The X-Files: The Ultimate Collection
Reviews:

starsBest purchase for the frugal X-phile
This is the best purchase I've ever made, and I saved a lot of money buying the seasons in this format rather than spending hundreds on individual seasons. This includes all the episodes, tons of bonus features, as well as the Fight The Future movie, a movie poster, and an episode booklet guide. The DVDs are of great quality and the case they come in is strong and built to last. One little glitch is the drawer that pulls out to get to the episode guide. It's tought to pull out, but I find that if you lay the box habitually on its side, this is not a problem. I highly recomend this set.


starsLove the X-Files and this box set!



starsGreat
I just got mine today and I love it. The box is in excellent condition. No dings or dents or mashed in corners. The drawer opens fine. I love this box set. Could not ask for a better way to package a series. If you love the X-Files I highly recomend this product. Have you ordered it yet? Why Not!!!!!!!!!!


starsInteresting Series, but Quality Control Is a Problem
My main claim with the X-Lime on DVD, or for that matter with many of the series of the TV using this disposition, is quality control. I have had to give back the X-Lime regulated because my player of thousand dollars DVD has had difficulty that reads some of discs. That has been a problem of resource every so often with inscatolati others insiemi from Amazon. It is nearly like if the customers they are chiedendi to lead the quality control. Shelters I pray this problem, since it maintains it from the purchase of the other series of the TV on DVD.


starsWonderful X Set
I looked at similar sets in the stores and this was the best deal I found. I am very happy with this set. You must be an X-File nut like I am to buy the whole 9 seasons, so take it from a fellow X nut. You will not be disappointed. The box was very well built and thought out. The top opens up and closes with an invisible magnetic closer at the base. I love this set!


starsMy daughter loves them
My daughter is an x-files "nut" and has me watching them every now and then. No commercials, lots of extra features with the interviews, writer/director comments, etc., which she loves.

The only negative is the box came damaged with the lower "drawer" stuck due to the internal support being torn, probably due to the box being roughly handled during processing or shipping.


stars#1 Box set
Until this year, I did not know I liked the x-files. I got this set and have been watching one or more episodes a day! Amazon got the set to me within a week from ordering, even using the super saver shipping. I recommend this show for anyone who enjoys fantasy and sci-fi or even just drama and comedy. By far the best collection of DVD's and extras around!


starsBest Sci-Fi for DVD watching
I have been watching this show since the first episode. Until I got the box set, I had to wait for SciFi channel X-Files days or TNT eps on Mondays. Having the box set is the best thing to have for me, because I can load a whole season into my machine and watch as long as I want.


starsgreat customer service~!
The time and time responce of the ariund of turn were excellent. GREAT JOB! CUSTOMER BETTER SEREVICE That I HAVE HAD On the FOTORICETTORE!


starsGreat Product, Sub-Par Box
I will start with the one con:

As stated in so many other reviews, the box that the set comes in will have problems with the drawer. This, however, appears to be due to an inferior design and nothing that Amazon.com or the USPS has done.

The pros:

It is exactly what it claims to be. The packaging of the individual seasons is very nice, and the episode guide is very nice.

There really isn't much more to say. If you are a X-Files fan and want th entire series, this is the way to go. All of the material for a fraction of the cost. And if all that is wrong is a little drawer...

One last note, I really wish there was a "Play All" feature. This was missing on the original and slim pack releases, also.


stars10 Stars **********
If you are the ultimate X-Files fan you need this Ultimate Collection. I happened to get an amazing Amazon price but its worth any price to have everything X-Files in this terrific box!


starsX FILES RULES !!!!
The X files is an amazing show. I bought this boxed set and im in the middle of watching season 5. but i gave it only 4 stars cuz the box arrived damaged. The outside of the box looked great but the drawer wouldnt pull out so i looked inside and found that the cardboard shelf holding the dvds above the drawer had sunken in. so i had to take it all out and duct tape the shelf up so that i can access whats in the drawer. I didnt want to return it cuz i was afraid i would get one back that was in worse shape than the one i got. so i fixed it and kept it cuz i also couldnt wait to watch. I LOVE YOU MULDER !!!!!!


