Back to the Future Blu-Ray Flux Capacitor Special Edition Case

Today I stumbled on some news that Universal is releasing Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray Trilogy Edition on October 26th. This is awesome news, as the trilogy hasn’t received the HD treatment yet. Also, this set will be packed to the gills with special features, including the never-before-seen footage of Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly (if you don’t know, they decided to re-cast the role after a few weeks of filming).

Unfortunately, the packaging is very vanilla for such an auspicious occasion:

There is nothing wrong with it; it’s unmistakable BTTF imagery. The “Back to the Future” logo is one of the most recognized wordmarks for a film, so it should be prominent.

I decided to create a BTTF Blu-Ray Special Edition tin case that would be really cool and geeky:

EDIT: After my comments regarding the BTTF logo, I figured it best to make a variant case featuring the logo:

And for those of you who don’t know, this is a case based on the “Flux Capacitor” - it’s what makes time-travel possible! Though how it makes time-travel possible is never really explained. Maybe because it looks like a Uterus? But I digress.

A lot of DVD and Blu-Ray releases come in a tin case, which are very snazzy and often sought-out by collectors should this variant be available.

To fit the Flux Capacitor in, as well as the 3 movies, the “lid” would be thicker, and the Flux Capacitor would be fully enclosed inside.

I personally would like to see the embossed labels on there, as though Doc Brown affixed them himself.

There is enough room to insert a booklet. I just didn’t have time to make one.

I think Universal should commemorate this trilogy in a special edition case like this one. Something - anything - that will entice gadget-loving people to buy this.
