OK - So, I have this photo of the original box from 1970 and the two above from the 1990's.

Music Box on Dark Shadows Online

Does anyone else have a photo of the Josette's Music Box packaging that is different than any of these? or are these three the only ones?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I phoned MPI Media 1-800-777-2223 leaving a message for Barbara Hartman (according to the operator, Barbara is the person responsible for this issue).  I requested new cases for the ones I have that are defective.  I left my phone number and email address on the voice message.

I received a reply from Julie (julie@mpimedia...) as follows:

Hi Cathy:

I was asked to contact you regarding replacement cases.

We do have to order these and purchase new ones.  So we can offer these at $3.00 each plus shipping for the replacement boxes.

If you have any other questions please let me know.

I have read on these boards that others here have requested replacement boxes and it sounded like MPI shipped the boxes to them free of charge.  That would make sense since sets 1-10 seem to be defective (most of mine are falling apart or won't close right - and I've only watched each CD once).

Have any of you, my wonderful cousins, had to pay for your replacement boxes???  Please let us know.

Thanks!

(above) That is too funny!   How drunk would we be if we drank to the word "must"? That has to be MY vote to tie one on!

Hey, where does everyone get those wonderful smilies anyway?

Hi!  I can't wait to get a copy of this!!!  I went out a while ago to your website and saw the short bits at the Carey Mansion.  You are FABULOUS my dear!!!  Thanks so much!!!  - JosettesMusicBox

These are starting to show up for sale on eBay.

Better get them now, before they are all gone!  Majestic may not make another run of these (we just don't know) and these might just wind up being extremely collectable and very valuable...  Personally, I'd love to see a Josette doll with a mini version of her music box 

JULIA:  Ohhhhhhhh dear... I wonder if he realizes that he forgot to put on his trousers today!

OK boys and girls... are you sitting down?

I have found "The Afgan" and long before Dark Shadows was pen to paper...

In the 1947 movie "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039420/)
there it is in all it's youth... warming Lucy Muir during an afternoon's nap.
You know they say, "If walls could talk..."
Well really now, "If AFGANS could talk..." imagine what our afgan would have to say...
Think of all the places it has been...

It is quite prominent in the scene - you can't miss it.
I would love to take a screen shot for you, but I recently learned here that I'd have to get permission from 20th Century Fox...

Plot Summary for The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)
In 1900, strong-willed widow Lucy Muir goes to live in Gull Cottage by the British seaside, even though it appears to be haunted. Sure enough, that very night she meets the ghost of crusty former owner Captain Gregg...and refuses to be scared off. Indeed, they become friends and allies, after Lucy gets used to the idea of a man's ghost haunting her bedroom. But when a charming live man comes courting, Lucy and the captain must deal with their feelings for each other.