starsExcellent Product
I have had long I have wished to have the complete series on DVD but I could not alone allow the purchase of the various seasons. With the release of the seasons and the complete film in one scato comprised it, to a discounted price, I could not pass it in on. Im that it is worked with the series and it is like good, or better than they are remembered to me of. Relative an excellent sense to obtain waits for for the imminent film of x-files 2!


starsGreat TV series
This with of the box it is large except one BOX of what... THE!! The DVD (61) of they, weigh more than the box it it can outside support and the envelopes of the inferior part. I have ordered and has revealed cancelled, so as to I have transmitted it behind and I have obtained an other one. That one following arrived in the figure the much best one, but still has had secondary tear of the cardboard to the inferior part of the box it.


starsThe Ultimate X-Files Collection
For the fans of the exposure of the television of the X-Lime, this is the last accumulation. It comes with every exposure never made, completes with the dates that have been ventilated, the producer, the director and one short sinossi. The packing is organized much good - it is like having your own library of the X-Lime. In order to conclude, copy of the film in order to exceed it all outside is one. In a generalized manner, it is the much buyable one to buy this box regulated fantastic it that to buy exclusively every season. It is the perfect sense affinchè the fans of on-again/off-again dawns with the final seasons, also. After that Duchovny has its hiatus, there is calm abundance of gems to watch.


starsbest purchase ever!!!
I loved the X-files when it was in air; and I've been wanting the X-files seasonal DVDs since they were first being released. I never bought any of them though, $80 a season was a little steep (much to my husband's dismay). Then, the slim sets started coming out and I was excited and that is what I originally intended to buy, until I saw this beautiful box set!!! I purchased this during an amazon promotional sale on TV shows, etc...so I got this box set for about half price, HOW COULD I PASS IT UP!!!

This includes all 201 episodes of the X-files, packaged really well in my opinion, with the exception of I hate sliding DVDs into pockets of any sort...it scuffs the disc, and the seasonal folders are a series of cardboard pockets. My husband has relocated all of the DVDs into round slim cases that he thinks will still fit into the box, which leaves him free to use the original season boxes to use as decor.

This set also includes the movie along with tons of deleted scenes, featurettes, etc...It is just wonderful!!! The picture quality and everything is perfect and appears that everything is in order. There is a book with a listing for every episode, which is an excellent reference if you're the type that is constantly strapped for time but can't stop watching...you can always check to see if you're getting into a 2-parter episode which is really helpful...I have a hard time walking away in the middle of a story.

Overall I will NEVER be sorry for purchasing this and I will always feel really lucky to have caught it during such an excellent promotion. I couldn't have gotten a better deal!!!


starsNot too shabby!
Arrived quickly. Conditions the description of the box it in if not completely exact, but the important part of with of the box it (all the discs) is in the state of operation and without scratches that are really all those arguments! Thanks!


starsCan't beat this price for an amazing show
I have enjoyed every minute of the X-files. If your a fan and do not already own the series this is a must buy.


starsGreat Buy
I could only see a brace of the seasons of the x-files when originally it has ventilated on the TV but it has been transformata in in one of my exposures of favorite TV. Hour years more subsequently I can see the episodes I have seen and still more amusing it is seeing that those I have lacked. The box it is organized much good with all and the nine seasons more than the featuretes, the film of FTF and a guide of episode sluices to key to discs from every season.


starsFragile box
I have received my box I have regulated it one heads breaked. All the angles have been tear to you, the inclundes small of tha of the drawer a manifesto and a sure booklet not oped proprely. It is sure that Amazon transmits it proprely has packed. Since they are in Canada I have not given back it.


