Stargate Rocks
The box arrived in perfect condition. The dvds were all in mint condition, no scratches at all and the dvd folders were easy to manipulate. The only down side is that it is a little hard to see the divides between the seasons.

Packed Full of SG1 and Scratches!
Firstly the series is great if you havent bought the seasons individually by all means try and find the complete series somewhere even cheaper. I got mine brand new for $150 shipped. That being said be prepared to see a LOT of scratched disks. I personally do not beleive it is the packaging. My set arrived with no loose disks and the sleeves that each disk fits into I just cant see scratching up the DVDs badly if at all.
That being said some of the disks were so badly scratched I was pleasantly surprised they booted up in the DVD player. Since I dont know if later on Ill run into a skipping problem as Im going through the seasons Ill go out and by a DVD Dr just in case. The manufacturer should be ashamed , these DVDs look like the were thrashed before being put into these boxes. Perhaps some are rejects from season sets I dont know, but to ask fans to drop 200 or more dollars for no less than 20 scratched disk (as was my case) is pretty balzy. Even if they do play we pay for new we should get new.

Fantastic set, soooooo worth it!
My husband who absolutely detests Sci-fi, has been 'hooked" ! We got him to watch the first episodes with us & he went from criticizing everything to laughing his face off! He always liked MacGyver, even though he was anti gun (my hubby is a card carrying NRA member!) He absolutely loved Richard Dean Anderson's "Jack O'Neill" character with his penchant for
"big hon-kin' guns" He definitely wasn't expecting that! A complete 360 from the MacGyver character, but still with his wry humor & interesting storyline. Now we are awaiting out "intellectual" Air Force daughter to come home for a visit so we can suck her into the "Samantha Carter" character, even I, who detest reruns, enjoy re-watching favorite episodes! We went through the whole 10 season series in about 6 months, the first time!!! From here we bought the Stargate Atlantis series & both SG1 movies, can't get enough of them! Highly recommend Great value, not a dud among them, YEARS of good family viewing, unless you "marathon" them as we did! he-he! My kids are ages 9 to 15, & the consensus was unanimous ..........we all give these a 2 thumbs up! You gotta get them! BTW, some arrived a bit scratched, Amazon replaced them without a blink!! (kudos to Amazon's customer service!) Just LOVE those guys!
(The dvd's that came in the SG1 series, we ended up putting the on a bulk cd spindle to prevent scratching the disks up as that set came in tight cardboard sleeves that rubbed against the disks producing scratches..bummer!!)

Caveat Emptor - Inspect this set carefully!
I read the reviews about this set before I made my purchase. I saw the warnings about scratched disks. I looked at the Season 1-9 Thinpak set. I did the math and found I could save about $70 if I took the chance on this set instead. That was a mistake.
The first thing I noticed when I opened the set was that the Stargate logo on the outside of the cardboard (not metal) box was upside down. It was not a good first impression but certainly representative of what waited inside.
The disks were in two large cardboard "binders" with the booklet between them. Each "binder" held 9 sets of 3 disks in fold-out pouches. I began examining the disks in the first "binder" and found a few of them were indeed scratched. I tested them and they were still playable so I continued with my examinations.
The first "binder" held the disks for Seasons 1-5 and the first two disks of Season 6. All was well until I looked in the second "binder." It was an exact match of the first! There were two sets of Seasons 1-5 and two sets of the first two disks of Season 6. So much for quality control...
Two stars because I like the Stargate series and I applaud the attempt at offering the entire series in one DVD set, but that is being generous.

Bad discs, full of scratches and pits!
This box is great - with an amazing price point for 10 seasons' worth of TV entertainment, and the packaging is absolutely gorgeous. The plastic chappai regularly becomes a conversation piece. :-)
HOWEVER, the discs packed within are AWFUL and the third disc in the folder pages are very badly scratched and full of pits. Amazon actually sent me a replacement box, and that was only a partial fix as some discs in the replacement box was still unplayable.
I've only had the time to go through the first 9 discs, but I was very upset to see Disc 6 completely unplayable and I had to skip through 20 minutes in Disc 9.
I sincerely hope that the remaining discs fare much better, but I don't have much confidence. Random inspections on the other discs revealed similar scratches as well.
Very shoddy QA from MGM. I don't think I'll be picking up more of their releases after such a bad experience. This never happened with the X-Files box!
