We also beat Family Guy, Grey’s Anatomy, The Big Bang Theory, Bones, The Office, in terms of revenue. DAMN. Is that awesome.

[SVfan87]

i kinda resent that they put a ton of extra features on the complete set. i really dont want to spend money on dvds i already have.

This is a lot of money! Smallville is awesome in every way.:D Thanks for the info:)

I am surprised that S9 outsold S8 by about 83k copies. You would think that the longer a series lasts the general trend would be downward for units sold as each season passes

[SnowBird]

^^Maybe S9 was liked by more people than S8 was, therefore, it sold more copies. I know I liked S9 better.

[dekadans]

According to a comment on amazon.co.uk, the Region 2 version of The Complete Series will not contain the fancy packaging, Superboy/Aquaman pilots and other special features.
That's too bad. I probably won't buy it if this turns out to be true, at least not right now.


I wrote to WB Home Video to clarify: It's only going to contain the series on 60 discs. The US has special packaging, a newspaper from the series and 2 additional discs.

[BoyScout-ManOfTomorrow]

I am surprised that S9 outsold S8 by about 83k copies. You would think that the longer a series lasts the general trend would be downward for units sold as each season passes

While S8 had a better story and the best writing (especially on the first half) imo, S9 had more variety and could be concidered as more entertaining. It had more in your face episodes like Rabid...with zombies/shotgun firing Ollie?!...or Ollie running from one jump scare/action to the next in Roulette...or stupid countryside inns with possession plots...episodes that didn't really make sense. Granted Absolute Justice was the #1 best thing Smallville ever produced, Salvation was an awesome season finale and Callum Blue's Zod was excellent.

I'd like to know how much S4 has sold. I suspect it's sold well (better compared to some other seasons?) even though the season was horrible and amongst the worst of the entire series.

[KSiteTV]

Here's a trailer for the Season 10 DVD:

http://www.ksitetv.com/9063/smallville-season-10-on-blu-ray-dvd-promo-trailer/

PLEASE use the K-Site Amazon links if you're going to order them - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003L77GG0/gijoevid

[AChloeChick]

^^^Thanks for the trailer. Looks like an amazing set!

Do you know if there is a date for the S10 DVDs or is the set going to be the only thing available?

[superhippie2000]

i think both the set and season dvd is the last tuesday in november.

[wellinglover66]

Amazon has lowered the price of the boxset: http://www.ksitetv.com/9116/amazon-lowers-the-price-on-smallville-the-complete-series-dvd-pre-orders/

Thanks.

Was on Amazon a little while ago and came across this The Smallville Chronicles: Critical Essays on the Television Series. Although it's not a DVD, I was wondering if anyone else knows anything about it (other than the info on Amazon)?

[Wolflmg]

Amazon has lowered the price of the boxset: http://www.ksitetv.com/9116/amazon-lowers-the-price-on-smallville-the-complete-series-dvd-pre-orders/

That's cool for anyone whoes looking to get it and anyone who already pre-ordered. The new price is really close to what I'm paying for it from the wbshop.com.
(A coupon was used). I did go check on their site just now, but amazon has the best price that I've seen anywhere.

[KneelBeforeSmallville]

Its awesome to see The Smallville season 9 be a blockbuster in the dvd market, I hoped it would perform well. I think a reason for the big numbers is becuase of the cover, it screams superman and its the coolest cover in terms of wow factor IMO, Idk why WB used an old image for the season 10 cover, a better cover is a possible impulse buy for a comic fan. idk thats my 2 cents. But i do hope the DVDs continue to make money, I hope WB sees the fans are still hungry and give us a TV movie or somthing!!!!

But guys! I was at NYCC and i got to see the Series Retrospective, IT WAS AMAZING! Heatwarming, funny, epic, all of the above! Def getting the set!! It was awesome seeing it on the bigscreen with a bunch of sv fans, we were cheering loud!!!!

[Clark/Lois-fan]

I'll be royally disappointed if the retrospective, the final comic con panel & behind the scenes of 'Homecoming' isn't on the R2 speciel features. I can do without Aquaman pilot & Superboy, but the other features is a must for me. Simple as that.

Oh, and by the way- I've never seen such a poor job for a cover before for the 10th season. UGH!

[BorgDroneX]

less than a week to go before i get my copy of Smallville Seasons 1 - 10 Boxset!!!!!:lol:
sooooo looking forward to watching the entire series from beginning to end :)

[Danville]

I'm looking forward to next week too. I live in Canada but I'm ordering the Season 10 Blu-ray from amazon in the UK (since it's region free) and will be released a month earlier than I can buy it in Canada. I'll also be buying the complete series set once it's released in North America on November 29th. (Yeah, I'm that much of a fan)

Anyone else in North America getting a jump on the UK Season 10 Blu-ray set?

[heathfodor]

Was wondering if anyone knew if the Complete Smallville will contain all of the DVD extras from the previous seasons?

[Wolflmg]

Was wondering if anyone knew if the Complete Smallville will contain all of the DVD extras from the previous seasons?

I don't see why they wouldn't.

[Raistlin]

I can't believe S8 DVD cover has the most votes. I mean S5 is just so much better.

[Genny]

Anyone have the season 10 DVD yet? Not American people, we have to wait another month... I was wondering what the discs looked like, can someone post pics of them? Is that allowed?

