pittrek,

I actually thought of making a few for sale, but then decided it was against the spirit of Harmy's work. I'll include all the elements to make everything yourself. Though be forewarned, its a ardulous process to recreate, and not inexpensive.

Here's a mini-recipe for materials...
-The bluray cases can be found in Criterion's online store in packs of 5.
-The bluray inserts are printed on matte 60-lb inkjet stock and printed 2-sided.
- I printed directly onto the blank bluray discs with my Canon Pixma printer
-The mini-posters are printed on high-quality semi-glossy inkjet paper.
-The mini lobby cards are on a matte 60-lb card stock.
-The custom envelops for the posters and lobby cards are semi-gloss inkjet paper.
- The laserdisc-style card and fake Topps card are both on 60-lb matte inkjet paper, printed both sides.
-The slip cases are on a heavy matte card stock (not sure of weight). I reinforced the spine of the outer case with some white cardboard. I had to have a buddy print these as they were printed on 11x17 card stock.

I recommend getting a cards scoring tool to help get clean folds. They're on Amazon for about $6. Everything is glued together with rubber cement using the dry mount method (you apply rubber cement to both surfaces, let it dry and then stick it together). It makes the glue very strong. A caveat that dry mounting cannot be reposititioned, so its important to get it right the first time.

You WILL screw up your first attempt. Making this box takes a bit of trial and error. Look for a download link in the next couple days in this thread.

Good luck!
