Show: Lost Season/Volume: The Complete Collection Genre: Action/Adventure, Drama, Sci-Fi/Fantasy Starring: Matthew Fox, Naveen Andrews, Jorge Garcia, Josh Holloway, Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjim Kim, Evangeline Lilly, Terry O'Quinn, Emilie de Ravin, Michael Emerson, Dominic Monaghan, Henry Ian Cusick, Harold Perrineau, Elizabeth Mitchell Studio: ABC Studios Runtime: 5252 Minutes Release Date: August 24, 2010 Format: BLU-RAY Discs: 36 Rating: ( )Grade: A+ OUCH (SPOILER!!) According to Jorge Garcia, when Terry O'Quinn stabs Matthew Fox in the finale, he accidentally stabbed him with a real knife he picked up instead of a stunt knife. The knife penetrated Fox's stunt gear but luckily didn't get to his skin. First, this review will contain spoilers. Anyone talking about Lost from now until the end of time, will contain spoilers. If you don't know that by now, warnings really won't do you any good. Ok, I will delve into the blu-rays themselves first. I will get into the actual packaging later in the review. Sit back, this is a long one. QUALITY: BONUS FEATURES: (ALL PICTURES CAN BE SEEN LARGER AT THE END OF THIS ARTICLE) THE PACKAGING: The box top comes completely off (just aching to be, well, lost.). There is a puzzle in this area that you will have to figure out yourself. The bottom features an embossed map of the island. When you get into the box, there are 3 areas. The top and bottom have little fabric pulls to open up slots that feature the black light flashlight, the talisman, a letter and the pieces to the game (essentially a bunch of real rocks and fake blocks of wood). The two areas on the top and bottom have the fabric pulls but the middle area is mysteriously missing this, which makes it a little difficult to pull out. Up first is a mini episode guide. Under that is the game board. Once you remove the guide and the book, there are tabs on the side that allow you to pull up the blu-rays, which are kind of heavy for a paper pull but it is a complete wrap around that scoops the blu-rays from below. The cardboard scoop features the hatch map that comes alive with the black light. The blu-rays are put in the long slim cardboard cases. A little on the cheap side as you don't like putting $200 worth of discs in essentially a glorified piece of paper but it is pretty secure. Each seasons features the same discs as the original blu-ray releases. There are no bonus featureas added to each season nor were the discs reprinted. Not a big deal for me but it might irritate some that have already bought the first 5 seasons. The great thing about this box of blu-rays is that each season slips in the case but it doesn't have the annoying commong design that pushes the flap out the other end. A great design that gets a huge thumbs up. WHERE IS THE LOST COMPLETE COLLECTION BONUS DISC? WHAT ARE THE RULES TO SENET? BOTTOM LINE: The box set is amazing, the special features are amazing. It's a solid release. The only thing keeping it from a perfect A+ (4.50) is the damage caused by getting to the bonus disc and the fact that most people will probably find it bothersome to have to work your way into a bonus disc.

oops, I stand corrected, you are right, I apologize. This is a REGION A blu-ray set.
do you say region A because
do you say region A because you've tested it on region b players and i didn't work or because i works on your region A player?
It plkays in my Region A
It plays in my Region A players and major studios don't release region free. Also took another look at the disc and it has the REGION A stamp on all of them
ok thanks. season 5 was
ok thanks. season 5 was region free and acording to several specialised websites season 6 is region free as well....
let's wait to find out...
.
season 5 & 6 are both also Region A
These scans are taken from the individually release boxed sets and they are the same in the complete collection as well. I could be wrong (obviously, I have been in the past) but I'm pretty sure, for security reasons, any major studio is not going to release region free. If you get a region free that says a major studio on it like Disney, Paramount, Warner Brothers, etc, most likely it is a bootleg.