[BorgDroneX]

ive got the season 1 - 10 boxset :D:lol::p:rotfl:

no extras, no thrills, just 10 dvd boxes season 1 - 10 with 6 dvd's in each
4 eps on each disc
the 6th disc in each season has bonus material

[seglia001]

I agree the S10 cover is just awful, it doesn't feel superman related at all and surely in every region the complete set will be identical.

[smallville forever]

i like the cover for season ten the superman symbol the shadow cast of superman the man behind the man of steel its a powerful image

[Lucky Luke]

Season 8, really? 9 is just so badass!

[nate-dog1701d]

^I just noticed that and am also in disbelief. My guess is that a lot of Lois/Erica fans voted. Season 9's cover is by far my favorite.

[jsm]

I think the original poll only had Seasons 1-8 as options. Season 9 was added to the poll much later, and people who had already voted weren't allowed to vote again.

[Lucky Luke]

I think the original poll only had Seasons 1-8 as options. Season 9 was added to the poll much later, and people who had already voted weren't allowed to vote again.

Fair enough. I still don't see how Season 8 is better than the others though, let alone by a longshot.

[SnowBird]

I think the original poll only had Seasons 1-8 as options. Season 9 was added to the poll much later, and people who had already voted weren't allowed to vote again.

This is true and it's too bad that the pole doesn't show a true vote for S9 as being able to make a choice for all of the seasons at the same time.

[nate-dog1701d]

I didn't even know you could add options to polls once they were posted.

[seglia001]

Can't recommend this enough I just got the blu ray today from the UK and looking at the finale it looks amazing, especially the bit in the fortress when he gets the suit and the CGI Superman saving the plane and floating in space looks way better and clearer than even the 720p HDTV rips. It also sounds unbelievable as it's in (d t s) so I say you ain't seen the Smallville finale till you've seen it on blu ray.

[WellingFan]

I think i'll get both after reading you're post!

I'll get the standard boxset to complete my collection but just for this year the blu-ray sounds very appealing!

[ebatcl]

^What are the differences between the standard box set and the blu ray?
I'm talking about extra features :o.

I only own dvds of s4, s8 and s9.

[newbaggy]

You don't get any extra features compared to the season DVDs. In fact, non-English speaking European buyers may need to stick with the DVDs, since the Blu-rays are region-free, so have fewer alternate language soundtrack/subtitle options (for example, the S10 region 2 DVD has a French-language soundtrack and Dutch and Norwegian subtitles, which the Blu-ray lacks).

The main differences relate to picture and sound quality - if you have the equipment to make use of them. Remember that the standard 576i PAL TV standard used in the UK is not only lower resolution than the 1080p high-def pictue on the Blu-Ray, but - because Smallville was shot at 24 frames-per-second, whilst British TV transmits at 25 frames-per-second (technically, it runs at 50Hz - cycles per second - but half a frame is tramsitted each cycle) - the DVD version is slightly sped-up (you may notice that people's voices sound slightly higher-pitched as a result). Itunes high-def runs at a greater resolution (720p) - though lower-res than Blu-Ray - but it works at the US TV refresh rate of 60Hz (30 frames per second). To show 24fps footage (like movies) on US TV, they use a technique called "3:2 pulldown" that can result in a "jerkiness" in some scenes. If you have a Blu-Ray player that can output at 24fps and a TV that can accept that as an input (you need to check the specs of both, but the capability is fairly common nowadays), then you should see picture quality and smoothness noticeably better than a DVD or iTunes download. However, given the costs involved, the improvement may not justify going for Blu-ray unless you (a) need a new TV and/or DVD player anyway, and (b) you want to move to Blu-Ray for all your future movie/TV boxset purchases.

I see I'll have to stick with the dvds :o.

Question: The homecoming featurette has been leaked on youtube, and before I watch it I wanted to know if the homecoming interviews were really just clips taken from the 90 minute retrospective. I'm wondering the same thing about the "Son becomes the father" featurette as well. If that's true than I want to wait to just watch the whole retrospective all together. But if they're an entire separate thing then I'd like to watch them now. Haha.

I just really like to know if te homecoming feature will be on the Complete series set.

[starflower69]

I bought my season 10 boxset at the weekend and I have to say, I'm disappointed in the packaging. Why have an envelope style box? Already it's annoying me because every time I put a dvd back in, it's opening out on the other side. I'm going to have to glue it or something to make the box more stable. I also like the cover but I would have thought for a Finale boxset, it could have been a lot more Supermanly.

[vantheman77]

I may not afford the Complete Series, but I'm definitely getting the 10th Season set. It's no surprise that the 9th season sold better than the 8th season because the 9th season had Superman mythos written all over it. The 8th season belonged to Chloe.

[RightWingConspirator]

I think I'm gonna get hosed by WB....I'll be buying all three (BD, DVD, Complete series).

Got to. I have S1 through S9 on DVD, so I need to fill out that collection. I need the BD version for excellent picture quality for the finale. and I need the Complete Series set for that 100 minute feature.

Warner, you folks owe me stock options. Something.

comes out next week :D

[Aries83]

Has anyone cancelled any of their pre-oders of either set?

Now that the release date is so close, I've been having second thoughts about ordering the Season 10 set with the Complete Series.

I'm afraid that if I cancel the pre-order of the S10 set now, it'll only go up in price in December if I buy it then, which is why I'd rather buy both at the same time...UGH! What to do!

