    My Time-Life SMDM set arrived TODAY!!

    It is AWESOME!!!

    The collector's box is super cool...it has various scenes on it along with some really nice embossed circuitry running all over the outside.

    The lid is lenticular and shows Steve Austin running when you tilt it. When you open the lid, you get the show's opening monologue by Richard Anderson.

    The box on mine was perfect, but I am concerned for other people's sets in general because the set, while shrinkwrapped, is shipped loose inside a box with plenty of room to jostle about. Some people may end up with dinged corners or loose discs as a result.

    I had one loose disc out of 40, but I was lucky. No damage to it.

    I know what I'm doing tonight....dah dah dah daah!

        Go to the Time Life website and look up your order status and you'll probably find that it has shipped. Time Life doesn't email a shipping notification.

        Mine shipped on Monday.

          I ordered mine on September 15th, and I'm in NE Ohio. Time-Life sent me a tracking number for DHL, but then DHL handed it over to the post office in Kentucky. Kinda weird.

            Question ...

            Are all the Bionic Woman cross-overs in this set including Return of Bigfoot and Kill Oscar ?

                Wow,
                That set sounds great.
                Too bad it's way out of my price-range

                      Mine shipped on Monday as well and is in transit. It shows that it will be given to the post office to deliver. The last place it showed up on tracking was Maryland, so it's pretty darn close. Hopefully I get it this week. Woohoo!

                        I like the individual plastic season boxes with tray pages.

                        I hate when they sell seasons in those fold out cardboard things that usually either don't hold the discs good --- or holds them so tight you snap them trying to get them out.

                        This case looks perfect.

                          Do not attempt this at home. This is a professional knife wielder on a closed set

                          I am surprised he didn't cut off a finger or two with the way he was waving that knife around!

                            Mine was in Jersey as of 4 am (I'm in NY)and that was the last update. I bet it comes in the next couple days.

                              This guy is just sad. This is not your son being born-it's just a freakin' delivery!

                              I'm such a nerd people I know have already concluded I video tape the arrival of merchandise too.
