These damaged packaging stories are one of the reasons I always purchase them myself in the shop, I realise that poeple who aren't in the region 2 areas can't do this and it sux. When it came out there were loads of them on the shelfs but most of them had some sort of damage especially on the plastic slip case, probably had bad distrabution, I made sure mine was perfect though. I think that online places need to get their acts together and use decent packaging to protect the contents for all you guys that aren't so lucky.

I'm with you Otis, I always buy in a shop, even then I've had problems, once when I checked to tapes I discovered that they'd put the wrong tape in the box, luckily I hadn't gone home so I could go straight back and get the correct one.

I bought mine from http://bensonsworld.co.uk. (I used to order from Blackstar, but someone turned me onto this place) Good price and they packaged it pretty good. Free international shipping too. They were so friendly and quick, that I preordered SPACED series 2 from them the day Futurama arrived. I went to the thing at the Paley festival and someone asked about the DVD's which they said would come out sometime... later when they had the signings, I had them sign the DVD covers. The first question out of most people's mouths were "Are those bootlegs?" seeming like they were about to be offended. Once I pointed out they were the legit R2 release, they said something along the lines of "Wow! This is what it looks like!" or "I haven't openned mine up. This is cool!" or so on. David Cohen asked me if the commentary track came out ok. It was cool.  (I need to scan in the covers. I had one person sign it and all these random people also signed it, and said things like "I signed this disc because I directed the first Zap Brannigan episode." I have no idea who 1/3rd these signatures are.)

Well, me set's in the post now, should be in me sweaty li'l 'ands before the eighth. I'll let you all know how it comes out--and I'll be careful of the bottom of the box. Cor blimey and all that rot. Knickers. (I've watched every episode of Fawlty Towers and The Young Ones, so I now know everything about England.  ) Sod it all, bleeding cockney git. Eh?

I got mine shipped form amazon.co.uk to australia, and the only damage i got was some faint denting on the leela side of the plastic sleeve. It looked like it was pressed against some metal thatching, or somethin... its only visible in the right light, tho, so im not so worried about it. The bottom seems fine on mine.

Hah. I ordered mine from Blackstar.co.uk and it arrived in perfect condition (although 4 days late). What really makes me glad I bought it online is the fact that it only cost me 34£ (incl. shipping), but I recently found it on a Danish site for roughly 50£. Now that's the kind of math I like doing. Why do DVD's have to be so damn expensive here. Okay, ran offtopic there. I'll stop now, and go watch "Love's Labour lost In Space".
