Well, I splurged a few weeks back and bought ONE DVD set, #7 (it's the start of the Cassandra Collins storyline, to which I have a lot of sentimental attachment since my first DS was in the middle of that).
I noticed last weekend that the box won't close properly, and I've only had it a couple of weeks. Is this what you mean by "broken boxes"?
I bought it through DDD; don't know whether MPI will send me one of the new ones. I guess I will give it a shot.