starsX-Files Ultimate Edition Box Set
Holy cow! This is it, the definative X-Files collection. Some have stated some packaging issues and damage with shipping but it looks like I got mine in perfect condition. High quality and tons of extras,I got mine for under 170 dollars, great deal for this massive set!


starsThe X-Files
I had never watched The X-Files on television for some reason but a friend recommended it to me so I ordered the set based on his recommendation. I love this series and it's so nice to be able to watch the entire episodes without being interrupted by commercial breaks. I highly recommend this set to anyone interested in science fiction and conspiracy. Jerry from Oregon.


starsHappy patron
Product arrive in a timely manner, and in perfect condition. I wasn't that big of a X-File fan before but I am now. I'm enjoying the dvds immensely, especially viewing the series in chronological order. I would have enjoyed more commentary from the directors, writers and actors though. I'm very satisfied with the produce and the ease of ordering from Amazon.


starsAwesome
I can't tell you how long I have waited to buy The X Files on DVD. When they first started being released, the price per season was more then my X Files obsessed mind could deal with. I waited five years for a cheaper way to buy The X Files on DVD so I could get rid of my VHS collection, and here it is! I am glad I bought it last week when it was 50% off now that I see the price went back up again! If you have been waiting for the perfect time to buy, I would buy now. With the movie coming out this summer, I imagine the price will go up some more.

The packaging is wonderful for me. I know there has been some comments about it's design, but I have found nothing wrong with it. To have such a rich show given to you in one case is a godsend. Much better then buying all of the original season's one at a time in their big box sets! Saves room in your entertainment center too!

The extra material is wonderful to watch! The only thing I found missing are the gag reels! :) But you can find those online.

If you've been waiting, you should buy it now! What a difference a week makes in pricing!

P.S. - The only downside was when I watched "Patient X" and "The Red and The Black" last night, I was reminded of how much of a jerk Mulder was during those episodes. But he ended on a good note! :-)

Cheers XPhilers!


starsa great DVD giftset and package overall
the boxset is really great. the discs are in small and creatively made books for each season and the books and other extra materials are in a drawer underneath the discs. the box was partially damaged in shipment but nothing that affects the product itself.


starstimely
I have enjoyed the x-files in the beginning years 90 and it more saws it of the episodes during the first three seasons. But soon after, they are transformato to me in increasing occupied raising my children. I have bought box- I have regulated Been born them excessive and I am watching one brace of the episodes hardly approximately every evening for the last month. After 14 years, it is like seeing the episodes for before the time. Hour I am only catching up the third season. It is going to be necessary much time before that it exausts the new episodes! For $200 this is an excellent source of entertainment for those of we that they have enjoyed before turns the series around therefore like for to that ski-ski-fi tries the interesting television.


starsNot worth it
I have bought this product that I hope of being able to watch through it all. In the first place of all because of the weight of the CD that has crossed the box it in the scompartimento under that one holds the episode guide etc etc. That has induced the scompartimento to remain embedded and you could not obtain them outside. While I have begun to watch the first season some episodes have jumped a small, the benchè just I was sent indovinasse that I can take care itself of it. But to enter in the second season some episodes has begun to jump the alot and some CD have not indicated hardly altogether. Because of this I have controlled with all the CD and have found they many comepletely to scratch. The beleive this has introduced because of the defective packing that the CD enter. They do not come in the cases of the jewel. They come in this support of the Cd of the cardboard that holds all the CD. I suggest the season of purchase within the season in the normal cases of DVD that.


starsGreat product, great value
That has it all for the fans of the X-Lime. Every season, the film and supplements on the disc and other. Excellent quality of image everywhere. Price better by far (control towards the outside dvdpricesearch.com for the comparison that currency). It is informed, also, that you can use certifys you of gift of the bookstore of the edges on the books and the dvds on Amazon. Excellent service of the Amazon like of customary. I have not had problem with the drawer that sinks like other marked one. Only negations: (1) the books that the dvds hold have small leaks on the external part... that not a sure species of material is the covering much strait that is fallen apart easy and (2) no high def available.


starsBest television series of all time!
I love the X-Files and have been waiting a long time for a collection like this! I watched the show religiously and absolutely could not wait to reexperience my favorite television series again!

