Is there somewhere that sells just art boxes, either official or custom-made, for anime? I have a couple series' i'd like to have an artbox too, and was wondering if there's somewhere i can get them. My list includes (*=not sure if there's an official one, a custom one would be fine too):

-Chobits
-Elfen Lied
-Death Note*
-FullMetal Alchemist*
-GTO (Season 1, or as a set)*
-School Rumble
-Yu Yu Hakusho*

I would say rightstuf if they had it for cheap. But you could grab something cheap off another lowball sale. 8-)

I second this request. I have the street fighter II: V complete series and hate that damn box in which it comes. No plastic sleeve case like other boxes just the flaps swing freely.

I've seen this (http://www.designpaulchampagne.com/index.html) posted here before. None of the shows you asked for, and the main page hasn't been updated in over a year. Interesting to look at, though.

Samurai Champloo

In general, for the official boxes you will need to just buy the volume 1+artbox and just sell the volume 1 if you already have it. Boxes are pretty hard to find on their own.

This. Older series it's a bitch and a half to find 1+artbox even, so goodluck on most. I've been hunting for one box for *MONTHS* now. I've finally found it but now I'm broke and can't grab it.. >_>

I know, but to find old ones like Chobits are almost impossible. The only place that has them is Amazon, and the lowest price is around $70 =/

I've already done your trick for Speed Grapher, Berserk, Beck, Hellsing, and Le Chevalier D'eon if it makes you feel any better ;).

A few years back, some guy was making custom boxes. I don't recall his name, but he made a really nice one for Cowboy Bebop (when it was really hard to find that boxset.) Maybe can someone jolt my memory.

Consider it jolted.

The guy received a cease and desist from I think Pioneer on making these (in relation to their catalog, anyway). I'm not sure if that impacted his side business or not.
