Dvd's that have spines that form some sort of image
I searched but couldn't find a thread on this and would like to start a thread on this so people here on dvdtalk, who is into the spine connections can have an idea on whats released that form a image. I will update this list as people reply to this thread. The one i know of are
TV Series
-He-man and the Masters of the Universes TV series
-She- Ra (coming out sometime later this year)
-The Red Dwarf series
-The whole 2003 year of WWE PPV's form a spine image..
-The Farscape (Starburst) DVDs does.
Movies
-A Nightmare on Elm Street Collection
-The Beatles Anthology
-Old Rocky Collection
-Dragon's Lair
-Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp (which came AFTER Space Ace)
-Space Ace(Note: for the last 3 titles you have to keep them in the order in which they come in the package, which is chronologically incorrect

Digital Leisure put out a 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition boxed set of Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, and Dragon's Lair 2, but in order to keep the image of Dirk the Daring intact, you have to keep them in the order in which they come in the package, which is chronologically incorrect:
Dragon's Lair
Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp (which came AFTER Space Ace)
Space Ace
Dragon's Lair
Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp (which came AFTER Space Ace)
Space Ace

Yep. Seinfeld. They are custom for R1. I designed the Cheers, Seinfeld, and Lost ones.
The later seasons of Cheers and Seinfeld that haven't been released are empty. I just printed out the spines as placeholders.
Other TV customs I've done include South Park, Arrested Development, Charlie Brown, The Office (BBC & US), Undeclared, Mad About You, Curb Your Enthusiasm & Looney Tunes: Golden Collections to name a few.

I must say that I find your custom covers to be incredibly awesome. Well done! But I echo the question others have asked -- what will you do if Lost goes longer than 3 seasons!?

Michael C, you might find this interesting and somewhat helpful in regards to further LOST customs:
From the LOST Comic-Con panel:
"Lost was intended to be a 4-5 season arch ending with a feature length movie. Damon Lindelof said that they are still planning on sticking to that plan but it's hard because the show is a hit now. But they don't want the show to end up like the X-files. They don't want to finish that main story line in season five and then have to "tap dance" for two seasons because the network doesn't want the show to end. He mentioned that when that time comes they may have to consider walking from the show."

It's an interesting discussion though.