This collection has everything that the true fan would not want to live without! It contains a whopping 61 DVD discs including all 9 seasons, the movie and special features not found on the recent slim-design collections! It even has a drawer to keep all of the extras such as a comic book from the first season, art cards, an official poster of the show and a 60 page booklet containing all of the episodes and synopses! This collection is worth every penny, especially now at half price found here on Amazon!

You will not be disappointed and I highly recommend this collection to anyone who loves the X-Files! If you are a fan of this show and are looking into purchasing the DVDs, consider this option greatly as it far exceeds expectations!


starsGreat content, crappy packaging
The real series, film and supplements are fantastic but anyone has planned the box it would have to be struck the dead women.


starsThe truth is right here.
Though the packaging leaves much to be desired (mine was a bit damaged from traveling so far with the massive amount of dvd goodness inside, but nothing a good old exacto knife couldn't fix), this is well worth buying. If you are a newcomer to the show or just someone who can afford to buy a new set of X-files dvds, I'd highly recommend this. I discovered the magic of Mulder n' Scully not long ago and saved up for this... it's amazing. The supplied episode guide is well organized and complete; the artwork is pretty cool esp. on the discs themselves; and there are tons of fun extras/bonus features on the discs. It's a whole lot cheaper than buying all the seasons, and actually alot more compact than most dvd sets out there.


starsGreat value
Excellent for any X-Files fan. The package is very good, the contents, specially the episode guide booklet, is perfect. This collection is worth around $330 in every store I've seen so far, get it here for a better price.


starsGood package
I bought this set for a gift to my husband, and he loves it. All the seasons and the movie are in the box, I think is terrific and the price is very fair, since each season cost almost $100 if you buy it individual.

starsHeartbreaking, cowardly, traitorous, and completely myopic....
The last two seasons of The X-Files are nothing short of heartbreaking, cowardly, traitorous, and completely myopic in my opinion, and I'm quite sure in the opinions of many others who were loyal fans of this series for 9 long years. In an attempt to make an extra buck, Chris Carter and his corporate goonba accomplices sacrificed content and continuity for series longevity, and in the end succeeded in tarnishing a one-of-a-kind program.

I would love to know what kind of rationale was in play when those in charge decided to kill off some of the most important characters, thereby severing story lines, plots, and important character interdependencies that had been cultivated from the beginning. The Lone Gunmen, C.G.B. Spender (Cigarette Smoking Man), Krycek, and The Syndicate (to name a few) formed an impossible-to-replace group of characters, and I lost all respect for the show when these characters were eliminated and nothing of substance was created to take their place.

Carter should have called it quits when Duchovny left, but no. What we have instead are two additional seasons that are total monstrosities and an insult to viewers who placed emotional stock in this show and its characters. Carter obviously had zero loyalty to the program's fans, otherwise he would never have made such a callous decision to ruin this show's legacy by tampering so radically with the storyline. What was left after the deed was done? Absolutely nothing.

The series finale was perhaps the biggest disappointment in programming history. From the very first episode, the series revolved around an extraterrestrial storyline, and what did we get at the end and in return for all of our years of loyal viewing? We get Mulder and Scully sitting in a hotel room, reminiscing about old times, not knowing where to go or what to do next. And to top it all off, Carter always promised he would never entangle Mulder and Scully in any type of sexual intrigue, and what did he do during the last two seasons? You guessed it.

