Since the RK premium season box sets are OOP (and pretty damn hard to find), I wanted to ask a question about the economy season sets. What kind of packaging is used for the economy season sets? Are they digipaks? PS: I'm only interested in info for the first and second season sets.

I believe they're bricks. One big case and a bunch of spines that turn like the pages of a book with a DVD on each one (think Bandai box sets).

If what I've read is correct, the economy boxes protect the discs better than the premium boxes. I believe I've read reports of the discs becoming loose in the box and potentially scratching.

Thanks for the info but I'm not exactly sure what a brick looks like (I have heard of them though). A pic of a brick collection would be greatly appreciated.

Try reading this post. It has an explanation of different kinds of boxsets and some pictures.

My response is late, but thanks for that info, Tony K. It's pretty much a guarantee that I'll get the economy sets since there's no other way to get the RK DVDs (I don't want singles).
