5.0 out of 5 stars
I love it when a DVD set comes together!, June 10, 2010
This review is from: The A-Team: The Complete Series (DVD)
I am so happy I bought it. It's fantastic. Each season is in it's own regular sized DVD case so you don't have to keep it in the van, which is good 'cause the van is pretty huge. They got rid of the crappy double sided discs and they're now single sided ones. I was very pleasantly surprised with it. It's a quality product and I highly recommend if you want the show and don't have it yet. Right now, amazon has it listed for 89.99, which is less than 20 a season. Good price considering the old releases are over 30 a piece. Great show, great product, and it's looking beautiful on my TV as I write this.

An Awesome Classic Show!!!, June 10, 2010
This review is from: The A-Team: The Complete Series (DVD)
I was introduced to The A-Team on Christmas, and ever since then, I've been hooked. I watched all five seasons to get ready for the upcoming movie. Hannibal, B.A., Face, and Murdock are ex Special Forces and were sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit. 10 years after they break out, they are hired by people who seek their help. Hannibal is the leader of the group. Face is the charm and cons people to get what he wants. B.A. is the muscle, and Murdock is the crazy out-of-control pilot who helps fly the plane. (Murdock is my absolute favorite character) If you have a problem. If no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire THE A-TEAM!!!

poor quality of packaging, November 7, 2010
This review is from: The A-Team: The Complete Series (DVD)
the good news is that you get every episode of the show over 5 seasons and a few special features to boot.
the bad news is that the packaging is junk. lets start with the van. the van itself is quite nice, heavy cardboard coated with clear plastic. its quite strong and looks great. no complaints there. the DVDs are removed via the back of the van, the spoiler on the roof lifts (attached with 2 velcro tabs) to reveal the DVD folders inside.
my first issue was one day i noticed i had left the back door open. i was surprised i did this but thought nothing of it and closed it. a short time later i saw that it was open again - now i could make no mistake about it, it wasnt me. a closer look revealed that the half of the velcro tabs on the roof of the van had lifted - the adhesive did not stick as well to the slick plastic exterior of the van as it did the black cardboard on the inside of the back, unfolding panel. i reminded this with some super glue and have had no further problems. but should i need to modify and repair a brand new $90 dvd set?
my real beef is with the DVD folders inside the van. they are of extreme low quality and bonded poorly. the dvds slip half way into circular perforated cut outs inside the folders, these rip easily and the adhesive lifts. please be assured i have no children or pets and i have not thrown my van down the stairs. no doubt this needed to be manufactured such that 5 sets of DVDs could fit inside the van (without the van being massive) but there was some real corner cutting here. often when i remove a folder (actually, its easier to just remove all 5 and then choose the one you want) DVDs have already fallen out or fall out during removal.
my final gripe is more aesthetic then regarding construction. while the outside of the van and the outside of the folder depicts the REAL a-team: george peppard, dwight schultz, mr. t and dirk benedict; the inside of the folders is covered with pictures of the actors in the new 2010 film remake. i have no interest in this film, i have not seen it and do not intend to (Regardless of positive or negative critical review) and interest in this new film has nothing to do with why i purchased this.
i owned season 1 in the stand alone set (extreme rugged quality) but sold it on half.com then bought this. i could have actually purchased the remaining 4 seasons in that form for less then the $90 price tag on this. in some ways, i wish i did.
