Jon replied by saying that they didn't offer replacement cases (the clear ones) and said other etailers carried such cases. Admittedly, I was surprised by his response and I'm happy to pay for one.
Where do I turn to now?

Seriously? Why don't we have a thread specifically for Criterion packaging yet? This thread is getting ridiculous.

However, if the user is referring to the DVD then he'd have to scour the interent for a place that sells the clear Scanavo DVD cases that Criterion has been using for a few years... if the user wants things to be as close to the original packaging as possible, of course. I know I've come across a couple of places that sell the clear Scanavo cases, but I don't know what they are right now since I'm at work.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I get frustrated that everyone turns to Criterion for replacement parts. I think they informally stated they were going to start charging $5 for booklet, etc, which sounds justified to me. That would encourage consumers to buy though a reputable seller where you can return it, but the idea of Criterion paying (at their own expense + shipping) to upgrade a bad flea-bay sale into a perfect set just seems wild to me.
As far as I know, in practice, Criterion have not followed their $5 policy.
doctorthodt, I'm not meaning to talk to your issue particularly. I'm sure you'll have little difficulty getting your appropriate replacements, and sorry you ended up with a bad auction.
My point is the same, though: as much as we see people get replacements on here, those costs have to come from somewhere. I guess the only answer is that the costs are factored into the price of the DVDs/blu-rays that we all pay for.

It's a box set, I expected Digipaks. I'm guessing it will be like the Cassavetes DVD box set: 5 slim digipaks in one big slip box, probably with a booklet in there as well.

They've only done that a couple of times in the past, with two of the Cassavetes titles, so it would seem unlikely. However, I'm sure they realize that Easy Rider and Head would have a market of their own.

Didn't Sony license Easy Rider to Criterion only under the condition that it couldn't be released separately? Or was that never confirmed?