Is anyone in the same boat, or is it just me? :\

Why do you need both? I'm just getting the Complete series set, even though I already have 1-9 (half of which I got two years ago when you could get each season for 10 bucks). If it were me I'd stick to the Complete set and cancel the other one. If you really want the season 10 box set you can always get it later and the price will drop down.

[Superboy2]

I plan on selling the other sets once I get the complete series set.

[Wolflmg]

I plan on selling the other sets once I get the complete series set.

I got an email from the wbshop.com that my Smallville The Complete series has shipped. I found it intresting seeing as I thought it wouldn't ship until the 29th.

[Aries83]

Why do you need both?

I don't need both, I want both. I guess it's because I already have S1-9, so why would I not buy S10 with it, even though I can buy it later...It's the collector in me I guess.

Maybe I will cancel the S10 set.

It is! :)

And again, everyone... please... if you haven't pre-ordered the Complete Series yet (out Tuesday!), please order through Amazon (only $199.99 right now)... and through the K-Site link. It really would help me a lot in keeping all of this going...

[kalel1938]

i personally have a what i call a watchable set and a do not touch set. so i will be getting 2 season 10 dvd sets and 2 complete series sets . i have yet to start on blue ray simply because i do not have blue ray players. ive replaced my season 1 watchable set now twice because of wearout.

[Vergon6]

I can't really afford the complete series set. It does have some cool extras though. I already own the first 9 seasons, and I will have to wait for Season 10 to come down in price until I get it I think.

So for anyone who lives in R2 land anyway or can play R2...

Just a reminder - the UK "Complete Series" set is not the a Region 2/PAL version of the Region 1/NTSC boxset. It is merely a boxset of the individual season 1-10 releases - it does not have discs 61 and 62 with the additional special features, the Daily Planet newspaper, etc. If you are in "R2 land", you will need to get a multi-region player and order the R1 set from the US to get the special features - or (like me) hope that Warner Brothers eventually brings out an R2 disc or online download of the special features for non-R1 DVD or Blu-Ray buyers.

[superhippie2000]

The extra-extras, that aren't on the individual season discs, are on Discs 61 and 62, so, yes. :)

62 discs? yikes. sometimes i wonder how people can get thru so many discs in a season set. especially when its some shows like law and order that have over 100 discs in the set. imagine getting to the last disc and have it be broken and you cant return it cause of the 30 day expiration date.

Not that I know of, though the Amazon page has pictures of the corners of them popping out from behind the box :)

I didn't get an individual Season 10 set, just the complete series, or else I'd take some pics myself!

i get two of each both on release date. but usually if i have to replace it like when i had to replace my season1 ill wait for the sales.

[KneelBeforeSmallville]

Tomorrow im going to Best Buy and hopefully, getting a season 10 BLU Ray set! and the Series collector set. Im getting both because of a few reasons, 1. IM a huge smallville nerd and love everything smallville. 2. I plan on using the collector set as a display and for show only, its massive and i love it. It will be a major part of the collection. I went to New York Comic Con and saw the Series Retrospective WHICH WAS AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!! So its a must for me at this point. 3. Im getting the blu ray set because i recently got a blu ray, and i want to get season 10 on pure HD so i can really embrace Smallville like its live and im watching it, idk im wierd. and like most of you i have all the individual sets so i want to complete that collection in some way. I miss Smallville!!! <3

[alexisfan07]

Ah, thanks KSiteTV. :)

Is someone willing to post pics of the discs from the season 10 set if anyone's getting it instead of the complete series set? I'd really appreciate it

To be fair, he was only in two scenes out of the entire season. The Kents - dead, alive, AU, or whatever - played a much bigger role.

I'm on the series retrospective, which turned out a lot better than the Season 6 DVD piece, which kind of embarrassed me - even though the producers who did it are way cool.

Bah you lucky Americans... who knows when the deluxe set will be available here :( I could always import, but I prefer local copies of things these days. Looks freakin sweet!

[The Short One]

My complete series is out for delivery. There is no way I am going to be able to focus at work today!

[wellinglover66]

I should get my completes series on Friday. I'm sooo excited.:D

[Austin 3:16]

My blu ray of season 10 should be here Wed or Thurs if not today. I asked my friend that I ordered it from who works at a store here and he said that. The first ep I'm going to watch is Homecoming!

That's what mine felt like when I got mine yesterday afternoon when UPS dropped it off.

[TheIntersect]

just picked up my blu-ray from Future Shop. Had no idea it came with a Smallville t-shirt!! It's super wrinkled but awesome. A friend just called to tell me he picked his up at Best Buy and the Daily Planet shirt that comes with isn't as nice

I didn't get a T-shirt with the complete series set, but when I bought season 9 from Best Buy last year I got a Blur t-shirt with it. It's pretty cool.

[Red-Blue Blur]

Even if you pre-ordered somewhere else its almost worth going to best buy just to check out the display. My local best buy put up a complete series display. Loaded with pictures from throughout the series run. DVD/Blue Ray both come with a Daily Planet T-Shirt, Complete Series comes with a Clark Action Figure in Red Jacket Blue Costume.

