I agree. I'd far rather have a simple row of slim cases than non-standard, awkwardly shaped packaging. I guess they figure this makes them more attractive though, especially as gives, although I don't agree.
Looking at the Columbothey could just be slimlines inside a box, and it may be the only one with an odd layout.
At least its better than those awful plan black, no writing, unidentifible cardboard cases they used for many multi-season sets.