It's been a long time since this series went off the air, but the greed and selfishness surrounding the production of the last two seasons, and in particular the last season, still resonates because this series did mean alot to so many people, myself included. Chris Carter is set for life, but he has lost my respect. He and his retinue's opportunism makes me sick....



starsContented X Files fan.



starsThe X Files-Ultimate Collection



starsAn X-Phile's Dream made reality
What a collection! Every episode from all 9 seasons, plus all the bonus material featured on the original releases, the documentary on the Mythology episodes, and if that were not enough, the movie X-Files: Fight the Future is included to make this the only all inclusive collection to date. Also included is the poster from the movie, concept art collectors cards, a mini graphic novel, and the booklet which not only lists what episodes are on each disc, but also lists the date each episode was originally aired on TV.
The only thing that could possibly make this collection any better is if it came with an erlenmeyer flask, E.B.E included. The Truth is Out There, Trust No One, but trust that this is a must have for X-Philes everywhere.



starsGreat value!
Great for people who don't yet have the individual seasons. Much less expensive than buying them seperately, plus you get the bonus of the movie! Highly recommended for those looking to have the whole collection.


starsFive star show...beware of packaging and price.
The show needs no comment other than it is fantastic, essential, viewing. However, I am very disappointed in the packaging. It is poorly conceived, and even more poorly executed. The drawer holding the printed material is jammed and split, and the interior of the box that holds the DVD's is ripped all along one side. All of this was undetectable when the product was received, as the box comes factory shrinkwrapped, and the drawer is covered by a fold-over front flap. Other reviewers have clearly had the same issues, which, as has been said, are unacceptable for a set costing as much as this one does.

In respect of the price, I paid $230 before Christmas, only to find that it is now $165! I appreciate Amazon agreeing to replace the set for me due to the damage, but the price drop does rankle somewhat. Amazon customer service flat out could not explain to me their pricing policy, so I guess all I can do is suck it up, and hope for the best with the packaging of the replacement set.


starsExcellent.!!! I 'm very happy with this great set.
Excellent. the lime of x in order always they will be the better thing. If you are a fan of this series, you have this accumulation. It is the better thing. And the transport to my country (vzla) is fast and safe.


starsAll this is missing is a small vial with a bizarre chip inside.
This is one of the best shows ever made. Now having all 9 seasons to go through at will now is surly a good thing. I hear a new film is coming soon. Fingers crossed everyone.

The box set seems fine to me and any problems people mentioned in earlier posts seem to have been addressed. The section the DVDs rests on is now thick cardboard. Apparently earlier sets had only thin paper there. I am sure anyone who has that problem can easily solve it with some cardboard and elmers glue. It stinks when things come damaged but sometimes a home remedy fix it can be very satisfying. Someone should make a custom set that sits in a cool wood or metal box with a small blinking light and a hidden compartment with a glass vial with a bizarre chip inside.

I will now watch "The host" one of my favorite episodes.


starsWorth the Wait
I got the first season of "X-Files" on DVD years ago and then decided to wait on the rest, hoping for a set like this one. It was worth the wait. I am now looking forward to watching every episode in order and enjoying the many bonus features.

Like most of the other reviewers here, I had the same problem with the drawer being jammed. To save myself grief everytime I wanted to look at the episode guide, I decided to leave the drawer out and just keep the printed materials in the slot without it. Yes, the box should have been built sturdier, but it doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the set.

Except for the drawer problem, I like the packaging. Each season comes in a different colored compact book and you can access the disks easily (so much better than the clunky original season 1 packaging which had endless flaps to open to get to each disk). I love lifting the lid of the case and seeing all the seasons lined up in a row. The graphics on the outer box and the season books are cool and capture the feel of the show.

