Checked on the LucasArts website, and their historical website, there's still loads to find. I'm not even halfway there.

A worthy goal. I've been collecting LucasArts products too, but I'm not so picky about complete boxes. (just jewel cases and CDs)
You know something? It's fucking tough to find LucasArts games. I don't know if they are significantly rarer than what I am used to on console, or if no one knows to trade them on eBay and such, but I have gone two years collecting this stuff without finding many of the big titles in the wild. I'm talking rather recent, plentiful stuff, like say Sam n Max or Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
And the compilations (LucasArts Archives, Monkey Island Madness) which you would think would be the easiest place to find many of these games, are rare too! LucasArts Archives vol. 1 fetches around $100 on eBay (it was thirty bucks new and was plentiful back in the day!) and Monkey Island Madness is rare and fetches over $100 as well. (it was found in LA Archives vol. 3 driving up the cost of that too!)
Also another snag: there are a bazillion Star Wars games... only some of them good. I suppose this is the land of folks who collect entire NES sets in under six months, so anything is possible..... Good luck!

I dont care so much for the new stuff from Lucas Arts, but the old PC/Amiga adventure games, it seriously doesnt get any better than that! Monkey Island is imo the best game serie ever and especialy the 2 first games.. i get goosebumps just thinking of them lol. Good luck with your collection! :)

I recently picked up a copy of Full Throttle for about $3 (game, jewel case and instructions/inlays only) at a little thrift store here in Houston.
I love the older LucasArts PC games and always keep my eyes open for them when I go game hunting.
