For those of us who bought this the first time around but are not fans of steelbooks, is there anyway to get the new slip case packaging (presumably the same as the Essanay set)?

I would also like to know. This collection (presumably of Buster's industrial films) was announced years ago and then quietly forgotten. Is it still in the works?