[x20ArchAngel09x]

I just bought my S10 DVD from Best Buy! :p It came with a Daily Planet T-shirt. :D I saw that The Complete Series had a Red-Blue Blur action figure attached to it. ;)

Same here. They had it set up at the front door as you walk in like an impluse buy. :) I didn't spend time to look around, just a glance as I got my copy then walked to the checkout. So I didn't really notice anything else other than S9 right there as well. I didn't feel like lingering since there was a sales guy standing right next to me. :\

I just looked it up. I would have prefered the one you got at Future Shop. I always thought that's what the t-shirt would have looked like. :) But the Best Buy one that I have isn't bad either, it makes it unique to that season of the show, not just overall Smallville. :)

You will think someone tried to mail you a brick.


That's what mine felt like when I got mine yesterday afternoon when UPS dropped it off.

So, does that mean the actually packaging for the entire set is somewhat small? Maybe it's just me, but Amazon always seems to ship small items in huge boxes.

No, to "mail you a brick" is an expression for the heavy weight of a box you recieved relative to it's size. I saw it in the store. It's a good foot and a half long(ish) by about 10 in(ish) high and 3 in(ish) deep. ;) I was thinking about picking it up to see how much it weighed, but I didn't. I've picked up other box sets before and they are a good damn heavy, ranging close to I guess 10-15 pounds. ;)

You could message the posters who recieved them by mail, it should have the weight on the shipping label. :)

[superhippie2000]

To be fair, he was only in two scenes out of the entire season. The Kents - dead, alive, AU, or whatever - played a much bigger role.

well Lex was in the whole season MR was in 2 scenes lol. but ya. still would have been cool if they put all the actors who showed up this season on a disc.

[kalel1938]

15 to 20 of us were in walmart last night at midnightish looking for season 10. expecting them to put it out. they never brought it. finally a guy in a home made blur shirt asked and an associate told him they werent going to put it out until the morning. so we all grumble and leave. i go back this am to the same walmart around 8ish to find 6 to 10 different people waiting for an associate to find their smallville dvd's. he comes back to the registers to tell us, the dvd's arent here. walmart has lost my dvd business! especially when they advertise it online. i ended up getting the bonus tv shirt offers along with the bonus figure offer with complete series from best buy.

[bennyjr123]

....anyone else get two copies by accident? amazon sent me two and only charged me for one...good karma?

[superhippie2000]

i dont think mine will come till tommorow :(

[reobeem]

I got the 10th Season at Best Buy and it came with a T-Shirt. It only cost me $25 thanks to some Best Buy money I had. Later this week I'm picking up the Complete series with an exclusive Clark Kent Figure.

Mine came in two boxes, but it shipped form the wbshop.com.


One a side note, I noticed a mistake at least with my bonus disk and the booklet that tells you everything that's on the disk. Some of the bonus features listed for disk 61 is actually on disk 62 and vice verse.

[superhippie2000]

anyone have a picture of the box of season 10 and the insides and all that?

Wonder if u get anything for preordering it from a shop like Barnes and Noble, the 10th season on blu ray I mean.

10 lbs whoa! That's called getting you money's worth!

10 lbs for 10 seasons. Nice!

[KneelBeforeSmallville]

Eek. Just think by this time tomorrow, more of you will know what I look like... lol.

LOL i was at New York Comic Con when they showed the retrospective, coolest part was seeing your comments throughout. Thanks for all the hard work on the series and keeping the fans informed, it means alot :) and im shure you feel honored.

I got the series set AND the s10 blu ray. All i can say is EPIC! The series set is massive! Heavy! and i LOVE the artwork and all the images. Bravo to WB, they really put it on a grand scale. I got mine at Best Buy and it came with a Blur 2.0 Action figure!!! Its awesome!! Its the best part of my collection!!! and the blu ray s10 set is my birthday present! I get to open it December 13th!!

DESTINY FULFILLED!!! ALWAYS HOLD ON TO SMALLVILLE <3

[alexisfan07]

Could someone post some images of the episode guide? I'm curious how detailed it is, what the pages look like etc. Please and thanks! :)

[Vergon6]

I'm on the series retrospective, which turned out a lot better than the Season 6 DVD piece, which kind of embarrassed me - even though the producers who did it are way cool.

----- Added 18 Seconds later -----



You will think someone tried to mail you a brick.
Cool. Well I'm glad the series retrospective worked out well, especially in light of how you think the other featurette was handled.

[Austin 3:16]

My friend who works @ Barnes and Noble said Smallville: The Complete Tenth Season is the one dvd and blu ray release he's gotten the most requests for this wk. Thanks folks! Makes this Smallville fan proud to see that even though the show is over, the fandom still rages on like it was still airing.

[Livstevi21]

Just got my complete box set today OMG I can't believe it arrived SO quickly!!! 14669Ordered it on Sunday from the US and I live in the UK. I chose the quickest delivery, but I wasn't expecting it to arrive till Monday! Wow. :D

[KSiteTV]

I took some pictures which you can find at the bottom of the review: http://www.ksitetv.com/9730/advance-review-smallville-the-complete-series-dvd-set-arrives-1129/ . I think there are some of the insides; I've forgotten now! But basically, the insides are just like the booklets that came with the season sets.

[superhippie2000]

mine wont be here till tommorow :( errrrrrr

[Austin 3:16]

I haven't gotten mine yet either. I hope I get it tomorrow.

[wellinglover66]

Someone on YouTube had uploaded their unboxing the their boxset: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=p_GEOi-Dqss

[loislanerocks]

Did they photoshop Davis/Sam out of the front cover of seasons 6-10 on the Complete Series set?

