MR. BIG BOX NOT SO BIG

"i was disappointed with the packaging of the Mr. Big Box. the six discs (all studio albums) came in three clear double jewel cases with just the front cover inserts (in a separate pack). the booklet is all in Japanese (NO OFFENSE JAPAN!). the t-shirt says "mr. big" on the neck collar in very small lettering with all of their Japanese history tour dates on the back...not to mention the quality of the shirt isn't heavy duty either.
the only plus is the bonus track on each CD, which is why i bought it. i think that this boxed set could've been packaged better than it was. if you're a diehard Mr. Big fan like i am, it's endless hours of enjoying their great music! if not, you're not missing much!"

"i was really happy to hear that they were releasing a Mr. Big boxed set...i was excited to get all of their studio albums with a bonus track on each disc, not to mention a huge booklet and a tshirt!
however, i was bummed out when it arrived in the mail and i opened it up. i was very dissapointed with the packaging of the boxed set. the six studio albums come in three clear double jewel cases with just the front cover inserts that were in a separate pack. the booklet is all in Japanese, and of course i can't read it! the black t-shirt says "mr. big" on the neck collar, but it's in very small lettering (not their actual logo). the back of the shirt has all of their Japanese history tour dates on the back...not to mention the quality of the shirt isn't the greatest. these guys were big in Japan...and this boxed set was probably targeted only for their japanese fans. but i'm still bummed out that they could've have "americanised" the boxed set, or officially released one in the United States.
(WE FINALLY GOT A GREATEST HITS CD IN THE US...MAYBE IN A COUPLE YEARS WE'LL GET A BOXED SET!)
the only plus for me was the bonus track on each CD, which is why i bought it...plus i'm a die-hard Mr. Big fan. so, if you like mr. big and want to get all of their discs, then purchasing this boxed set will be worth it because you will be getting the bonus tracks...not to mention their albums are becoming harder to find.
