The Walking Dead: The Complete Fourth Season (Blu-ray) - Walmart Exclusive Prison Key Edition

So, whilst walking through the electronics department at Walmart, I realized that season four of AMC's The Walking Dead had been released - and that Walmart had their own limited edition in both Blu-ray and DVD form. Seeing as I had completely missed out on season four during it's original broadcast, I had to pick it up, especially with the neat-o limited edition packaging.

Featuring cover art by Alex Ross, the set is housed in a pretty solid magnetic, flip-top box made of hard cardboard. After opening the lid, you find the tri-fold Digipak sporting the same cover art as the box, and under that is the soundtrack, housed in a simple sleeve. Inside the Digipak you'll find the five Blu-ray discs, each of which bears two promo shots of the main characters, as well as the UV digital copy slip and a Walking Dead catalog. The Digipak itself sports more promo shots of the characters, as well as an episode/special features listing for each disc.

Check out some pictures of the set:








The packaging overall is top-notch, especially Ross' artwork. Also included is the album Songs of Survival Vol. 2.

The track listing is as followed:
1. Good Day Bad - Meshell Ndegeocello
2. Visions of China - The Lumineers
3. Never Going Home (Thom Alt-J Remix) - Phantogram
4. All the Young Thugs - Crooked Fingers
5. The Way I Was - Colbie Caillat
6. Escape (acoustic) - Kongos
7. Turning to Stone - Godsmack
8. The Light - Alela Diane

Overall, I really like the set. Is it as cool as the regular limited edition with the statue? No, but it is pretty classy (and roughly $35 cheaper). It's also a heck of a lot better than the usual standard Blu-ray case the standard edition comes in. The show itself has been pretty standout so far (the first three seasons, at least, not counting some slow bits in season two), so I can't wait to bite into season four.

If you for whatever reason would like to see me unbox this set, check out the video linked below, and if you enjoy it, feel free to like and/or subscribe to my channel.