[Stun04]

Someone on YouTube had uploaded their unboxing the their boxset: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=p_GEOi-Dqss

I was laughing at some of this, some of the things he was getting excited about were kind of funny. On a totally different note, I was watching Homecoming and in the Future Clois scene Lois tells Clark to check his trunk back at the farm for the Legion ring, guess that means the farm didn't sell at the finale. Lot of cool things in the whole set but being as i've already bought the seasons over the years indivdually I can't really justify buying it. Season 10 however is on its way to my house as we speak :P

[Aries83]

I just got my Series set. The box was smaller than I thought it would be, but definitely heavy. Upon opening, I was surprised that it was in yet another, sturdier box that definitely helped keep the box from getting damaged.

In case anyone wants to know, the set is about 11.5" X 3.75" X 8.25" (length, width, height). I haven't opened it yet as I want to line my shelf with bubble wrap so nothing gets damaged, but I can't wait to watch the new documentaries. :)

[Austin 3:16]

Yeah the farm thing in Homecoming confused me a bit too, but then I just thought that maybe they bought it back. Either that or maybe that really was the Kent Farm Chloe and the kid were at in the finale.

[superhippie2000]

ill be getting mine in the mail today :D finally.

[Austin 3:16]

Mine should be coming today too. Can't wait to get it, but I'm also sad because after this, no more SV. Well, maybe we will see a reunion later on of some sort, but for the time being its over.

[superhippie2000]

woohoo got mine :D sure took forever lol.

[Austin 3:16]

Mine is still taking forever lol! I know it'll arrive soon but I'm pacing a groove in my floor waiting!

Is Homecoming the favorite episode of all time now?

Just got it 2 mins ago! It was in the mailbox. Usually UPS delivers stuff from Barnes and Noble. Oh well, maybe its cause I ordered it a month early. Just glad I got it!

[superhippie2000]

I ordered from best buy. they like use UPS to make it ship faster then transfers over to the mail. people on amazon usually ship faster. :\ kind of hate their cardboard mailers where its 2 shees of cardboard glued together. i rather get stuff in a box or atleast a bubble mailer.


i think homecoming is on the top of the favorites list.

[reobeem]

I read the disc holders are a pain for the Box set, is anyone having this problem? Only a few things I wish were on here. One is the 2 soundtrack, the Wonder Woman Pilot, and if not in it allready an interview with Terence Stamp.

I personally think they are. I'm really really nervous about disc scratching and when you take them out it....just doesn't feel safe to me. Haha. No problems watching so far...course I'm only on the first disc still.

[Wolflmg]

Yeah the farm thing in Homecoming confused me a bit too, but then I just thought that maybe they bought it back. Either that or maybe that really was the Kent Farm Chloe and the kid were at in the finale.

No, Chloe and the kid are somewhere in Singapore. If you look close at what Chloe sent to Lois, it lists Singapore as the address.

[DJ Doena]

On a totally different note, I was watching Homecoming and in the Future Clois scene Lois tells Clark to check his trunk back at the farm for the Legion ring, guess that means the farm didn't sell at the finale.

Keep in mind that all of season 10 was about Clark letting go of the past and the darkness and to look to the future. All of season 10. No of course not, the finale told us that letting go was wrong, too.

If they don't get their arc straight, why would they care about such a pesky detail as the ownership of the farm.

I think in Homecoming it was dealing with letting go your your guilt and blame as those can lead to darkness. Then in the final Clark thought he had to let go of everything together both the good and the bad, but his father told him he didn't have to let go of everything in order to move forward. Clark could still hold on to the life he had in Smallville and become the hero the world needs. The only thing he had to let go of is his anger, regrets and his guilt about the past.

[Austin 3:16]

Maybe they did buy the farm back somehow.

I thought something about the address looked different. Then again, I thought maybe Oliver ordered it from Singapore to be shipped to SV.

The soundtracks were some of my favorite things about the series. When I was stressed, I would pop them in and feel better. I'm kind of hoping they will keep doing soundtracks over the years. Just because a show is gone doesn't mean the songs it inspires are finished. There are PLENTY of songs Smallville inspired and that came before which could still be used on multiple Smallville soundtracks. Just look at the pages of music that was used on the show. More and more seem to pop up everyday.

[MercsOwnz]

Gorgeous!

http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo261/UltraBeatdown56/05500ec4.jpg

I was very much so willing to spend the $250+tax to get it with the figure but when it rang up it was $199.99!

[Austin 3:16]

The way its propped up against the lamp gives it a Kent House feel. The window in the background with the light like that reminds me of Smallville. If that was a video, I would half expect Clark himself to walk in and pick up The Complete Series package.

[MercsOwnz]

Always thought my house looked kind of similar to the Kent house lol.

[Austin 3:16]

Lol! Enjoy the complete series. I'm watching Season 10 as we speak.

[reobeem]

The Complete Series was $199.99+$16 in tax but it was worth it. This is the only series I would ever do this for just because of how much I love it. Anyone know what the Daily Planet news paper saids on the inside. I'm curious what DC put in it since I can't open mine till Christmas.

[Austin 3:16]

I was just wondering myself what the paper said. I think DC themselves put that out so its probably pretty cool.

[Estro-gen X]

Its probably the same one they were giving away at comic con a few years back.

By the way, the region 2 version isn't nearly as nice. I'm glad I've kept my originals.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ipnBlPvlL.jpg

[jsm]

I like that version better than our version, actually. It doesn't look as nice, but the discs look safer. And that would be the top priority for me.

