bunch of 4 disc DVD cases but most of the fan art sucks. Love to get the Arrested Development ones.

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Has anyone manged to find a site selling these 4-6 disc slimpacks (14mm spine) that have booklet clips? I keep searching and cannot find a good source for the clear cases, with the exception of a webstore based in Australia. Sorry I know the question has been asked a thousand time before, but eventuall someone will find them ..... hopefully!

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

I've been looking consistently, it still looks like they are not on sale to the general public, no idea why

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

If they are going to re-release King Of The Hill in these cases, then there must at least beare going to a steady demand for the DVDs. Release the rest of the series already FOX!

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Wow, thats the 2nd repackage for Roswell. I know the first repackage was to promote Katherine Heigl as a star, will this new one be promoting Shiri Appleby as the star of "Life Unexpected"?

Re: Fox TV gets smaller
 

Glad to see Mary Tyler Moore will have consist packaging for the all of the seasons now. If I can find a decent sale price I might pick 'em up individually instead of waiting for the oft-delayed complete series set.
