Need help - DVD Collection 1

[GooberCollins]

I just received a used copy of DVD Collection 1 (not The Beginning). It's in a significantly bigger case than the rest of my DVD collections, and despite the fact that the seller claimed that all case inserts were included, there is no "card" - should there be a bigger case with no card?

Call MPI via its toll-free number- I'm sure they'll ship you a free copy.

Thanks, but I doubt it, as I didn't buy it from them - I bought it from a third-party seller on Amazon Marketplace.

They may still send you one. You can always ask to buy one from them.

As for the box the first ones are bigger, I think there are about 4 different styles of boxes but I'm not sure without looking.

[GooberCollins]

Thanks, Borgosi, especially about the box information (I was worried it was a bootleg because of the larger box size) but even if it isn't perfect, I'm not returning it, as I got a pretty good deal on it, as well.

But there should have been a card included, shouldn't there? >_> So much for "all inserts included." Still got $10 off Amazon's price.

One of mine was missing a card and I had bought it at Best Buy. I called MPI and told them that I had bought set X and that it didn't have the card. I asked them if I could buy a replacement card. They ask for my address and sent a new card at no cost. So give it a shot, the worst thing they can tell you is no.

[GooberCollins]

Okay, thanks! I may try that tomorrow.

Goober, the first 10 sets came in those bigger boxes, but they've since been re-released in the slimmer boxes. MPI will sell you the slimmer boxes for something like $4.95 apiece if you want your collection to look uniform.

[borgosi]

So I guess one could say that the original boxes are collectables.

[GooberCollins]

Thanks, retzev, but seeing as how we (my mother and I) probably won't be able to afford to buy the whole series, at least not for a while, box uniformity isn't a big concern.