[DJ Doena]

I actually got it a few days ago. And while I'm not a fan of extras anyway (I don't watch making ofs and such stuff) the Daily Planet newspaper would have been a nice gimmick.

But that 8-fold isn't worth another 100 bucks for me either; I paid 77.31 Euros including shipping which is roughly 104 US-Dollars.

Arhh, looks like the same as my FRIENDS- Complete series set :)

So what are the speciel features on the region 2 complete series set? It would be much appreciated.

[newbaggy]

So what are the speciel features on the region 2 complete series set? It would be much appreciated.

The same as on the Region 2 DVDs for each season - the R2 complete series set is simply the individual season boxsets put in one box (just as they did a Seasons 1-9 boxset last year). If you already have the individual seasons, you don't get anything extra.

So the Smallville Retrospective is not included on S10 in the box? If so, that's a total bummer.

[DJ Doena]

Smallville is now my fourth series where I have all seasons at least twice.

The first one was Babylon 5 where I bought the single seasons and later a huge Complete Series box (an actual aluminium box with an engraved B5 logo).

http://doena-soft.de/dvds/thumbnails/tvshow11.jpg

Then came Friends where I first had the Complete Series box from the UK and later bought the Complete Series box from the US because it had extended episodes.

http://doena-soft.de/dvds/thumbnails/tvshow08.jpg

The third one was Buffy the Vampire Slayer where I first bought a single season 1, then the Complete Series box from the UK and later a Complete Series box from the US just because.

http://doena-soft.de/dvds/thumbnails/tvshow05.jpg

So far this was my "most seasons for one show" record holder, having 15 seasons of a 7-season show.

Now I have 8 seasons of Smallville on DVD (1-8), 3 seasons on Blu-ray (8-10) --- okay I don't have S10 yet but it's on the way --- and the Complete Series box from the UK, making it 21 seasons of a 10-season show.

[Livstevi21]

I have to agree about how the DVDs are kept in the region 1 version, but its worth it for all the extras. :p The region 2 box set looks kinda boring!

[maddib]

I haven't had a problem with getting the discs out of the holders. I'll admit, yes the packaging is a little tight, but it only took me around 5-10 seconds to slowly prise each disc out of its holder. I spent part of Monday evening removing each disc and checking to see there were no scratches, and so far so good. I even removed a few discs twice just to make sure that they wont scratch with being continually removed from the packaging.

I think a better option would have been to have plastic disc holders (just like on the individual box sets) glued to alternate pages of each book holder, they could have easialy have made space for 4 discs on each other page. I dont think this would've detracted from not being able to see the photo that was on each other page.

The only other thing I think they could've done better was to give the option to view the retrospective all the way through, I started watching it last night and after each season I was just returned to the menu screen - no real issue but would've been nicer to have had that option.

All in all, the best £134 I've spent in a long time.

I haven't opened mine yet, but I watched a couple of unboxings on YouTube. I agree on the plastic disc holders.

I also wish they could've shaped the box like the Fortress key. Maybe a big plastic keep case shaped like the key holding all the discs on swiveled plastic disc holders. Still, I think it'll be worth the price tag once I open it.

I believe those may be on the season 10 sets disks. I know I saw 'My Fathers, My son' listed on one of the season 10 disk.

In response to the forummers wondering if the season 10 extras are included on the complete season collection - every extra that existed on the individual season 1 to 10 boxsets is included in the complete collection. In effect all the collection is, is all 10 boxsets discs given a new label - Kryptonian symbols. The discs are exactly the same as whats in peoples individual season sets.

[x20ArchAngel09x]

I was in Target last night and saw the set for $249.99. I thought they were crazy. :lol:
A couple days ago when I was in Best Buy, I found one and it was raised to this price as well. I also took the chance to finally pick it up and that thing was HEAVY! I know the guy on here posted their shipping label said 10 pounds, but I swear it felt like a ton of bricks! :eek:

[Austin 3:16]

Yeah when I was @ BB a couple of days ago I was holding the Complete Series. Swear I got a workout that day picking the box up and putting it back!

It defaults to the menu - and like season 9, it does not have the "clips montage" intro of the DVD menu (presumably because it also has to function as a "pop-up" menu on the Blu-Ray.

The british Blu-ray have a menu where you can choose "play all" or "episode selection".

I believe the US discs are identical since the DVD collection software "DVD Profiler" identifies the discs as the same as in the US Blu-ray set.

Hey guys, I have a question. Is there anyone that bought the season 10 set? My disc art is really blurry for lack of a better word. Anyone else have that issue?

Thanks in advance and Merry Xmas! :D

[reobeem]

The Complete Collection is really cool. The figure looks great. As for the newspaper I just glanced over it but it includes pics of the League, Lex Lionel, other people, and some adds. As for the discs I tried moving a few, they are a little tough to get out but seem fine. The might have smuges from the sliding but I have all 10 Seasons on their own so it is not a problem.

Merry Christmas

Yeah, low on ink might be a better description. I'll have to upload some pics of it soon. My dad got it at Best Buy so it's definitely legit. Is there any way of swapping out the discs for another set? All I know is they are nowhere near as clear as the previous season disc art in my sets.

