^ hahaha

and I just realized... if you bought this you could probably sell the separate CDs on a flea market or garage sale with profit :lol:

Eww no? Why? Every collector would know that its out of the box and everyone else wouldn't spent so much on an album (if you wanna get profit out of it.. thats a bad idea.. keep the box together xD

Collectors wouldn't buy ordinary studio albums from a flea market. And if you sell the albums for €4 each, which is an acceptable price for a good-as-new album on a flea market, you make profit already ^^

I love the box with all the covers (which I guess it contains all the cds inside), and though I'd love to have it (since it's never bad idea to have an "extra" cd) I can't even think on buying this!! :P

I think they saw the boxset of the trilogy was selling really good and decided to release this other boxset and the vinyls of the trilogy too. It's waaay too much in a very short amount of time. The prices are reasonable actually, but still...

Woah it's 35€ here o.o

You can get it cheaper in most record stores. Example: here, here or here. All less than 30. If I didn't have all the albums already I'd know what to get! :lol:

Does anyone know if the CDs are remastered? Otherwise I don't see the point of buying it since I already have everything. I'd be willing to buy it just to have remastered versions of Dookie and Insomniac.

Probably the first ones are the same version that was released in 2006, that was "remastered". Anyway, if there´s a remaster, it must be from the original tapes, cause digital remaster ones are just a big waste, just added noise and less definition.

I don't believe that this comes out here in my country. And I bet that they won't come with lyrics. Too cheap for such pack.

,,Jedes einzelne der insgesamt 8 Alben befindet sich im individuellen Paper-Sleeve mit dem Original-Artwork. Verpackt ist die Sammlung in einer schmucken Clamshell Box zum Ausklappen" - Amazon

"Every single of the 8 albums are in individual Paper-Sleeves with the Original-Artwork. The collection's packaged in a fancy Clamshell Box to fold out" - Amazon

Well... I think this answers your questions.

Did you get it online or where you able to find it in a music shop?

I might get this if I can find it in a shop.

I don't know if I want it if it doesn't come with the lyric booklet. I would rather just buy all the albums separate and then put it in a box! :lol: I'm not too crazy about sleeves...it is a good deal though, I have to consider it...

I got it in HMV :) I didn't know when it was being released, only saw it by chance!

It looks like they are all slip-cases so I doubt they will have individual booklets.

I'm probably gonna pick this up if I see it in stores because my copies of Nimrod and American Idiot (especially AI, I played that thing to shit) are worn out. I could always use new ones! Plus my copies of 1,039/Kerplunk are burnt.

I already all of their CDs so I'm not in a hurry to get this, but if I were to see it somewhere for cheaps I would totally get it for my collection.

I went looking for this in HMV yesterday and couldn't find it. Today I just happened to be walking past a golden disks and there it was :happy:

I did notice that the insomniac cover has the full picture too not like the original album cover :D

Saw this in HMV today, but it was closing time and the dick at the till wouldn't let me pay for it. Gonna go back tomorrow and grab it though.

Picked this up today and figured I might as well give it a quick review since nobody else has done.

Packing is nice and simple, 8 heavy-duty cardboard slip cases housed in a very high-quality digipak container.

On the back, there is a track listing for each album in the box.

The side of the main box features the new Green Day logo from UnoDosTre, as does the front of the box, along with the subtitle of the collection.

Inside the box, the discs are stacked in release order, from 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours down to 21st Century Breakdown.

The CD slipcases themselves are nothing special, unless you like that sort of thing. The front features the original album artwork, as you'd expect.

And the backs feature a track listing of the individual album.

All in all, well worth it for me to get this as there were a couple of albums I hadn't yet purchased as well as a couple where my original discs are scratched to buggery, so a very nice collectors gift set.

PS: Apologies for rough and ready quality of photos. Took them on iPad in a hurry.
