In addition to the physical collectibles, there are plenty of special features exclusive to this set, the most exciting of which is "No Half Measures: Creating the Final Season of Breaking Bad," a two-hour long documentary about the final season of the show. The set includes all of the bonus features from the previous seasons and a variety of new ones, including (courtesy of TVshowsonDVD.com):

Whether you complete your collection with The Final Season set or spring for The Complete Series, you're in for a treat on November 26. Since the complete series set is sure to be expensive (Amazon currently has it listed at $224.99), I would recommend anyone who has the previous five sets go to MovieStop if you have access to one and trade them all in to help pay for it; that's what I plan to do. Pre-ordering something at MovieStop usually gives you the cheapest price available as well, so if you had things to trade in on top of that, it would be much cheaper there than anywhere else. While you're at it, reserve the pretty sweet looking poster sold exclusively at MovieStop. It costs $30 and must be paid for in full by 10/27, and you can pick it up on November 26 as well.
With just three episodes left in the series, I'm sure Breaking Bad is going to end in a big way, so be sure to check back on Fanboys Anonymous for my final three reviews. It may take a few days after the release date, but also expect a review-ish post from me about the complete series set at the end of November. Until then, everyone go break bad!
