Unboxing The Mel Brooks Blu-ray Collection

The Mel Brooks CollectionBefore you blast me for bad grammar contained within my post’s title, take a sigh of relief and know that yes I have checked with the Internet’s #1 authority, Urban Dictionary, and “unboxing” is a real term!  The word is defined as “The Internet trend of showing photos or video from the unpacking of a retail box of some desirable product, such as the latest laptop or portable music player.”  While we are not unboxing a laptop or a portable music player we are unboxing the newest Mel Brooks Blu-ray set released this week from Twentieth Century Fox.  The 9-disc Blu-ray box set is titled The Mel Brooks Collection and I have taken the time to snap detailed pictures as I opened the set for the first time and I also listed each disc and every special feature you can expect to find within the set below.  Individual Blu-ray reviews are coming soon.  Enjoy!

The Blu-ray box set still sealed in all its glory!
