GC, you are not alone, my friend. I too, feel your frustration..

Hello, my name is AllyOfTheDolls, and I am a Simpsons fanatic, er, "nerd".

I was so stoked when the Simpsons Season 8 was released last week that I rushed out after work & purchased it (along with both seasons of Laguna Beach, but that's another obsession & another Thread!)

I noticed the two different packaging options, and I was so tempted to purchase the little plastic Maggie head, since it was so cute! However, I am the kind of person who likes everything to match & flow, and my DVD's are no exception (I am, afterall, the obsessive-compulsive clean freak girl who organizes her DVD collection alphabetically, by genre, & used to dust them individually when they were in a DVD rack. I also organize my wardrobe by season, color & fabric, peeps.)

However, I opted for the regular boxed packaging. Now, all of my Simpson seasons flow except season 6, which is my Homer head DVD! I think it's an adorable idea, but it doesn't..match!

So, GD, you aren't alone! My brother also sent for the regular boxed packaging since his Homer head didn't match the rest of his Seasons!

P.S.~ I totally dig your Simpsons font!!

I never did get around to sending for the normal package for Season 6. Is that offer still available? After the outrage over that it seems that they have wisely made both versions available for seasons 7 and 8. Although, it did take a fair amount of searching to find the normal box when I went to pick up my Season 8 last week. The Maggie heads were very prominently displayed in several locations, but the normal box was kinda hidden in one spot. I'm not sure if this was an attempt at pushing the crappy box or due to the fact that the other was selling better and therefore in shorter supply. I'm just glad I finally found it, because I totally would have driven to the next town to get the box I wanted.

Awww - and suddenly I'm reminded of a night of June Foray and Bill Scott a week before his death...snif....

My Simpsons DVDs all look uniform again on my shelf.

I think this puts me in the running for the title claimed in the thread title. Though maybe it makes me an over literal dick drip. It is a fine line.

FWIW, I admire the research

The replacement box they're shipping to you will look like this:

Basically it's just a slipsleeve for the plastic head.

If you want season 6 in a real box (one that holds your discs like the previous releases), you'll have to buy one of the international sets, like this one from Amazon.co.uk.
