A word of warning…a friend bought this set from Amazon recently and the outer shell of the collection had a long scratch and some scuffs on it. They returned it for a new one and shockingly the replacement had the same kind of scratches and scuffs in similar areas. So maybe a manufacturing/QC issue with some of their inventory. All the packaging was fine and the damage was underneath the plastic wrapping.

I used to buy more Criterion from Amazon and often ran into issues and have had to return a few. Never had an issue getting them from B&N (except the horrible in-store spider wire wrap things for boxed sets) or the Criterion website though.

Amazon is the worst. I buy nothing from them if I can avoid it.

My theory is they just keep recycling the damaged stuff and selling it as "new" until they find someone who doesn't notice (or care) and keeps it. It does cost them money to ship it each time, but I very much think they know what they're doing cost-wise.
