July 30th, 2025 - 8:01pmIn honesty the discs are different I brought season 23 one time as my two bonus discs got damaged and the only difference I noticed is actually the age on the discs too the limited ones especially if anyone had season 23 standard/limited edition versions and saw between the two with age on the discs it’s no similar
Tom Williams
July 30th, 2025 - 8:03pmWhich I checked by Google images and one is a brighter white colour on age compared too the other as this is clearly needed incase off selling them too cex for showing the right correct ones between the two

July 30th, 2025 - 4:04pmTime to buy it again.

July 30th, 2025 - 2:00pmI think here in America, we only ever get one version of the Blu-Ray sets. What’s the difference between the sets as originally released and the “Standard Edition” versions?
Thanks!

July 30th, 2025 - 2:30pmHello David, Has Gordon as mentioned on this Site a Few Times. Disc and Content wise there’s no Difference in the Standard Edition and limited Edition Whatsoever.
It’s just the Packaging that Varies.
The Limited Edition is in a Larger Fully Cardboard Box that Contains a Booklet with a Lot more Pages full of Text and Photos than the Standard Edition does.
The Limited Edition also have a Fully Illustrated Pouch Inside the Box which when Opened Reveals the Previously Mentioned Booklet.
The Standard Edition comes in the Usual Blu-ray Plastic Case which is much Slimmer aswell.
Hope that Helps David.

July 30th, 2025 - 2:38pmDavid, Also if you look on this site when there’s a New post for the Blu-ray Collection Limited Edition Sets, Theres usually a photo that accompanies it showing the Larger Cardboard Box with the Illustrated Pouch inside and the Full Colour Booklet etc.
(As I mentioned, The Disc Count and Contents are just the same as the Standard Edition though).
Snowman
July 30th, 2025 - 2:42pmJust noticed the Photo above is the limited edition Packaging photo.
This Set just comes in a Much Slimmer Plastic Standard Blu-ray Case.
booboo
July 30th, 2025 - 2:46pmchanged that noq
Snowman
July 30th, 2025 - 2:57pmNo problem Booboo, I’d only just noticed myself that it was the Wrong Photo, When I was Explaining to David the Difference between the Sets.
David Minter
July 30th, 2025 - 4:47pmWe just get, I think, the one release in a blue plastic Blu-Ray case holding all the discs in the United States. No inserted booklets, though I think really early releases had a few pages inserts in them. Some had additional cardboard slipcases.
Snowman
July 30th, 2025 - 6:00pmHello David.
I wondered which Sets you received in the US. Sounds like you just get the Standard Sets. The Standard Sets are In the Regular Plastic Cases but there usually in a Cardboard Slip Aswell.
The First Few Standard Editions did also have a Booklet Included, but from Memory it only had about 6 to 8 Pages. Where the Limited Edition Booklets have 30 to 40 Pages of Text and Photos.
The Standard Edition Booklets were Very Abridged Versions of the Limited Edition Booklet.
The Limited Sets are really Nice Collectibles if you can get hold of them.
I think a few People From Abroad who Frequent this Site managed to get hold of the UK Sets.

July 31st, 2025 - 12:37amIt seems the cardboard slipcases have stopped being shipped with Blu-Ray sets now. The Sylvester McCoy Season Two set was shrink wrapped but didn’t have a slipcase.

July 30th, 2025 - 1:32pmAnyone have a concise list of the issues to watch out for on this release?
Snowman
July 30th, 2025 - 12:52pmThis Will make Alot of people Happy. I’ve seen many Comments on here recently Asking when Season 20 will be Released on Standard Edition. I’m ok though I always buy the Limited Edition, as I Couldnt Wait Two Years. LOL.

July 30th, 2025 - 11:51amWill the stories still have shuddery visuals I wonder?
Timelord1944
July 30th, 2025 - 9:59pmI have the Limited Edition with the shuddery visuals. I find some of the stories almost unwatchable. I am going to buy this one to hopefully get a corrected version.

July 31st, 2025 - 6:31pmThanks for reminding me about that. I almost preordered this today, but I think I’ll wait until it’s out and see if people complain about the same problem.
