I don't own many box sets, but I treasure my Criterion Collection Jacques Demy and Marlene Dietrich/Josef von Sternberg sets. I also own a Kubrick bluray set (everything he made between LOLITA and EYES WIDE SHUT), though the packaging was busted when it came in. Luckily, the movies were not damaged.

I love the Criterion Collection. I have around 300 Criterion Collection blu rays and dvds.

Damn, impressive! I have almost 100 or so, I think? I've been collecting for about ten years now. They really are fantastic.
