Are there any plans to re-release this with better packaging/storage for the DVDs? Has anyone contacted the company about replacing DVDs scratched because of the current packaging? Thanks in advance.

while were at it, anyone have any idea of the production run on this set? just curious

You could e-mail Criterion. They are pretty good at responding to consumer concerns.

Jonathan Turell's comments from a recent Criterion Blog entry:

"We do ask you to pay a lot for our discs, and you should expect top service. We try to deliver it, and if you’ve got suggestions on how to make it better, please e-mail me. We have a basic set of principles, but it has more to do with what and how we publish. It would be nice to say that the customer is always right, but in a very subjective medium there has to be room for more than one opinion. In the meantime, we’ll continue to do our best."
