Pictures taken from DVDTalk. I don't own this.
Apparently it's a Sam's Club exclusive.

Oh damn! That would be a very nice collector's item to have. If I had a Sam's Club membership, I'd probably head over there right now. Since I have already bought all 3 volumes individually, I'd just keep this in its shrinkwrap and store it my closet.
Then again, I can't justify getting a Sam's Club membership just for one purchase. Not to mention, there are much better things a person can spend $80 on, provided that they have already bough these DVD sets separately.

It doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things, but IMHO they picked the worst of the three covers to illustrate the tin.
It's tragically cheerful and cutesy for an image representing Popeye (probably why they chose it, alas)—and Olive is disproportionately tall.
This product, as per its subject and contents, should look like something I want. It doesn't.

I saw this tin set for sale at Best Buy in London Ontario.

The tin might not be the nicest-designed-case on Earth, but I'd love to get all the Popeye sets like that in one fell swoop. My finances haven't allowed any big cartoon box purchases in years. (And they still don't allow it.)

The tin is not important to me. Besides I like my Popeyes in their warm cool colors.
