The switch from digipak to amaray cases in slip-case happened very
quickly on the second box set - I seem to recollect seeing this
format, 2/3 months after the release date Where as the digipak
arrangement for set one was around for a while longer indicating that
the run for the digipak for set 2 was adjusted in light of sale of
set 1. Both sets are now are in amaray cases/slip case format -
unless old stock can be located.
I did point this change out a while back - seems to me that the
original digipak version particulary set two will start to attract a
premium.

they were in the first format you mention, although there didn't seem
to be any postcards in the second box set, and it seemed a bit trivial
to go back and complain. Besides, they didn't have any more of the
box set comprising volumes 5 to 8. It didn't seem to be very long
after that that the packaging changed as you describe. Perhaps it was
cheaper to bring them out in standard format?