[alexisfan07]

Does anyone else have the season 10 standalone release that can comment on the disc art quality? Thanks

Season 10 is $14.99 on Amazon now. I bought it a little over a week ago for $37.99 and NOW the price drops. :( Seasons 1, 5, 7, 8, and 9 are $17.99. The season 10 Blu-ray is $24.99, but Amazon says it usually ships in 1 to 3 weeks.

Does anyone else have the season 10 standalone release that can comment on the disc art quality? Thanks

The disc art is good on my set. A few people were mentioning some of the discs have some texture to them. My Season 9 set and Supernatural Season 5 set are like that. But the season 10 art is clear and smooth.

I knew there had to be some copies that were good cause I saw scans of them on a DVD cover website. Where did you get yours if you don't mind my asking?

Ok, thanks for the info! I think I'll try to do the same. I wonder, will I be able to return mine to Best Buy after I opened it? LOL

[WellingFan]

Just ordered mine from amazon as well, that is amazing!

Here are some pics I took of my set with my Mac, I don't know if you can see what I'm talking about though haha. The definition is just very weak and the colors seem extremely dark.

I just ordered mine from Amazon yesterday since it was on sale (and it got shipped from a warehouse close by so it will be delivered today), but I hope my set doesn't look like that. Maybe they opted for a matte-like finish vs. smooth on later sets that got pressed?

On a side note, it's interesting how Amazon lowered the price to $14.99. It was just $20.99 yesterday when I ordered, although I now see that there is a longer wait time for shipping. Weird :\

Update: My set just arrived. Mine are also textured, alexisfan07, so it can't be a printing/pressing error. The discs look absolutely fine to me. I'm sure they'll play fine, too.

That's super weird though that they're textured cause we've got some accounts from people that they're NOT textured. I'm so confused! Gah. Your pictures look ok though? Cause mine don't lol.

[RightWingConspirator]

Got mine the other day from Best Buy for $15. Bummed that there are only two documentries, and no commentary for the finale.

Probably didn't want to bring up Welling not wearing the suit!

[kalel1938]

Thanks for the response. I'm just confused cause this image shows them in perfect resolution.

If I had to guess, I bet the change was made to prevent people from scanning the disc art and using it for fan edits that are sold online.

LMAO wow just happened to find someone commenting on this

i noticed on the picture link you provided the dvds were in the uk ( your welcome to correct me if im wrong) but i think the clarity issue comes from different region dvd/bluray dvd's. your dvds are marked north american which is a different region from the picture link you provided. if you would return your dvd's you may get the same "matte blurry finish" because the "glossy finish" is only available on foreign dvd sets.

[RightWingConspirator]

What, exactly, does the $200+ Complete Series set have that the (individual seasons) DVD/Blu Ray sets lack?

I'm not asking about the Daily Planet edition or the action figure, I'm talking documentries. I know the S10 DVd and Blu Ray editions have two--the 'Homecoming' retrospective, and the 'Fathers and Sons' one.

Just wondering what I'm missing, documentry-wise, if I don't pick up this expensive edition (I have every season in the individual box sets).

[wellinglover66]

^^Some of the other features on the complete series are:

- A Decade of Comic-Con
- Paley Festival 2004 Event
- Retrospective featurettes from each season
- The 2006 pilot for Aquaman
- The 1961 pilot for The Adventures of Superboy
- Smallville's 100th Episode: The Making of a Milestone
- Secret Origin: The American Story of DC Comics

[jsm]

I think it's:
-A season-by-season Series Retrospective (90-100 minutes)
-2010 Comic-Con panel
-1961 Superboy Pilot
-2006 Aquaman Pilot

[alexisfan07]

I don't think that's true re: foreign release vs. domestic because jsm said theirs was glossy and not matte finish and they got it from Amazon

Thanks!

The Aquaman pilot I have; it was included years ago in the first release of one of the early seasons.
I'm thinking you mean 200th episode feature, (not 100), as the 100th (if memory serves) was the one in the 5th season in which Johnathan died. The 200th was S10's "Homecoming", and the S10 boxset did include that.
Secret Oirgins I have. That's a full-length documentry, and is available at Best Buy for about $15.

The rest I'd like to see, though.

[wellinglover66]

^^No, it was the 100th as I read it off my series boxset booklet.:)

[KSiteTV]

The 100th episode retrospective on the complete series set is longer than what is on the Season 5 set. Originally the longer version was a store exclusive.

[DailyPlanetFan]

I was wondering if anyone with the Season 10 Boxset would be willing to transcribe the letter from Souders & Peterson in the episode guide booklet onto the forum. I'm planning on getting the Complete Series boxset soon and would really like to know what they had to say about the last season.

Welcome to the end...of the beginning.

Charting the course of Clark's journey for so many seasons with so many amazing writers, cast and crew has been a tremendous honor for all of us behind the scenes here at Smallville. As we sat down at the writers' table for the final season, we knew it would be the most exciting year yet, filled with so many emotions. Finally ready to take Clark out of the shadows and into the light, we had no idea of how much was ahead that we didn't even anticipate.

From the very first moments at last year's Comic-Con in San Diego when all of the show's beloved fans crammed into the largest room to get a glimpse of our final teaser reel, and Tom and the rest of our stars joined us on stage, it was clear from their reaction that this would be an epic, history-making year in evolving the mythos of Smallville into that of Superman. We pushed the limits of everyone to bring you these final 22 episodes, packed with more iconic moments than arguably any season yet: Jonathan and Martha. Lois knowing Clark's secret. Clark in a red S-Shield. Brainiac. Zod. Marriages. Glasses. Granny Goodness. Glorious Godfrey. Desaad. Isis. Suicide Squad. Legion Rings. Hawkman. Supergirl. Jor-El and Lara. Sam, Ella and Lucy Lane. Booster Gold. Earth 2. Darkseid. Plummeting planes. Tess with a twist. Green Arrow and Chloe. Lionel. Lex. The Suit...Flying.

