First time poster,
I despise buying anything online, but for you guys I am seriously considering it, but more to the point, this thread caught my eye and I figured I might as well throw my two cents into it.
Since you guys lack the production capabilities (i.e. $) to make limited edition cases as of now, why not supply all the digital materials to construct them ourselves?
Basically, Redstar's case multiplied by a few orders of magnitude. You could supply:
- A PDF manual (formatted for printing and binding)
- Cover art (something akin to what Redstar did)
- CD art (for those of use with burners that can do that kind of thing)
- Soundtrack files (If we can't burn our own audio CDs from MP3 we're hopeless)
- PDF liner notes
- Sewing pattern for that stuffed Nautilus Prime
From other posts and things you've told us that you basically have a version of the manual, the cover art, and the soundtrack. It wouldn't be hard to crop a piece of artwork to fit on the CD (CDs if you're making the soundtrack separately), and write up some quick liner notes. Hell, it wouldn't be too hard to outsource the plushie directions either.
Someone took the time to make a Knitted Companion Cube, a Nautilus Prime shouldn't be much harder than the average throw pillow.

Furthermore, I'm not so sure an included worldmap is such a hot idea, and I don't know of printers outside Kinkos that can do posters.
And that is my $0.02 on the situation.
Don't produce a LE case
Let us.
