Thank you for wrapping the box set in bubble wrap! It was delivered in a downpour and the box was drenched, but the DVDs are in like-new condition with no water damage. Good foresight! And so far everything seems to be in good shape, no visible damage to the used DVDs themselves. Much appreciated!

I was introduced to Alias in winter of 2003-04 during the middle of Season 3. Later in 2004 i had to have a surgery, so i got up close with Seasons 1 and 2 at that time. I absolutely love this show. Although some of the plot lines are stretches for someone like me to 'believe' (who is very technically inclined and well versed in computers) you can be allowed to immerse yourself in it. It takes you away to a place you dreamt of as a child, the world of good guys and bad people. I will always be a fan of this show, and will continue to watch the entire series in order, over and over. Save for Season 2 which i didnt own until i bought the WHOLE set in the Collecters Edition, i have seen 1, 3-5 at least 4 times each. Now i can sit down and watch Season 2, 4 times in a row lol. Why did i buy the set instead of just Season 2? Well, i wanted just Season 2 so my wife could continue watching with me (i got her hooked this past winter), but with the deal i got on the Collectors Edition, i could pass it up. Plus the 4 seasons i have were pre-owned from Blockbuster and only Season 3 and 5 had the sleeved case that held all discs. What i dislike.... that its over. I was saddened when JJ Abrams left to pursue doing Lost (which i lost interest in after Season 1), but alas, all good things must come an end right? Plus i think Jennifer Garner was wanting to move on to movies at that time, and also had a baby of her own to take care of.Read full review
I really loved the TV series Alias and love watching the episodes over and over again so I got the collection in the famous Rambaldi box. The box wasn't exactly what I expected a little bit of a let down. The DVD disc sets were for the most part great. There were a couple DVDs in the series, maybe 3, that played with a lot of static and some sections would freeze, despite using multiple different DVD players. The epiesode list on the disc season booklet was recorded incorrectly, but the actually discs were all correct. Overall I still think it was a good buy.
Every extra dollar is worth on grabbing this special edition collection. The outside looks exactly like the Irina box for Rambaldi fans, if just being introduced to Alias the packaging is as seductive as the series. JJ Abrams hits his stride with this series starring Jennifer Garner as Agent Sydney Bristow, Michael Vartan as Agent Michael Vaughn, and Ron Rifkin as the mysterious sometimes agent Alvin Sloane. The dialogue is brilliant, casting perfect, and the plot over the series develops well, from spy vs spy to science fiction. If you are a fan of Abrams, look for similarities to his other series/movies... Lost, Fringe, Star Trek... part of the joy of watching the series is catching the easter eggs. Overall, a fantastic series that will keep you up all night, wanting to put in the next DVD as you sigh and say, "Oh, just one more episode". My favorite character is Marshall Flinkman, who is not utilized to his full potential. The episodes revolving around Marshall are suspenseful but laugh out loud funny. Abrams should have developed him for roles in his future series (Lost, Fringe, etc).Read full review
Of all the TV Series boxed sets, this has to be the coolest one to date. It's reminiscent of the main theme this series revolves around, the search for immortality. But before you can achieve immortality, you must first solve the Renaissance style riddles contained within various artifacts, created by an Italian inventor and prophet Milo Rambald. The series is packed full of James Bond style gadgets and plot-lines, and the writers were definitely fond of cliffhangers. Each season ends in a dramatic cliffhanger that would make Indiana Jones proud and maybe a little jealous. It is without a doubt one of the best made, best written nail-bitters I have seen in a very long time. Probably second only to "24" except "24" always ends in a resolution. "Alias" ends in a OMG OMG what's going to happen next??? You will never regret getting this cool series packaged in this cool box. Also the boxed set contain a mystery DVD. Who knows what untold answers are finally revealed? You got to buy it see find out!Read full review
Our local TNT station was airing Alias every Wednesday night from 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. (4 episodes per week). We fell in love with the show, but in the middle of season three. Christmas provided the excuse to get the whole set. Guess what, we are still watching 3 or four episodes at a time ... it is that good. But, we are watching them at a more sane hour of the evening. Alias has it all ... excellent acting, suspense, humor, fantasy (just a touch)... we'll join the "Bring Back Alias" Club as soon as we hear that there is one. I highly recommend the show and this collection.
DVD's are brand new so they work great. Enjoying a trip down memory lane.

This is a great collection for anyone looking for nonstop action with a sense of humor. There are twists and turns you wouldn't expect. There is a puzzle spread over the five years that make watching addictive. The main character is a woman that takes on more than most men could handle while working for the government. I bought this set because both my husband and I could hardly wait for the next episode when it was on television. Now we can enjoy all five seasons without commercials!
It is a fantastic box set for any fan of the show

Alias has to be one of the best tv shows ever to come up. JJ Abrams is brilliant, the actors are amazing, and the storyline is awesome. I was very sad to see the show end only after 5 seasons, but couldn't wait to get my hands on a complete box set. I sold all my single season sets so that I could get the Rambaldi box, it's definitely worth it! We're still watching Alias, over and over again.
