I actually have it! 18 Nov 2009
Format:DVD
The box set is different to the Limited Edition one in that it has the individual cases facing outwards (like Trial of a Timelord). The box is sturdy and good quality compared to some other 2entertain Who sets. The DVDs themselves are exactly the same as the previous ones released two years ago, containing all special features.

For the price, its worth it for 26 episodes!

Very pleased with it.

I only saw a couple of these episodes first time round so I was delighted to get this box set. I would say that they are typical fourth doctor stories with a fine mixture of humour and drama. Mary Tamm is a good companion and really should have had a second season with a screen regeneration, but her reasons for going are explained. The best episode in my opinion is THE STONES OF BLOOD closely followed by THE PIRATE PLANET; the poorest being THE POWER OF KROLL. The special features are quite good and well worth the cost of the boxset.

I've always been more of a McCoy fan myself, but this Boxset and Baker's performance in this series-long journey is fantastic and given my favourite Doc competition. The Stones of Blood being a personal favourite out of the whole boxset, mixing sci fi with pagan-like rituals and traditions. Mary Tamm as Romana is quite like a modern companion, not forever seeking the Doctor's opinion and sometimes surpassing it.

Another note would be the fantastic speical features, You need a whole day aside just to watch them properly. An impressive effort all round. Bravo.
