Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I finally received this box set after months of anticipation. This set is a major disappointment highlighted by cheap packaging. First, the light up Flux Capacitor is very misleading. It's a cardboard box with a cheap lenticular printed card on top (the kind with a thin layer of wavy plastic). The lanticular printing is used as a terrible 3D effect if viewed from just the right angle and distance. Mostly, you just see a double blurred image. The card has a clear section with an LED behind it so it can light up. The light is solid white with no sequence of flashing or sounds to simulate the activity of the actual movie prop. The box includes instructions for changing the watch battery. I find this ironic because the package is so embarrassing to look at, I can't imagine anyone wanting to display it; much less to actually use the light. I don't expect to ever change the battery. The Blu-ray movie discs are stored in cardboard booklet using cardboard sleeves. The disc book has a decently thick cardboard cover and a fairly well designed binding. However the sleeves will leave your discs vulnerable to scratching every time you pull them out and put them back. To clarify, the animated series is only included on DVD. It is not Blu-ray. Luckily, the discs are included inside a standard plastic DVD case with hard plastic pages for the discs to snap into. The book is paperback printed on fair stock. It has some great images but the binding and cover are cheap. Do not expect a book that you can actually open all the way without the glued pages eventually falling out. You will need to crease the binding to even get it to open up 90 degrees. I've seen better quality books from under-funded local tourist attractions. The disc booklet, animated series DVD case, and book are tightly packed into the back of the box. Like Blu-ray cases, the disc booklet is slightly shorter than the DVD case. So, they've included a folded piece of cardboard to fill the space and fumble with every time you want to get anything out of the box. They included a pull ribbon to help get the items out of the box. Without it, you would never get anything out. With the exception of the DVD case, the discs themselves, and the tiny circuit board that controls the worthless LED, everything is cardboard. Apparently plastic was too expensive for the fans. I shouldn't need to point that the movies themselves are excellent. The animated series is entertaining enough. The special features are not very special except for the new Doc Brown short. Frankly, with the exception of the short, it's nothing that hasn't been seen before. Obviously, the Doc Brown short, like the package, is absolutely not worth $90 and I can not recommend that anyone should buy this.
