Great Idea but Poor Execution
I just received my set and at first was very impressed. This set has everything I wanted from David Tennant's run as the Doctor and for a lot less than buying the individual seasons thanks to Amazon's pre-order pricing guarantee.
The book presentation is very attractive and the artwork (primarily stills from the series) is nicely laid out. But as I went through the set, my excitement faded with each turn of the page. The discs are very difficult to remove from the sleeves (one won't come out at all) and many of the discs are scratched. Two of the discs won't play at all, which means I have a 26-disc set that's missing three discs in total. That's unacceptable.
I'm exchanging the set for a new one and hope that the replacement will be in much better condition than my original. If it isn't, I will return it for a full refund.
