My discs are also scratched, they are minor scratches and they dont effect the playing of the discs but nonetheless they are scratched and for a brand new set they shouldnt be?
I dont understand why they are scratched though, does the cardboard packaging really scratch them? I think about 6 of my discs were loose when it arrived, but even the discs that were not loose also have minor scratches on them, I agree that a plastic page idea would be much better, like the ones used in the individual season sets, but with two discs per 'page'.
Since this set was announced I have fully understood the frustration of some fans not getting S4 on its own, although personally I have been excited about this item. Now I have it, I feel a little 'flat', like theres something missing, I think what I feel is missing is Fraggles? The cover of the set with the Fraggles is great and colorful, but except for the two small pictures on the back there are no Fraggles. What I would have loved to have seen is if each 'page' contained a different picture of the Fraggles, there are so many great pics, instead, each season uses 1 pic, Matt, Doozers, Jnr, Doc & Sprocket.
I also like the line drawing map design used on the disc folder, but would have loved to have seen this in its entirety, probably instead of the Map poster that was included which I already own in the original Music & Magic CD. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Sketch-Fraggle.Rock.jpg
Alhough it hasnt really been marketed as a replica, the rock design on the cover of the file is taken from a rock design used on the cover of the HBO press pack ( http://www.muppetcentral.com/collectibles/fraggles/lobby.shtml ).
I love that I finally own all 96 episodes of Fraggle Rock, the bonus features of Sesaon 4 on this set are also really good, I loved the bit about the inkspots, ( I didnt even know what these were called) but its fun looking out for them when you watch the episodes.
Despite my minor gripes about this set, I still love it and it will be a treasured collectible of mine for many years, as will seasons 1-3 also, for the replicas and the great packaging.
4 out of 5.
I still want a stand alone season 4 set!
