maybe someone did it, but I don't mainpage that kind of stuff

[ElToxico]

I came here to say this thread is as much of a shameless clickbait as that album was a shameless cash-grab

Hey guys.  Due to being handed a plate of **** by Covid19 and losing my income I've decided to sell my extra TSC Box set.  It's the limted international edition CD/DVD box, in excellent condtion (CDs never played).   If anyone is interested then please PM.

At the time I did not feel like buying the box set since I had most of the singles already, I regret it tho, I cannot find it for a fair price.

Up until that point the Singles Box was the most expensive thing I’d ever purchased. My goodness, how my collection has grown since then!  

[PrinceAli89]

Wow! Great memories... I remember being so excited to finally get a Britney retrospective box set. Her record label did a great job with the packaging overall.

However, I prefer to EU version to the US version because the singles are very tightly packed in the US box. In the EU box, the singles have room to breathe (on me). 
 

it also bothers me how the DVD doesn’t include Overprotected (international version), Boys, or 3. So it’s not a full collection per se, but I guess close enough. 

[PickleSpears]

Seriously all of her albums came out around this time of year lol. Britney, ITZ, GH:MP, BITM, Blackout, Circus, TSC, BITMV2, Britney Jean...

[nwonder]

I always thought the packaging was kinda ugly so I just got the regular CD instead

I didn't know that... So you mean that the box is bigger in the EU release?? How can I see that? Do you know of any unboxing video or at least a picture? I googled and all the boxes look the same to me...

I honestly don’t know what her label was thinking when leaving out sometimes, lucky, overprotected, not a girl, break the ice and dlmebtltk. Especially the lucky and sometimes  are so iconic and what ppl think of when they think britney.

I used to have the US Editon but I traded another fan for the EU Edition. The EU box is slightly bigger and the singles don’t feel as compressed in the actual box as they do in the US edition.

The box set got some mixed reception from fans .

 

The DVD is a single layer, not a dual layer and that made the picture quality actually pretty crappy. 

 

The CD Singles all looked identical to one another, most fans said at least include a replica of the original artwork on the CD 

 

Not all the content was actually included. 

 

Many of her singles contained interviews and An instrumental version. Fans wanted that not the outdated 45" Vinyl/Jukebox treatment (if only they knew 11 years later her team would start exclusive 45's one sided not two sided).

 

The box set is now a very expensive Penny..

 

Can be found on amazon for roughly between 250.00 the cheapest to 2,500 the most expensive. All used, most refuse to sell the dvd, as this was her most recent up to date video compilation. 

 

Fans said imagined if Sony did what Warner did with Madonna's celebration. 4 hours of Music, they could have sold it as the first Super Deluxe 4 CD Set, plus DVD of videos and The Circus tour on dvd or Blu Ray at best buy exclusive. 

 

She would have had massive sales..

 

It's also noted that the only first print of the box set actually hurt them having at least two additional pressings would have made the album at least Gold in the US.

It's her most reviewed positively album 

[Lonely2001]

King Of My Castle was intended for this compilation. It was recorded a few months after "3" and you can hear more about the track on the original doll podcast with Jamea Rodriguez.

I still have my Singles Collection Box Set which are going for literally $300-$600 on eBay

[Arwen]

I was always so pissed (and still am) that I was never able to find the box collection anywhere. I went to every Best Buy, Target, Walmart, FYE in a 100 mile radius and no one had it. Sigh.

@Prachi I believe they only did one print of that box set, by the time I had the funds, I ordered it, only to be told back it's cancelled.

 

I was like they needed to do to at least a few more repressings if they want to go at least gold.
