How am I to know if the stock photo will match the product? That's why I'm asking here, in case anyone has recently acquired a set from Amazon.

You are failing to understand me. I have not bought anything yet from Amazon. I will pose my original question again as clearly as possible. I am collecting the series. I have Seasons 1, 2, & 4 in the "new" packaging. For consistency's sake, I'd like to buy Season 3 & 5 in the "new" packaging. However, my local Walmart no longer sells the DVD's. If I were to buy them from Amazon.com, would I be getting the original or new packaging?

I bought the first four seasons of Atlantis from the same seller, like new condition, the most expensive of which was $10. They were all box sets I decided to order the fifth season from Amazon, and I got the newest one. Made me want to start collecting the newest ones but I'm a poor college student, so I instead sent it back and I have the season five boxset on the way from another seller on Amazon.
Kind of disappointing cause Universe (haven't tried out yet) was only released in the newest packaging, so it will never match if I get them.sigpic

I've got SG-1 Seasons 1-8 in the original packaging and Seasons 9-10 in the slim-case packaging. I don't mind that the later seasons don't match given there's the O'Neill/Goa'uld years (Seasons 1-8) and the Mitchell/Ori years (Seasons 9-10).
I've also got the first season of Atlantis in the slim-cases in the cardboard sleeve. However, Wal-Mart started selling the new compressed "white" movie-style cases with pages inside to hold all five discs. Brilliant! I picked up Seasons 1&2 (they were packaged together) and Season 4 later on (Season 3 was sold out). I plan to sell the first season (eventually) and pick up Seasons 4&5, hopefully in the new "white" cases. It has less to do with consistency and more to do with the fact that the newer packaging is very sturdy compared to the slim cases.
