Anybody bought this and want to ask how is it? And is it worth getting it or should I just settle with the individual season set.
Thanks,

This is worth it defiantely. If your a fan and going to get all the seasons anyway, go for the set.
The boxed set is the way to go if you're a huge GB fan...
It's amazing!!!

the box is all steelbooks. plus the firehouse outer box. and it isn't too hard to find timelife coupon codes on the internet. bet you can probably get a good deal on that set.

Too bad it's not BluRay

The boxed set is definitely the way to go. Not only do you get the five volumes in steelbooks months before they'll be released separately, but you also get the cool outer box that resembles the firehouse and has two neat little lenticular images.
But what makes this set worth getting, in my opinion, is the bonus disc and booklet. The book contains short descriptions of every episode in the set, including some trivia. The bonus disc has some extra promotional stuff, including the original animation test that was created to sell the show to networks and investors. The design of the characters changed significantly from that early test animation, and the animation was very detailed for its time.
Bottom line, if you're a Ghostbusters fan then you need this boxed set in your collection.

and btw, "extreme ghosbusters" suckkeed!! even back then when i was a kid, i kept thinking "whats with the goth chick ghostbuster? why does egon have a ponytail? why is there a wheelchair-bound ghosbuster? whats with the stuuupid rock version of the GB theme? just didnt do it for me, the original series was the best.

I'm pretty sure it's only available for purchase online, either direct from Time Life or via an online retailer. The individual volumes are being released in stores, but if you go that route, you lose out on the box, the collector's booklet, and the bonus disc. And so far, only volume 1 of the 5 has been released, so it'll be quite a while before your collection is complete.