And there's actually more. We hope you enjoy the end of this ride as much as we did. Thank you for 10 amazing seasons!

Thank you so much!

Just wanted to tell everyone I got an edition (region one) with nice and glossy disc art on ebay from Puerto Rico :) Happy camper over here. Now about selling the one I have...haha.

If anyone has any interest in buying one that doesn't care about the disc art, let me know. I'll sell the unopened Daily Planet Best Buy shirt with it.

[WellingFan]

My region 1 copy has arrived at a relatives, looking forward to getting it!:cool:

[WellingFan]

Got my copy of Season 10, was thrilled when I sat it on the shelf with the others, my collection is now complete!

[TheSecretVampire]

I had seasons 1-9 on DVD, but when I found out there was going to be a complete series collection, I knew I had to buy that! So, I sold seasons 1-9 and ended up buying the complete series set. I have no regrets and absolutely love it! I'm currently on the last quarter of season 7. Oh, I got mine from Best Buy with the Clark Kent action figure.:p

Okay, random question, but is anyone else besides me annoyed that Oliver is on the back of the inside of the case for season 6 and not Clark? Clark has been on every case but season 6, why? It bugs me. Why Green Arrow when the show is about how Clark Kent became Superman?

[Clark/Lois-fan]

^^ I'm not sure I understand your question... sorry :(

But I have one for those who have purchased the complete series region 2:

Is there an episode guide book ?

[DJ Doena]

Not in the UK package. Just the regular season discs in one standard amaray per season.

[Clark/Lois-fan]

Thanks. What about the introduction with "Somebody Save Me" ? Is that included in all the seasons, or does it just go straight to the menu? :)

[Genny]

^^ I'm not sure I understand your question... sorry :(

It wasn't really a question, just more me wondering if anyone else found it a little odd that season 6 had Green Arrow on the back of the boxset when every other season had Clark. The show is about Clark's journey to becoming Superman.

[Clark/Lois-fan]

Ahh now I understand :)

Yes it bothered me because as you said: The show is about Clark's journey to becoming Superman, and the last thing I wanted to see was GA's picture. The big picture of all them walking away from the explosion is awesome- but they shouldn't have been a picture of GA alone.

[Genny]

I know, I love the picture they included from Justice but the alone pic of GA... it kind of implied that that season was about Green Arrow, and it's the only season that doesn't have Clark on the back. WTH.

[Clark/Lois-fan]

Yeah, it is a WTH reaction. TPTB just favored GA alot I guess since even Lex didn't have one...

Not really. I thought it was cool to see someone other than Clark in that section.

[Clark/Lois-fan]

Is it hard for you people to get the discs out from the complete series region 1?

:)

[TheSecretVampire]

Is it hard for you people to get the discs out from the complete series region 1?

:)


Yeah. I have to pull and tug just a bit to get them out, also making sure not to scratch the discs.

[WallofWeird]

That's too bad. I was thinking of getting the Complete Series but the way the discs are packaged totally turns me off. Has anyone heard of someone's discs getting scratched and not working?

[Genny]

Yeah. I have to pull and tug just a bit to get them out, also making sure not to scratch the discs.

That sucks... I want to get the complete set, I don't understand why they package things in odd ways. Obviously people don't want their discs getting scratched while taking them out...

[smokedkill]

Its a pain in the butt to get the DVDs out. I've already had to clean one off from having to tug on it. Wonder if they are willing to.replace any scratched CDs because it won't be the users fault they packed them in so tight.

[RightWingConspirator]

What I do with DVDs is put them in those white sleeves you can buy almost anywhere. If there's no hole in the middle, make one. You can put them in the case and not worry about scratches.

[brinehog]

Is anyone else having a hard time finding the commentary for Red with Tom, Kristen, and Michael in the complete series DVD set? There are supposed to be 2 commentaries, but I could only find the one by the writers and producers!

[Clark/Lois-fan]

Yeah. I have to pull and tug just a bit to get them out, also making sure not to scratch the discs.

Well that's a big turn off for me, since I was planning on buying the complete series on region 1. Ugh!

[WallofWeird]

I know, the whole disc arrangement is a huge turn-off, but it's still hard to keep my eyes off of wanting it. I saw the set at Wal-Mart the other day, and oh my gosh it's gorgeous!

[TheSecretVampire]

That sucks... I want to get the complete set, I don't understand why they package things in odd ways. Obviously people don't want their discs getting scratched while taking them out...


But, I do love the storybook concept of it. Minus the the disc pockets, the whole set is beautiful.

This is not Green Arrow...it's Clark in the GA costume...the pic is from HYDRO where Clark wore the costume so they can throw Lois off from discovering Oliver is the GA....;)

I cant keep my eyes off it too...it's been two months now but still....anyway about the DVD scratching thing I dont get it...mine get out quite easily....and I have not seen a scratch yet....
As soon as I got this I began watching the DVDs immediately from the very beggining...two months later....today JUSTICE! :D
