I would like to get some good high res scans or digital pictures of all 3 of the original metal lunch pails for some covers (ie my collector card covers). I'd really like to capture the look and feel of the lunch boxes using the sides as well if at all possible. Thanks in advance.

Galatians 2: 20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

I only have the Star Wars lunch box. It's in decent shape. I scanned all six sides. Give me some sort of email account that accepts large file attachments or an FTP site to put them on.

I brought the lunch box to work this morning. I got a few weird looks as I rode up the elevator full of office professionals, all of us in our business attaire. And yes - I carried it by the handle, the way a lunch box should be carried.

Here are some small samples. The high resolution scans are considerably larger.

Coov,

Frickin' sweet!

Any chance you could put the handle on the spine, and maybe overlay "STAR WARS" on top of it?

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

That was the way I was originally planning on heading, but with the narrowness of the spine it just would not look right (especially taking away the classic feel and flow).

It would be sweet to do a box set of each movie and use the sides and everything.

Ah, you've taken me back to Kindergarten. Mine lasted me four years, before I replaced it with a Pac Man lunchbox.

Indeed! Do you want me to carve your initials on it?

I'd love for it to become a part of a set!

Could someone send me hires scans from that box?

I'll put out High-res covers after I can get scans from the others... or when I give up on that idea.

Thanks, man. I have those. I was going to settle for those but the scans that Anchorhead provided have such personality... I'd love to duplicate that. I may have to try to fake it.

You can always buy them

Empire lunchbox at ebay
Jedi lunchbox at ebay

Or maybe the seller will be kind enough to scan it.

Yeah! I have/had the Pac-Man lunch box too. I loved that lunch box, more than either of my SW boxes. Coov, I would scan you my ROTJ box, but the problems there are two fold (beyond it being fairly scratched up). First, it is packed away in storage someplace, and second, I don't own a scanner.

Not too far from the truth actually.

Those are fun. Does the box set come with a Thermos?

Thanks got your help on these. The covers are in the DVD covers section of the SW Preservation forum.

Thanks again!

Hi, I'm looking for these artworks of the vintage lunch boxes, of course without the "Despecialized Edition" and in better resolution:

Does anyone still have them and could send them to me? PPPLLEEEAASSSEEE, I love them so much! :-)

You could ask Harmy, who obviously made the DeEd logos there.

Hallmark has made "mini me" exact replicas of all three luchboxes in past few years.

Already did, he has them on an old hard drive, which he would have to search first. So I first asked here before bothering him again. ;-)