If you are an X-phile, this set gives you everything you need to relive the fun of the series. Enjoy.


starsGreat collection, poorly assembled
This entirety is large; it includes all and the nine seasons and the film. There are secondary things approximately the sense that the accumulation is joined that it does not render it happy. Negations: the box it that they live within comes bruised and the drawer that is on the inferior part cannot be extracted. I have had to use a blade in order to recall the guide of episode and other information that have been memorizzate in the drawer. That is not a great transaction, but the design of this is really dumb single. The other thing that I do not take care myself for is the sense that the DVDs is organized. They are not in a traditional case of DVD; they are smaller and more to E layers therefore other DVD cannot be stored with mine. They must be maintained in the box it dumb the disc will slip outside to the contrary that of their envelopes. Positives: This series was still and is impressive. This accumulation is good worthy the moneies and perfects for giving like gift because the accumulation is maintained in relative own scato it small.


starsX-Files fans....
Nothing of special, but if you are like me (who has possessed a sets)and of 2 seasons has wished more... Well, I it has spold the years on the And-bay and others that try the season more little expensive are regulated, always wondering why not there were insiemi complete of good freed series... This is worthy it, presupposing that you are a fan of the X-Lime. I can only speak for me, but I do not take care myself for the special characteristics, ndemnity, etc, the X-Lime (particularly the first several years) I speak for if same. With the second film contamination of the X-Lime hour, this is large adding to anyone accumulation, interested to this type of UFO of exposure... no, paranormal, etc.....well be necessary written sideboard, exposure involved and great.....Thank you, Chris Carter, Gillian Anderson (one of the women well who beautifulr I have never seen) and David Duchovny... in order not to point out the you of Bandit... will not only be dissapointed.


starsx-files ultimate collection
Box looked good until shrink wrap removed. Found case torn inside and around drawer ends. Unable to open drawer. Some DVD holders looked worn too.

Amazon sent a replacement. The replacement is in worse condition, with the box itself torn and the inside base jammed into the drawer.

Spent about 4 hours on the phone with Amazon off shore customer service (several calls) and tried e-mail too. E-mail replies came from off shore too and were not responsive to my questions.




starsGreat set
I have been a fan of "The X-Files" since the pilot episode first aired back in 1993 and can't wait for the second movie to finally come out next year. However, I waited on buying the original release DVD sets for a collector's set such as this to come out. I was not disappointed! This set, beautifully packaged together in an efficiently sized box, includes all nine seasons of the show (including all the extras from the original sets), the movie, and a bonus dvd that includes the four "Threads of the Mythology" documentaries from the mytharc-only DVD sets. Additionally, the set includes a handy episode guide, an original "Fight the Future" movie poster, one of the comic books, and 12 illustrated pieces that came with the original VHS sets. Oh, and it was only $230! That's way less than if I had bought each season as they came out originally. Overall, this is a great set for any "X-Phile" that shouldn't be missed.


starsTHE BEST T.V SHOW IN A BOX ....AND THE MOVIE.
IN END It is IN MY HANDS EVERY SINGLE EPISODE AND the FILM Of the PERSON MUCH HAPPY One Of LIME IM To Of X. The BOX Is MUCH BEAUTIFUL One And the CARDS, The Manifest AND BOOK COMIC WOULD MAKE EVERY FAN SORRIDERE AND MOREOVER a GUIDE Of HELPFULL Of EVERY EPISODE AND In WHICH CD And SEASON CONTAINS VERY YOUR SEARCH A LOT A LOT Of the USEFULL Is the EPISODE. The ART OUTSIDE Of the BOX Is LARGE AND the BENDING DEVICES THAT CONTAIN the CD Are MUCH PLEASANT BUT IM LITTLE INTERESTED THAT IT WOULD SCRATCH the CD (LEAVES the HOPE NOT) IF ALREADY YOU DO NOT HAVE ALL the SEASONS and YOURS a BUY of the FAN IT HOUR that TASK Is a REASONABLE PRICE and PEOPLE Is NEVER the LIME of X the BETTER EXPOSURE of T.V (with the xena) FOR ME HOWEVER. IT BUYS IT HOUR Is A GREATER PART FOR ALL The FAN.


