I was gonna get the complete series set, but that packaging looks like a goldmine for disc scratching.

/\ I don't know... The discs looks like they'll tuck away in those cases.

I'll go with the Complete Series on the cheap down the line, but I don't like the extra packaging. I have no need for the game, nor the shelfspace for such a massive set.

I'll probably just go with the Season Six since my space is running low

I will be going with the season 6 set. The special features on the complete series set don't sound that interesting to me. I just want this season so I can start rewatching the series from episode 1.

Since I have the 1st 4 seasons, I'll just wait on sales to eventually pick up the final 2 seasons.

I've already pre-ordered the CS set since I never bought any of the individual seasons-

Re: Lost: Season Six Set or Complete Series?

Seeing as I own all of the previous season sets this is a no-brainer for me! Should I spend $148.99 of very tight money or should I spend $38.99 of very tight money? I believe you can figure it out!

So you are buying them both?

I thought season 6 was going to include bonus features that address unanswered Lost questions. Looks like more LOST BS.

Actually I think I'll buy the COMPLETE SERIES SET plus I'll RE-BUY ALL OF THE SEASON SETS! Oh - guess I'd better buy 2 of Season 6 so that I have the same number of each season set.

I only own 2 of the previous seasons, plan to sell those and then wait for a sale on the Complete Series set.

Re: Lost: Season Six Set or Complete Series?

Nowadays I pretty much only watch deleted scenes and bloopers on these sets. I loved the show, but just don't care to watch people sitting around on Hawaiian beaches and talking about how they applied bruise make-up or fake blood. *yawn*

Plus those other non-disc extras look targeted right at the "Losties" and not normal people who just liked the show. I'll just be getting Season 6. If I was looking to upgrade to Blu-Ray, then maybe I'd consider the Complete Series set. But even then that's a hell of a clunker of a design.

They should have saved the special edition packaging from Season 5 for the complete series set. That I might have considered.

Re: Lost: Season Six Set or Complete Series?

I'll just get the season set since I have all of the other sets already. But I'll likely wait a few weeks after release when BB or Target sells it for $20-25 (not a commentary on the show, I just hate paying much more than that when they can be had from time to time for well under $30).

After being dicked over by companies like ADV I learned to wait for the complete sets at the end.
