I, for one, really liked the cases with the cut-out holes. So, why did they go and change for the 4th (and final) volume?

Don't know if you're going to get an answer for this one, but yes, it's one of my only complaints about the set. I'll now use this opportunity to shamelessly plug my review...

The white lines on the inside case glow in the dark - that's why.

I don't know why they changed it but i'm glad they did, I like the plastic slipcover better.

Yes, but it destroys what would have been great packaging continuity.

I don't like the plastic cover. After living in shrink wrap for months the plastic is rather bent on mine. Slop101, are you sure it's supposed to glow. Mine sure doesn't.

I had to dig down deep at the store to find a box that was crushed or cracked. Anyone see alot of bad plastic cases?

Why would you purposefully seek out a crushed or cracked case?

How can someone complain about a crushed/cracked case if the one the bought is fine?

Well at least the spine art is similar.

Oooh - The region 2 does - since they have the same exact art, I just assumed the region 1 would do the same... sorry.

HAHA, my bad... I mean to say WAS NOT crushed. Alot of them, if not 90% of them had some damage of some kind> This could have been only at Fry's though where I picked mine up.

The crush factor was tough to find at the studio store as well. But I'm glad with the case how it is. Really looks cool and reminds me of the Ultimate toy chest toy story packaging. I like it.

My Amazon pre-order came today, no floaters and the package was in perfect condition

I wish all the sides of cases were matching though

If my aunt had a cock she'd be my uncle.

Argh, just received mine from DeepDiscount and when I opened disc 2's packaging, I was horrified to find that disc 2 was actually MISSING!!!

Now I have to send it back. Good thing I preordered to beat the rush.

Yup. I got the only acceptable one at my local Best Buy. The others were looking pretty beat up and it was only release day! That packaging will not hold up if not handled carefully.

It'd be cool if they came out with a super-sturdy box to hold all four volumes. I'd buy it.

That would be so cool and all we have to do is
cut all our UPC's off to get it.

Have no problems with box change.
Though I agree box continuity would have been nice.

I don't mind the packaging change, but the plastic slipcover could prove problematic if your house ever gets warm. There were a handful of Vol. 4's at Best Buy today that had very warped plastic slipcovers, probably as a result of being shipped on a truck with heat or something. Some of the other ones were fine, but there were some that were bubbled and warped. I've had the same thing happen to a CD of mine with a slipcover like that after I left it in the car on a hot day, so I'm pretty sure that's what happened. The packaging change itself doesn't bother me too much since it still uses the slim keepcases inside and still looks the same from the spine.

So true... so true...

you Lakers' fans are just gettin' wierder & wierder

This is the final volume? Wasn't there a season 5?

Fox's season 5 was made up of season four episodes preempted by football.

I dig the case, but wish the other seasons were like it... I was never a big fan of the hole cases for V1-V3.

But yeah, finding one in good condition will take some digging... I went through 10 or so until I found one that wasn't warped by the shrinkwrap...