stars1 star for the DVD case and 4 stars for the actual DVDs.
The box it or the case that lodges this with of DVD is planned badly. Someone should' ve has thought more best this thing with a small for $250. When this package has arrived from Amazon, the box external it of transport was in the large figure however that the real case of DVD was not. The drawer on the box it that the program guide contains, on the cards and comic not would open because the weight of the DVD had crossed and hour was being based in the drawer pure. I become account that in effects we are buying this for the ignited DVD but, relative a design horrible. It reinforces at least the thin layer of the cardboard that separates the drawer situated on the lower face of the case from the real space of DVD situated over it. The package can have fallen during the shipment but it has seemed to be in the large figure. As far as the real DVDs, mine only claim is that I have wished that the healthy quality could be improved on. He would be pleasant to have the episodes in 5.1 or to improve. Except that one, relative the great possession all the episodes in one single collection.


starsgreat set at a great price, but box damaged easily
Awesome set at an awesome price but whoever designed the box did not take into account the heaviness of 61 dvds- the bottom becomes dislodged and traps the drawer underneath (as mine did during shipping). Other than that it is a great set and I'm looking forward to 9000+ minutes of bliss!

LDR


starsExcellent, but...
I was one of the few who held out on buying the individual seasonal box sets, mostly due to the price. After I'd placed an order for the first season slim set, I found out this complete collector's edition was coming out and, for the price, I couldn't refuse.

Here's how it went:

The box arrived this morning via DHL Next Day service, and the shipping box was opened when it arrived, although the tape hadn't been broken. The DHL delivery man suggested I inspect the package before he left to ensure there weren't any problems, and indeed the actual product was not damaged. I was relieved.

The product itself has a flip open cover which is magnetically sealed to the base. To open it, you flip the cover up and then fold it back behind the box, which reveals the DVDs. This cover came unglued almost immediately, however I suspect that is due to being in the cold in the back of the delivery truck for so long (I live in Wisconsin, and it hasn't been much warmer than the mid-40's for quite some time). The box is still structurally sound, and is not falling apart by any means, it's just that the cover folds ALL the way back now, instead of just partially. I suspect I'll be able to reglue this on my own.

The individual sets are NOT in slim cases, like the slim set re-releases are. They are in cardboard containers, like little booklets, with 2 DVDs to each "page". They are held in place by cardboard "sleeves". Unfortunately, I have noticed that some of the disks are scratched, though the scratches are small and about the width of a human hair. I have not yet encountered any difficulties with playback, however I am only on the third disk of the second season yet, and this was the first one I noticed to have any damage whatever.

One of the cardboard containers, the last one housing the 9th season set of DVDs, came unglued from its housing, however I would also attribute this to being in the cold for so long. I am also confidant I can fix this myself.

There is a drawer set into the base of the box, just above the magnet, which holds the episode guide booklet, a series of cards relating to first season, the comic book, and the poster, which is of the X-Files movie.

So far, I have absolutely NO complaints about the box, despite the damage. I've heard of similar problems with the Alias box set and some others, but I do not think this should dissuade anyone from purchasing it. As I said, I have not yet encountered any problems with playback, and none of the disks I have yet inspected have had any damage more severe than you would find on the average rental DVD.

My advice? If you can afford it, pay for the 1-day shipping. This way, you ensure your box is handled by fewer people, and thus it should arrive in better condition.

Again, I highly recommend this product to any fan of the series who has not yet purchased the individual sets. This is what you've been waiting for. If you're worried about the quality of the box, remember that Amazon has an exemplary product return system. Don't miss out on this.


starsGreat set for a great price, if you don't already have it...
As some of the other reviews have declared, according to listed satisfying on the Web site, there is nothing to report here if you already have various insiemi of series of DVD and films on DVD. However, if you do not have them, this is a great price for all. Been basically obtaining the entire series in order around at the price of half in contrast with the purchase of the every entirety individually. Moreover, indovinando that the reason vixen has freed this entirety hour had to produce the yield for the new film of X-Lime 2 that begins the contamination in December, than naturally, cannot attend in order to see:) Finally I will conclude on the selezionamento of the this box installed it when I obtain with the cash. Currently I have the mythology accumulation that is not "superfluous" poichè people has declared. However, if fairies this to regulate itself scato it, really you do not have need obviously finchè of the mythology accumulation you know which episodes make part of mythology.


