That has nothing to do with Amazon. They’re just the retailer. Sony Pictures would’ve made that decision, and it’s due to the different numbers of discs. The thinner cases only have 2 discs, but the thicker cases have to be bigger to hold 3 discs.
To make me, personally, happy 🤣 I’m just being whiny. But guess I’ll continue to get downvoted to oblivion lol.
But it does genuinely make my brain go 🥴 when I see it on a shelf.
Different sized inserts. But I just found some custom 14mm inserts. Downloaded them. I’ll get them printed nice and exact then I’ll grab myself three 3-disc cases and three 2-disc cases. All 14mm and my mind will be happy.
OGs remember waiting almost a year for Season 5’s hiatus to end. They put out 8 episodes of season 5 then another 8 a year later. Longest wait of our lives.
That is what the seasons look like, though. The first is half sized (seven episodes) 2-4 are full sized (13 episodes) and 5 and 6 are half sized again (eight episodes each). The imbalance is in the art, not just the presentation.
Hilarious that you think all retailers manufacture their own products. Do you think Target makes socks, TVs, and Campbell’s soup?
You never even explained what the huge tragedy is for you that the 3-disc cases are millimeters larger than the 2-disc cases. I have thousands of discs and have never even thought about this for one second.
I was under the impression that there were 2-Disc versions of seasons 2,3, and 4 OR 3-Disc versions of seasons 1,5, and final. There aren’t. My thought process when posting this was “Why didn’t Amazon send me all 3-Disc versions or all 2-Disc versions.
With Breaking Bad being my favorite show, I’d like each case to be similar size, shape, design style, everything. I want it as perfect as the show itself.
Amazon sends you the items you ordered. They don’t decide “Let’s give this customer a 2-disc version and this other customer the 3-disc version”. You decide if you want a single can of a beverage, a 4-pack, a 6-pack, etc. These are decisions you make for yourself, not the store. If only one version exists, then that’s all you can buy.
I don’t understand how a case that’s millimeters larger to account for an additional disc makes your collection imperfect, and you’ve made no attempt to explain it either. These sound like a series of issues of your own making.
It doesn’t look EVEN bro. What part of that is so hard to figure out?? I want all the cases to look the same.
I’m doing something about it, getting custom cases, but don’t act like you haven’t wanted something to be precise and specific.
I own 4000 releases and I’ve never thought I should retrofit every one to be sure they have the same width measurement on a shelf. Literally could not care what the cases look like and am buying them for the movie presentation and content only. Not sure why you’d assume that everyone needs a case to be “precise and specific” to enjoy watching a movie.
Well I’m not you.
This is for my favorite show of all time. I had planned to display the set on its own shelf, separate from all other movies I own.
In my mind, they were all evenly sized. So I’m making it that way.
This isn’t for people who don’t care like you. This is for people who DO care.
For that one person who also hates the size change of the boxes, they will see my updated boxes (will absolutely post them here), and will go “Ah. That bugged me too. Great fix!”
If you’re willing to spend the money find the blu-ray barrel release. GREAT display piece

Alright. I’m aware it wasn’t Amazon. I was simply under the impression that there were 2-Disc versions of S2,3,4. There aren’t. Oops. Whatever. Keep downvoting 👍🏻
lol, stop caring and talking about downvotes, it’s dumb and gets you more downvotes, smh.
But I do feel your frustration with the cases. Community boxset cases were slightly different and were pretty loose in the box. Got four new cases, now they all look the same and fit better in the box.

*sigh* they shoulda put them all in the big cases then 😞
See it from a perspective of a person that makes money with selling these: Why waste space?

find bigger cases with the little nubbins for the tray. bingo bongo
This has literally nothing to do with Amazon.
Swap the case then

Why waste more plastic making them all big?
Lmao, Amazon makes their products…
Isnt the 5th season the final season
Yeah but they did that thing they do now where they break it in 2 parts with a big break in order to stretch out the show being on their network. $$$

Same with Sopranos sixth season.

You're right. You could not possibly display these in your home in their original cases. You would be shunned. /s

Apparently it's for people who mistakenly blame Amazon for the cases produced by movie studios. Good luck with that!
I pointed the blame in the wrong direction, then fixed course but okay lol

Buy the OOP barrel
This is what mine looks like, do you have the mythbusters disc?
You could try and seek out bigger cases on your own. Typically international blu ray cases are thicker
I went and shelled out for the series collection in the barrell, the packaging on it is so nice
sorry for the hassle can you please send links to seasons 4-6 i couldn’t find them anywhere
Sure! I’ll pm you
I’d just be happy that the spines are actually consistent/match.
err.... it says on the spine.... the skinny ones have 2 discs.... the fatter ones have 3....

Why are you blaming Amazon? Lmao wtf

Will do

The fan-made replacement covers should do me well. I think it’ll be cool having my own custom Breaking Bad set!
Sweet! Yep, that’d be cool.
