Are you located in the United States?  How many do you need?

Damn they are already out?
I was kinda looking to by more for my N64 games...

I managed to grab a single carton of 100 about 2 months ago... I live right down the way from the distributor in Simi. They let me walk in to pay so I wouldn't have to shell out for shipping. I can try to contact the salesperson I talked to to see what the deal is.

I'm down to about my last 10 or so cases, too.  Thankfully that's about all I need right now, but I was planning on ordering another 100 soon.  Guess 'soon' will have to be 'October' now.

If you are desperate for cases, track down some DVD stacker cases, they are roughly the same thickness and spine width as UGCs, you just need to do more modification to it.

Don't even go there!  :o I would die of OCD if they stopped making these things and I had to either redo my entire collection or have half one way and half the other.

Problem with that is I already have ~250 UGCs and I would not be willing to mess with my consistency ... I would rather not case them then mess with that.  :'(

Well you could case maybe like SNES and N64 in UGC's and NES in the double wide DVD cases without messing the consistency too badly.

So I just called them about an hour ago to ask some questions. Apperently I got lucky and my order went through. But I asked about the situation and she told me the same thing about the factory that makes them is in the middle of moving. She also told me that they are currently looking for another factory to produce the cases for them which is good news.

Well since nobody here seems to want to sell their extra UGCs, does anyone know of a similar type of case that would hold NES or SNES with artwork?

Someone said the larger "double style" DVD cases could be modded in this way - any thoughts?

I only use those, see: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=2738.0
