    That looks amazing! If the classics line had packaging like that, I would've kept mine. Anyway, great job!

    Take your time and do it right. No need to rush on our account. The better the end result the better for those of us wanting to try it.

    See? That's my problem! I'm dying to learn how to make my own G1 styled boxes but I don't know anything about Photoshop. I have the program & I tried to learn it on my own but theres just too much. I would love for somebody to show me exactly what I need to know to make a G1 box & skip all the crap I don't need to learn. I wanna jump right in, not learn a bunch of stuff about Photoshop that I'll never use. So far the only use I have for photoshop is to make these boxes & I'm sure I don't need 100% of the program. I'm looking forward to your tutorial.

    My problem is I know the photoshop, but I don't know how to construct the box once I have the art files. What type of paper do you print this on and how do you assemble it?

    Hopefully he'll cover it all & we can all start making some awesome boxes. I have a ton of ideas.

    I have a feeling finding the art is gonna be the biggest problem.

    Sorry guys, my laptop is at the "Dell Depot" to be repaired, whatever the hell that means. So my hard drive is sitting in a ziplock bag on my bookshelf. Almost 28 days down now. I did manage to finish painting and furnishing the babies room without the distraction of the laptop though.

    That sucks. Dell service is terrible - they should just give you a new one already.
