Yes. I have the Tati set which had the same packaging and they were the same. You can rebend the folds and it will look better.

yes, rebending is pretty easy. another way, sit them on their backs for several days, & they may flatten & sit flush

Yes, unfortunately. They aren’t necessarily bent, they just don’t sit flush. There are several other sets that are like that. It just seems to show worse on the larger sets as opposed to the three movie ones.

mine's fine. but a lot of my others i had to rebend or just set on their backs so that the spine side might straighten out

I've yet to have a box set that hasn't been like this. I hate this Digipak nonsense. Che is one of my favourite multi-disc releases just because it came in two full keepcases.
