For those who don't know some movies are released on DVD with special edition or collector's movie tins. The problem is most of the ones I have tracked down are only offered in countries outside the U.S. I don't have a region free DVD player so it would not make sense for me to buy these editions, especially with the rather expensive shipping fees.

My question is, does anyone know of a specialty website which offers these tins here in America? I don't even need the movies but I have a real thing for the metal cases. Not to mention that a lot of the cover art is a vast improvement over normal region 1 realeases.

The sites I have found simply offer the option to print the covers as replacements for less attractive packaging. Some of them are nice but it's the tin case I'm really interested in.

If it is just the tins you really want does it matter that the dscs inside are a different region? Just buy the tins, they are way shiny.
I have two of the firefly tines and two of the two disc Serenity tins. Not trying to be a show off, just excessive compulsive.

Going for a nice little shuttle ride...

I would not have a problem paying for the entire package just to get the tin. My problem is that most of these special cases are only offered in Australia or Europe. I don't want to pay $30 plus a hefty shipping fee for each title. I was hoping someone would know of a company inside the U.S. that also sells these tins. So far I have come up empty.

Don't think such a company exists. However, if you're going to be at DragonCon, there are a few Aussies trying to make it here. Permayhaps you could ask one of them to bring a set with them and you could pay them back for it.
