Stargate SG-1 Complete Seasons 1 - 10 dvd box set

Hello all

This is the box set in question:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stargate-S-G...7902411&sr=8-1

It's sitting on the shelf at home still in its shrink wrap because it is, to all intents and purposes, my Christmas present from my mum (better then a jumper and a pair of socks!) and I won't be opening it until the day. But I've been reading of some issues with it, such as missing episodes (five of them, apparently), incorrect discs included etc and wondered if anyone here has got it and has encountered anything like this?

All a bit worrying but I'm determined, for some strange reason, not to open it until next week...

Where have you heard this from?

Afaik, the discs are just the regular already released versions in new packaging.

That's what I thought

Someone mentioned the missing episodes on the reviews on Play.com:

http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/34762...ctReviews.html

and then someone else asked about it in the reviews on Amazon. Also, on Gateworld I've seen mention of incorrect discs being included (although I think this refers to the region 1 version):

http://forum.gateworld.net/showthrea...t=45968&page=3

It's got me a bit worried so I thought I'd ask. Hopefully it's an isolated incident, or just scaremongering. It might take me months or even years to work through 10 seasons and then find the last disc is incorrect, oslt

Re: Stargate SG-1 Complete Seasons 1 - 10 dvd box set

Incorrect or duplicate discs are sometimes a risk when there are so many discs. Also, some episodes are in a different order on R2 to R1 which may make some people think episodes are missing.

Exclamation Re: Stargate SG-1 Complete Seasons 1 - 10 dvd box set

Hi,

I always check every DVD in a boxed-set, purely because of the numerous problems that can occur.

When you do get to open the set, Willowroolz, first check all the discs to make sure none are physically scratched, and then go through each seperate disc, and make sure that all the episodes are on, and in the correct order, etc! Use an onlne episode guide, like this one here.

I know it will take you about two-to-three hours to do this, but it's better than waiting for six or seven months to go by, and only then to find out that something's wrong.

If the discs aren't all perfect, and as described, then you'll have to sort out an exchange or refund.

Sound advice, many thanks Pooch

This is the first box set of this size that I've bought - I usually get individual seasons of shows. So I will definitely be doing what you advise.

I've printed off the episode guide, too, thanks

Re: Stargate SG-1 Complete Seasons 1 - 10 dvd box set

The only big TV series boxset I have is the X-Files one and that needed to have 4 or 5 discs replaced due to scraths/marks so good luck with your set mate.
