Amazon shipped my order (packaged with Agent Carter S1 Blu) in a padded envelope, so expect some minor to major damage to those slipcovers. I'm not sure why this set was Amazon exclusive, but it's led to some of the most obvious price-rigging, starting at $55 and jumping to $72 on the day of release. For comparison, with the wide release of S1 of Agents of SHIELD, competitive pricing on release week put the show in a range of $40 to $55 on blu-ray. The special features are also lacking. S1 of Agents of SHIELD blu-ray came with Deleted scenes, bloopers, VFX, behind the scenes at SDCC, a Marvel documentary and some episodes included commentary. This set (S2) only comes with Deleted Scenes and Bloopers. That's all. If you are a hardcore fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and their offshoots in TV and Netflix like myself, you'll want to support them by buying the sets. But your head and wallet will resist, because by existing standards, these are poor value releases (including the Agent Carter S1 set). EDIT 9/20/2015 Felt I should add a little more information and expand upon my rating. The 1 star is due to pricing and low amount of effort put into these releases. Positives of this set include: -The show itself. Much stronger than Season 1, with very few filler episodes and a great expanded cast. -Picture and Sound Quality. -The packaging with slipcover has some beautiful artwork. Deeper look at the Negatives: -This set is mastered with English language 5.1 DTS-HD or 2.0 Dolby Digital Sound. The only subtitle option is English for the hearing impaired. Even compared to the Season 1 set, this is a downgrade as that came with Spanish and French subtitles. -Each disk requires you to select each episode that you are going to watch, no full disk or season play options are available. So you will be hearing the main menu theme a lot as you have to choose the next episode. This is a major misstep, auto-play style options are a large part of "binge-watching". A person who would like to watch multiple episodes in a row could be strongly influenced to choose Netflix over buying and watching a blu-ray just on this option alone. -The overall menu layout and effort put into this set implies a quick job, even though the show wrapped over 4 months prior.
