Buffy & Angel & Smallville fan with questions!
 
Hi people!

I'm a huge fan of the mentioned series and I was wondering how the Buffy complete boxset looks!? Anyone got pics of their set?? I've looked around but I cant find one here in the UK, no where in the shops!

Also does anyone know if Angel will get the same 'complete boxset' treatment?

Finally, is it me or is the Smallville season 1 boxset both bigger than the following two and uses a 'book type' storage rather than the later ones two in one folding open type ones?! (or is it just region 2 that are like that???)

Thanks!!!!

My Smallville S1 and S2 boxset are both the same size, and both have the pull-out book type storage.

As far as I can tell, the Region 1 Smallville sets seem identical from season to season in their look and desing.

thanks for the pic, bring on more!

ok, just to check the smallville situation... tell me... are the WB signs on both season 1 and 2's boxes the same size?? also, where season 1's pull out is literally like a book with pages, season 2 is more of a folded design right? where you unfold it a few times and the disks are layed in two's????

thanks again!

Dammit, I really would love to have this set, but I'm not getting rid of all the ones I have already. It's a shame when you buy something as it comes out then something even better comes out like this later...

LB: I'll take a shot...

WB signs/logos, lettering etc are the same size on each season of Smallville.

Season #2 and Season #3 is the same book type layout that Season #1 is.

(at least in Region 1...)

Damm that Buffy set looks awesome. (Although why is Ana pictured? Shouldn't Giles or Angel or both be included instead?)

I agree about Giles, but Anya was on the show longer than Angel was. She deserves a spot on the box IMO.

DAMN! that means my season 1 boxset is different to the rest, they must've changed the box since release cause i got it as soon as it came out. my season 1's WB logo is bigger and in general the boxset looks SLIGHTLY bigger and above the WB logo on my season 1 boxset it says DVD but above the smaller WB logo on the season 2 boxset it doesnt say anything. Anyone else have this??? they're both region 2 by the way.

Thanks!

My region 2 Smallville box sets don't match. Season 1 has book-type packaging, with 6 plastic "pages" stuck together at one side. Season 2 is thinner, and inside the box is a 3-page digipak where each plastic thing has two DVDs overlapping.

Judging from this thread, it seems the sets are consistent in the US, but inconsistent in the UK because they used different packaging for season 2. Personally I'm not too concerned about this.

Your Question about an Angel Box Set like the Buffy one. Nothing has been announced but if you look at fox's past (with Futurama, roswell, and Buffy to name a few), Fox will probably release an Angel: The Complete Series set after the fifth season comes out in Febuary. But weither its but the five available sets shrinkwraped together, or put into a different both is up in the air.

Thanks Philip! I'm not too bothered about it either I just wanted to find out if thats the case with more people you see. But it is a bit stupid of the region 2 people to change the packaging in comparison to region 1. Anyway I think I'll stick to what I got cause as far as I know everywhere I go the box is the same, any store, anywhere in the uk, so I guess there's no way round it anyway.

Cheers!

The Buffy Box was a Limited Edition release. They're currently going for $700-1000 on Ebay. Glad I got mine for $250 :)
