These 'Breaking Bad' Disc Containers Are The Coolest Feature In The Complete Series Box Set
Sony Home Entertainment"Breaking Bad" is really setting the bar high in terms of creativity for complete series box sets.
Sony released the complete series Tuesday. Naturally, as huge fans of the AMC show, we pre-ordered the set to have it delivered release day.
It comes with a lot of great extras - a never-before-seen two-hour making of the series, a collector's coin, and even a Los Pollos Hermanos apron(!) - however, we were really impressed with the unique packaging of the discs.
It's clear an immense amount of detail went into making this box set feel special for fans.
Forget everything you know about regular DVD cases. Each season is held together by magnets - a clear reference to the series.
Better yet, you may notice a bunch of strange images drawn on each season's disc set.

If you watched series creator Vince Gilligan unbox the series ahead of its release last week, you'll know you can put the clear plastic discs together to form an image iconic from each season. Gilligan suggested using them as drink coasters.
Pretty cool.
Let's take a look at them all!
