October 7th.

Finally. Its been long overdue. I've been waiting for some new Simpsons sets for a long time now.

I hate this mentality here at DVDTalk. That's a thread started in January, ASKING when the release date is. Is this forum so overloaded with threads that we can't handle having two separate threads on a single dvd/movie, when one is random speculation and one is actual release news? I don't want to discuss The Dark Knight in a thread from 2005 titled "hay guys when dos Batman Begins 2 come out??!!"

Usually I'm like that too, but the thread was on the front page and I had already posted the news in it.

No big deal. Whatever.

Sorry to single you out. It's an issue I've had with this forum as long as I've been a member (8+ years).

Yeah, personally, I think it would be nice if old threads were just deleted altogether. A few admins should look over some threads and just delete the fuckers. Search doesn't help much.

I checked on ezy dvd.com, a site in Australia, and there will be a collectors (box) and limited (head) set of season 11 coming out on November 5th and the limited set is the Krusty head.. Thought you'd all like to know as the tvshowsondvd article doesnt say anything about that, so FOX are still going with the head sets..

Good news everyone!
..oops wrong show

I do not like the head packages but a Krusty head would be worth buying.
Still have my Krusty o's cereal from last summer.

Weird they're still sticking with the heads. I figured they would have changed it up again, like this time using buildings laid out vertically (Moe's Tavern, Simpsons house, elementary school, etc.) or a giant map of Springfield that will be complete after collecting all 5 seasons.

I stopped after S9, but I'm always interested in what the packaging will look like.

Good to finally have a date. That was a wait!

You know what would be even better? If we had a better system of merging threads and changing the title to reflect the current state of certain projects.

Still, glad to know this is coming.

Well, it's about bloody time.

Can't wait! :banana:

The search function sucks donkey balls.

I was under the assumtion the the box would change every 5 seasons. 1-5 Couch gags 6-10 Heads, 11-15 ???

They have already said that the "head" packaging has finished with the 10th Season set. They haven't said what the new one would be like.

Australia are quicker than the US in some things, the Jbhifi website have got the season 11 boxart.. One word, eww.

i personally don't like it, maybe they would have gone more creative like the head concept, but i think too many people bitched about it and they said, we'll just give them some plain shitty boxart to keep them happy. i mean, people bitched enough for them to mail out replacement packages for season 6 and had 2 different options for 7-10. probably figured, keep it simple and people won't complain. if they had drastically changed the boxsets for seasons 11-15 people would have probably complained that they weren't uniform with their 1-10 boxes. just my .02

That is a terrible cover. Then again, that is a terrible season. The death of Maude Flanders was a pretty ridiculous moment - this was the shark-jumping point where Homer started being portrayed as a total jerk.

Not that i can read the side panel but on the front it only says The Complete Season, i hope it says 11th season on the side panel as i really dont want to buy a few seasons after season 10 and have to read episode descriptions to actually find the season i want to watch.. Terrible cover..

EDIT: Oh i'am way too stupid. I just took a proper look of the cover and it has a huge patern in the shape of an 11.

Another jump-the-shark moment was when every other episode they seem to be traveling. Or also when all the minor characters, who were much better being kept to a quick quip or a short scene, started having whole episodes based on them (like Comic Book Store Guy dating Principal Skinner's mother).

Season 10 was it for me. Even though, VERY hit or miss. That marked its downward spiral.

I'm still buying this since I'm a completist, but eh. I'm not as excited for the releases like I was for the earlier seasons.

I think for me this is the point where I'll probably start picking them up when they go below $20, but certainly not on release day.

FINALLY ITS ABOUT DAM TIME! Can't wait to see the cover art for the US! :)

I'm a completist too, but I draw the line when it means owning 19 seasons of a show that only has 8 good ones. Season 10 was it for me. Nice round number at least.

Just looked through the episode guide for season 11....yikes. I think I'll stop with 10 (which I have yet to purchase). I tend to be a completist, but its hard to do with the Simpsons. It could be on for another 10 years, who knows.

I give you your Krusty head set...

Wow, so they're putting the head in a box shape. That seems like a much better idea. I wasn't sure if I was going to get that, but boy that looks cool.

That's pretty cool, though it's a little odd that Sideshow Bob appears on the spine, yet he doesn't feature in any of the episodes that season.

Another observation, they're refraining from calling it "The Complete ______th Season", I wonder if this had anything to do with it, heh.

Wow I really like that box, though it won't fit into the last 5 seasons, just like those seasons didn't fit in with the previous 5 seasons. I guess every 5 seasons we'll get a new box design.

By the way, is this the season with Behind the Laughter?

or Krusty's head was too small for the word "complete"?

Yep, it was the season finale.

tvshowsondvd.com has the breakdown of the content for this set.

I love that they decided to start putting the heads on boxes as it makes it so much easier to set on the DVD shelves. I love the Krusy package..can't wait to get it!

How would it make it easier to fit on shelves? The protruding facial expressions would be the similar to previous head cases. Unless you place the cases facing outward.

It'll probably have another clear slipcover so they're not fully bumping like the head sets..