starsThe Truth is All Here
This entirety is large for the fans of the series, but it is watched from here is NOTHING TO REPORT HERE AT ALL. The entirety joins all and nine that seasons(which it has been freed previously one to the Time), the film fight the Future(which moreover has been already freed) and some extras(released in the insiemi of mythology). That what makes this with large is that you have all in one scato it, more you obtains the film. If you already have the seasons and the film in the disposition it originates them here is nothing to report except the box it in which the seasons here they come and the fact that you obtain all it to a blow. With this entirety you can alleviate then the entire series an episode or can choose which episodes to watch. Moreover you obtain one scato observing it cold with this together.


starsFinally
I have known that there was a reason to attend in order to buy all the dvds of the xf. I have years hesitates to you and the years of surplus that buys a season, even hoping this treatment were in the systems... finally that the ended wait.


starsMulder & Scully Are Great Together
Since most of what's on TV lately is useless garbage, I can still sit down and relax with Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Together they make one of the best teams I've seen on tell-a-vision.

So if you're thinking of cancelling cable, maybe this reasonably priced boxed set would be a great self-christmas gift. Something you could enjoy over and over too.

starsBeware Amazon Marketplace sellers for this product!
I have ordered the x-files complete regulated from a vendor of the market of the Amazon (a commerce to you separated from Amazon, but to sell used and from reduction in price articles through Amazon). I have received a little expensive Chinese I strike - outside the entirety that was the lottery more pathetic than DVDs that I have never seen -- several disc that they lack altogether, a disc seemed burnt and was disc unplayable and badly it scratches, breaked established case inscatolata, bags to you tears you of storage of DVD that launch the sprues on nearly all the ship-boys of the disc. If the price too much seems good to be to align, your suspiciones probably are corrected. The buyer watches itself gives!


starsGreat For Someone Who Doesn't Have It Already
To the beginning of this year I have decided finally to see that what the X-Lime is all approximately and has fallen in the love with the first two seasons. They have gone for insiemi thin the more little expensive of the dollar of the package rather than releases originates them that they were of 80 dollars. However with the insiemi thin of the package of you have not been given is some of the additional characteristics. However once that you felt the announcement of with suit of originates them more the film and of the supplements from the insiemi of mythology I have decided to renounce to the purchase to of the thin others insiemi of the package and to the just purchase the complete accumulation. The entirety has everyone of the nine seasons, the fight the future and threads of the disc of mythology with four featurettes. Every real season comes with the characteristics of ndemnities that have been freed on the insiemi more originate them of the X-Lime that they include the cancelled scenes, the points of the TV, the comments, the documentaries and for every specific season. I say that if you are an enormous fan of the X-Lime or wished to complete your accumulation of the X-Lime this is to must buy.


starsHere we go again...
This product, according to Fox, gathers together all nine seasons, the film, and the Mythology Threads featurettes off the Mythology collections. The nine seasons are thankfully in the original release format, with all special features included. The feature film appears to have the same contents as the current DVD release as well. As for the featurettes, they appear on a disc of their own.

For a box set this big (61 discs), it's priced fairly reasonably as opposed to the 9-season collection that can be found elsewhere on Amazon. However, Fox needs to make sure this is the last time they re-dip the series; maybe they should release it on Blu-Ray to make the HD fanboys happy.

Be warned: if you bought the initial season-by-season releases (not the slimpaks) and the movie separately, there's nothing new here. The featurettes on the last disc are also nothing new, as they appeared on the pointless Mythology arc sets that were released on DVD a while back. However, for anyone new to the series or anyone who's been hesitating to buy the series on DVD, this is a great pickup for its price.

5 stars for the series, 3.5 stars for this set.
