The Complete Thirteenth Season DVD Collector's Edition: The Official Thread

[bartyboy]

is anyone here going to comicon and planning on picking this up?

No

[Capt Hammer]

Was the Australian release date mentioned? Can't remember if it was or not: 22nd September.

Sorry if it's been posted.

[The Wiggs]

I'm hoping that there'll be some pictures of the set somewhere on the internet tomorrow seeing as how I don't think anyone here is going to Comic-Con....

[Orange Harrison]

I'll be going. I'll (probably) have a copy by Saturday.

[The Wiggs]

^ Excellent

[Orange Harrison]

More pictures later

[Captain Squid]

^ Awesome! Looking forward to them!

[Dark Homer]

i'm intrigued by pixel simpsons

[The Wiggs]

Very nice. Can't wait for more pictures later!

[Orange Harrison]

OKAY, SEASON 13 IS HERE.

Box/head piece


Back side


So yes it is, obviously, the arcade theme that we were speculating. Each DVD slot is a different character at a game machine.



Panoramic artwork on the other side of the accordion (excuse my choppy editing)



The "pixel Simpsons" you were intrigued about are on the discs.


Also the first couple commentaries are nothing but Mike Scully making fun of Al Jean

[The Wiggs]

I'd say it all looks pretty cool. I love the pixelated discs. Thanks for all the pictures Orange Harrison!

[Dark Homer]

haha they used the sprites from the simpsons arcade game

Groening's in on quite a few commentaries here. I like it.

[Capt Hammer]

Holy Shit, dude! Thanks so much.

They always go all out for the artwork, it looks awesome. Matt Groening's on a bunch of the commentaries too which is cool, though how much more can he contribute? I'm not sure how many commentaries you've listened too but did he say much on any of the ones he participates in?

Cool disc art too.

[Tyler]

Thank you so much! Dare I say this is my favorite Simpsons DVD layout in quite some time!

I love the Pixel Simpsons! And Bart's blue shirt (from the original arcade game). I can't wait to pick this up in a month, this was the season where I began watching so re-viewing some of these without commercials, a bad signal, the FOX logo, and with audio commentaries will certainly be a treat! Once again, thank you for the pics!

[Dehumanizer]

Very nice designs both on the discs and on the inside box. Still dislike the fact that Ralph is on the cover, but no big deal. After seeing all this, I am definitely looking forward to season thirteen more than I was previously. Thanks for posting those pictures and info!

[Fletchy]

Very excited now about the commentaries especially since we'll hear Pamela Hayden for the first time and I can't wait for the return of Jon Vitti and WOW, Mike Reiss is back!! I thought he'd swore he wasn't going to do any more commentaries but hey, I'm not complaining!

[Bella Drape 'er]

^
we've got used to it

and accepted that the design will change in season 16, if they're following the 5 season rota of course...

[Charlie]

Nah that doesn't really make sense if they've used it for the Season 20 release earlier in the year.

Also, OH, did you happen to see any copies of the blu-ray edition? Is it a proper box or does it just use a horrible cheap plastic cover like S20?

[Bella Drape 'er]

Nah that doesn't really make sense if they've used it for the Season 20 release earlier in the year.

Well techinically that wasn't a complete season, so I don't know if that would count...

[Comicshow MolemanBob]

Wow thanks for the picture sorry to be a nuisance but is there any chance you could take a photo of the booklet

[Charlie]

Was just about to ask the same thing

[Orange Harrison]

Booklet:






And no, I did not notice any Blu-ray boxes, although they might have just looked the same as the regular box.

[Comicshow MolemanBob]

Thanks for that wow that is a great booklet

[poopmannyman]

looks like a great package
but is part of the cover of the booklet transparent? the cover looks almost 3d-y

[Orange Harrison]

No, it's just printed to look like that.

[Ram27]

^This.

And I like the pirated/pixelly art.

[The Wiggs]

Man this set is looking amazing! Some of the best and coolest art of any season set so far! I really can't wait to pick this up in a month.
