At first I thought the Krusty face plate was kind of useless, now I wish the other 5 had this style.  It looks kinda cool hanging in my cubicle.  I'd like to have a lot more of em.

There is a standard box, but not what was pictured.  It's the same (minus the UK ratings).  It can be verified by this week's target ad.

Saddlesore Galactica Best....Episode....Ever, also cut to hell. Gallagher says something to Homer when he tosses him out of his show.

That episode made me laugh so hard.

so, did you just sign up here to promote that site? because this is like the 3rd or 4th news article you posted this in. wonder how much they'll make should anyone click it. lol

sweet! Krusty!

I really don't understand people hating the later seasons of 'The Simpsons'... but can actually sit through an entire episode of 'Family Guy'. Now... THAT is a horrible show.

A must for me.  It's probably my all-time favourite show and I'm still a fan even if it's golden days are over.
I'll go for the alternate box over the head case though.

This would be something I would love a digital copy of instead of a movie.  I enjoy watching episodes of South Park on my way to work some nights (half an hour walk) and if I could watch Futurama or The Simpsons on my ipod i think I would be all pumped for work.

The best boxsets are the ones with small plastic slipcases that hold 2 discs, similar to Prison Break, or Futurama, or Family Guy (all Fox)...

It would be a brave boy or girl who would double dip on a Simpson's collection just for the box!

But as Bouncy said, the simpson's shows no sign of stopping yet.
 
I too have all the Season sets and movie so again its a buy for me. I want to hear the commentary for Saddlesore Galactica. I actually prefered the Head boxes, it was easier to get the discs out than the folding set.

I think one of the reasons this is a no brainer buy for me is the extras that never get seen or heard when they broadcast them.  Also, I've noticed that some broadcasters cut a few seconds here and there for advertising and promos.  Also, I'm sucked in now.  Having all 10 seasons and the movie, why stop now?  I've also been there since the beginning when they first appeared on the Tracy Ullman show.  As crude as they were you could see the Groening genius coming through.  I'm also a big Life In Hell fan as well as Akbar and Jeff.  As always I'm looking forward to this release for the collection.  I wonder if there will ever be a complete series box set.  Of course at the rate they are releasing the season sets, DVDs will be extinct.  But, if they ever do a series set, it should definitely look like the Simpson's house with Marge and Homer's cars, Bart's skateboard, Lisa's sax and a collection of pacifiers from Maggie.  The title, Aye Carumba: The Entire Simpson's Series Don't Have a Cow Homer Sized Box Set.

love the show, have seasons 1-10 already...definate buy

I guess at the rate they're releasing these, we'll get to buy them all over again on whatever format replaces blu-ray.

i remember season 11 does have laughs but the first 10 were the golden ages of the simpsons, wonder if season 12 is in december?
Ill still buy the boxsets but 1-10 will always be the re-watchable ones

My roommate just put on a random disc and it had the episode where Sideshow Bob is building a dam...I couldn't believe that was the 8th or 9th season.

Season 11 has some goodness-
Beyond Blunderdome (Homer and Mel Gibson shenanigans)
Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Homer (Homer as a food critic)
E-I-E-I (Annoyed Grunt) - Tomacco, can't believe this isn't from an earlier season
Eight Misbehavin (the octuplets)
Grift of the Magi
Mansion Family (monkey knife fight and box socials)
Pygmoelian

The rest of the episodes still have some laughs in them too.

"Can't sleep, clown will eat me."

There were some real good episodes - Funzo; the one with Parker Posey; the Tap Dance episode - and some episodes I'm not a fan of/loathe - that don't come to mind at this moment - but I'll definitely pick this up just for one special reason: Simpsons Christmas Boogie in 5.1 surround.

Interestingly it doesnt say the complete __th season anymore. Why? Because there is stuff cut out of these episodes!

They actually do use the word "complete" in the alternate box art. I think it was simply a design choice to not use the word on the Krusty packaging. I seriously doubt there was a conspiracy between the graphic designers and Fox to exclude the word because they cut things from the show.

Well Fox US sent it to me, so I'm guessing it's also the artwork for the US release

referring to the homer artwork, not the krusty artwork

Season 10 was the beginning of the end of great Simpsons episodes I still bought it for the last episode Phil Hartman was on.
Without Phil Hartman and a lot of the old writers the show lost a lot of it's heart, I can't remember one episode from Season 11.

Season 4 was the best (with Conan O'Brien on board)
I think owning the first 10 seasons is enough for me, I'll pass.

Finally!!!

just a word of warning, that "non-limited" artwork is the australian artwork, so there is no guarantee that it will be the same for the USA release

I wasn't going to buy any season past 10, but the Crusty head is giving me second thoughts...

yeah i prefer the regular ones too. but from that image, these seem to only be slightly embossed so there might not be a need for two sets of boxes. cant tell for sure without an angle shot but it doesnt seem to stick out too much so it would probably easily fit between the other regular boxes.

but woohoo finally...its almost been a year since they released season 10....think we'll be lucky enough to get season 12 by year's end or early 09?

Woohoo!
