elTee Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 That's come out really nicely. I always wanted to do something like this for tales of monkey island, using Steve Purcell's cover art. Were the boxes produced/printed by an online service or was it something more labour intensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany got a classic big box release for ToMI, but it was a limited edition. We've used https://www.pack.ly for these, which are relatively cheap (and one of the few allowing for small print runs). Also, the boxes are only folded together, not glued, which makes assembly much easier. By the way, no, I won't share any print files for this, as it would somewhat devalue the whole project.

ThunderPeel2001 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 And you didn't share the crowd-funding project here? (Or was it top secret?) That's some incredible work! Incredible! (Although I want to nitpick the left side of Monkey Island on the map -- it's what fans do! ) Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueZTone Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) What a shame you left us out! Would have supported! Looks like an incredible amount of effort and attention went into this!

Laserschwert Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 To everybody mad at not being a part of this: This was a project we really wanted to keep small to avoid any legal problems. Had we made this known on an international forum like this one, or even social media, it would have exploded in scope and surely would have been shut down by Lucasfilm. Originally my friend only wanted to have big boxes to put the DVD case in, maybe adding a poster to it. But I proposed more goodies we could add, so it already grew bigger than expected. Packing and shipping 30 of these was a big undertaking in itself for a single person (my friend did that, I only designed the stuff), so having to do this for hundreds or more would not have been possible.

If you are willing to take care of logistics of ordering, collecting the money and shipping them forward (as I imagine this might be crowd-funded through the forums as well), I'd be happy to design that box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the risks of a project like that and the choice to keep it small circle. No worries. Thanks for sharing pack.ly, that's seems like an extremely affordable service. Do you have any tips to share on first draft mistakes or oversights you might have run into with the design and final print? Do you plan to share a poster scan/restoration of the special edition collection coverart? ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very generous offer - let me look into this a little and I'll get back to you. Like everyone else I don't want anything to get out of hand and have lawyers get involved! But I'm sure we'll probably be able to make something work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 In fact, if anyone is interested in a TMI box designed by laserschwert could you just DM me? I'm not going to make a post for it or make any promises or anything right now, I'm just curious to see how many people would be interested (in addition to myself and laserschwert). I get a feeling the interest in this would be quite low, but let's see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 All of that work is wonderful and I am impressed (and a little jealous) of that map. I'd also like us all to discuss the official Curse of Monkey Island map that apparently was only bundled in the Korean box release of CMI. How has that been so seemingly elusive in our community of Mojo discussion and collectors?? https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS7casu5MXJ5fzYwrIKMQpIn-2C1omdrODrGg&usqp=CAU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagomorph01 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 What strikes me as odd is that FOA was made under the LucasArts name, not Lucasfilm Games. It could of course be from a development period before the name change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueZTone Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Looks like the Indy silhouette is from Infernal Machine's cover art, but I could be mistaken! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I wonder if any of the Adventurer magazines back sales pages mention any Fate of Atlantis pins? Mine aren't handy at the moment and I currently cannot check out the web archives of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 No, unfortunately there's nothing to find about a FOA pin in the old adventurer magazines. However, I'm quite sure that this pin was made before the release by LucasArts. I know the seller fand bought a lot of stuff from him, so I guess it's an official promotional item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that shouldn't detract from it too much. It is quite nice and unique! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
