Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Whew. 62 disc. Cant wait to see how much this will cost...

And no Blu-Ray set. Early seasons would require the FX redone like TNG:

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

^Which is BS, considering HD masters already exist.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

The 90-minute retrospective and Superboy pilot are selling me, but I'm kind of anxious to see what the price may be.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

I'll pick it up for the right price.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Wow, surprised Warner isn't waiting a year for this. Maybe they figure there will be no interest by then.

I'd be interested in finding out the price, but I have some seasons on DVD, one on HD DVD, and the rest on Blu so I probably won't downgrade. Plus I'm not a fan of awkward packaging.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

That is what I thought as well....

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

I bet the discs come scratched like every other huge multi-disc collection.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Sorry but thats not always true!

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Ehhh. There would have to be a lot more on that set than what I have seen listed to get me to double dip on these seasons.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Why couldn't they do a set with some of the seasons on BD and some on DVD? I would be more interested in that.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

I would love to have this. Wonder when the bootleggers will start selling these on ebay.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Yesterday.


My question on the pricing is, are they going to set it out for what you can get the individual sets for OR what Best Buy charges for them.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

$339.88 SRP according to TVShowsOnDVD.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

"Amazon customers also bought this with the complete 10th season" rotfl

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

$224.99 on Amazon for pre-order. I gave my seasons 1-8 to my oldest daughter and will wait for the inevitable price drop and buy the boxed set-

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

If there was a Complete Blu-ray Set coming I'd gladly double dip! As it is though, I'll just buy the 10th season when it is on sale below 20 bucks and be done with it. Love the show, but not willing to re-buy 9 seasons that I already own on dvd just for the few extras.
When I saw the UK blu-ray set of Supernatural Seasons 1-5 I gladly upgraded and will do the same for Smallville IF it ever gets the upgrade.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

It looks like the discs are going to sit inside cardboard sleeves - like the awful Simpsons sets or, even worse, like the big Wild, WIld West one. The box design for Smallville looks awfuly like the one we're getting here in the UK for the Complete Avengers.

All very well but these card sleeves make it a pain to access the disc you want and have a tendancy to scuff 'em up as well.

Why can't we have more like the UNCLE one - great outer case, with standard sets inside on trays that are easy to use and don't wreck the discs?

$300+ is a bit steep if they're going to go cheap on the packaging.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

My biggest complaint about full series sets is the packaging. I don't know why studios can't release stuff like UNCLE or Miami Vice. If you are going to charge $300 for something, at least put them in slimcases.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

I have seasons 1-9 already and will pick up season 10 when it's under $20 and call it a day. No need for an overpriced complete series set.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

All episodes, besides S10, are all available ($2.99 per episode) on iTunes in HD.

Also, right now iTunes is giving away the premiere episode of S1-S9 for free... and get this.. in HD.. if they can be provided to iTunes.... WB should be able to provide them in Blu.. you'd think...

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

I was mistaken.. even S10 is available at $2.99 per episode.. and the premiere episode is free...

btw.. when I clicked on more info about the HD versions on iTunes.. it states their HD is 720p.. and with the specs... what your computer must have to view in HD.. and only via AppleTV on your TV can you view it there..

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Looks like Aquaman/Mercy Reef pilot will be included as a bonus feature with this set.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

I figured Warner would put out a complete set so got rid of my seasons 1-5 that I had brought several years ago. The real shame is not getting a blu-ray release. That is where my dissappoint lies espiecially since Warner seems to be good at promoting Blu tv releases and with their dvd/HD to blu sites. I will get it but would have preferred a Blu release.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

This.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

My theory for crappy package complete series is that the new release price is just to fleece the obsessed fans and then a year or so later they'll fill the Costco's of the world with them for $100 for Joe Public - which is actually the market the packaging is for.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

This. I'll wait...

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

My only concern is the UK version does not have the same packaging/ extras as the US/Region 1 release. Living in Denmark, Europe, I am going to go with the UK, unless I turn rich before release, and I would hate it if I missed this packaging and including the DC Daily Planet release as well as the two bonus discs.

Edit: E.g. the UK Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition is missing the 14th disc, as well as the cool lenticular packaging and the comic book thay comes with the US set.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

tvshowsondvd.com had an article explaining why there is no BD release. Apparently it involves the special effects for the 1st couple of seasons since they were all produced in SD. They would have to go through some costly re-mastering for BD.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Djariya... please read my posts 21 & 22 of this thread.. It could be 720p..... still HD... just not 1080p..... and is available in HD from iTunes...

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

So did anybody buy this or will you wait for the eventual price decrease?

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

I already have seasons 1-9, just going to pick up 10 eventually and that will be it.

Considering the spending habits of the people in this forum, I would say it's extremely doubtful anyone will pay the $200 sale price for it at Amazon and some B&M's. The lowest price I've seen so far is at WBShop.com for $181.99 and that expires Monday.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Waiting for a $100 DOTD somewhere

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Sounds good to me as well-

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

I'll pull the trigger at $80-$100, max.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Being that I own seasons 1-9 I'll Purchase the final season when it goes below $20.00.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

same here - no hurry in picking season 10 up - will pickup it under $20.00.

In fact - season 10 starts on TNT this Tuesday - Dec 6 - daily - 12:00 pm ET-1:00 pm ET-
so I'll watch the episodes over again that way.

Wish we could have got season 10 during "Black Friday Week" - either via Amazon or Best Buy -
thats how I got the last five or six seasons - between $10-$15. Would have been cool if I could
have finished off buying seasons of Smallville that way. Hopefully I can find it around that price
before next years "Black Friday Week!" LOL!

LB...

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

This.

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Same here, but it didn't come out in time. Perhaps someone will have it on sale the week of Little "Stinker" Day (April 14) this is when I'll have my next purchasing Binge. (This date is approxamatly halfway between Christmas and My Birthday, so it has become my third day to treat myself each year). :D

Re: Smallville: The Complete Series
 

Waiting for a dotd $80 or under pricing I can wait.
