Just recieved this item via ups. The box itself is very impressive and the packing it was in was very protective. Note: Be very careful when removing the tape over the Blu ray discs that the manufacturer put on. On the first transformers movie it did peel some of the disc top layer off but I had read on forums that this should not affect the play back. If that is the case I'm jumping for joy! Michael Bay and his team did a great job putting this collectors box set together and reccomend it to everyone young and old!

I'm really disappointed to find out that this whole "only 5000 Box sets made!" seems to be nothing more than false advertisement. Amazon has them, Best buy did too and other websites as well. There are more than 5,000 Transformers fans out there and those 5,000 Box sets should've been gone on the very first days or so, if not the first few weeks at the most. No just that, IF there were indeed only 5,000 Box sets made, they must've come with a certificate of authenticity or at least something that said "copy 1,500 of 5,000" for example. None of that came with it. Another thing about the "signature", according to Michael Bay himself on this video: [...] he says he "signed" all 5,000 of them. If you look at his video you can very well see his actual signature. All of them match. The one that comes with the Box set doesn't even come close to his actual signature. I love the Transformers franchise, I really do. I just don't like being ripped off.

Amazing purchase, truly a collectors item and definitely worth it. The price will definitely shoot up so, if you want one, get it now before you regret it ! Also, bare in mind, that all 3 movies would cost you more or about the same if bought separately, so, happy shopping !

Everthing was in working order. Except the DOTM disc started to skip in the middle of the movie. Kinda strange. Called amazon and the service was absolutely exceptional. Right away they put the order in the replacement. Same shipping and everything. Just be you check the disc before you play it. Movie sounds completely amazing in 7.1 surrounding sound.

This Limited Collector's Edition is the must have for the Transformers Fanboy or a fan of the movie trilogy. This set is awesome and comes with all three movies on blu-ray (which looks amazing by the way) and Dark of the Moon on 3D blu-ray. It also comes with a movie plaque that contains 4 movie film cells from the movies. The plaque is also HAND SIGNED by director Michael Bay which is an added bonus to the set. The case looks awesome as well. Other than not having any of the DVDs or digital copies of all three movies, I completely love this trilogy set as I am a huge movie buff. Also they only made 5000 of these things so I'm glad I got one. I highly recommend this blu-ray set for any movie buff or Transformer fan.

you really cant go wrong with transformers. this special addition is awsome!!! i love it. the special features are just out standing. michael bay's vision is truly visionary.

The box set arrived today on the release date. It looks fantastic, is very sleek with magnetic sides that you open by turning the box upside down. The signed film cell strip is awesome- Thank you Michael Bay!!! This will sit proudly on my shelf and I'll be watching all the Dark of the Moon special features and the film in 3D this evening. Why there are any negative reviews for this set is beyond me. $90 is cheap for such an awesome collectors edition. This is for true fans, not haters! TF is the best franchise ever and Michael Bay has done such an amazing job on the 3D film and the extras. I just wish that Dark of the Moon was re-released in the cinema in 3D like Avatar was as I'd go loads more times. Roll on Transformers 4!!!

The Transformers case is very large. Impressive.

BEWARE: Check over the playability. The first blu ray - movie Transformers stopped 3/4 through and when Megan Fox is looking into the car the movie paused and started and did it again. I could see bright lines in the disk.

Other that this the collection is great/ Clear picture and great sound.

I'm not sure why some people say this is not worth the money. It is marketed toward collectors and fans of Transformers. If that is you, then this set is for you.

First, the box is huge for only three movies. It is cardboard, not metal but it still looks amazing and is surprisingly well built with magnetic latches to hold it together as well as an aluminum plaque on the top of the box.

Second, you are getting the original two disc blu ray releases, with the bonus features of each as well as the seventh disc of Dark of the Moon in 3D. No digital copies or DVDs.

Finally, $90 for not just the movies, but a show piece if you are into that kind of box set. If you are only interested in the movies, then you should not be looking into "Collectors Editions" or "Signatures Editions". If you are a fan like myself, I feel you will be pleasantly surprised by this set.
