Haha then we both are. I just got in 400 lbs a couple of weeks ago and fixing to have to order more.
Sorry, my post is missing some text. I scanned and printed out the cereal box artwork on glossy photo paper. I then spray mounted the paper onto Medium Draftboard. I suppose you could just laser cut the real cereal boxes? Or mount the box right to some other chipboard.

I"m going to try mounting a cereal box to thin plywood. We’ll see how that comes out…

Use the same exact image, but rotate one of them 180*.
Mine was just the carton laminated to 1mm chipboard, using the HDX generic 3M-77 adhesive. Very similar to a “regular” jigsaw puzzle.

Dick Blick’s has it with reasonable shipping for larger sizes you can use in the pass-through or more GF bed sized from Amazon.

Ah, except for those of us who suffer from “buy tons of supplies for projects we totally intend to do someday but somehow never get around to” disease.

I look at the layered mandala projects @evansd2 posts, and think “What? Use up my lifetime stock of draftboard?”

I wouldn’t say I have stacks, but I did buy a full sheet that I cut down primarily for puzzles. Well, it’s 1/8" backer board.
A fun and cleaver idea. Thanks for sharing.
Hey how were you able to get the colored picture on the wood?
Such a cool idea! Would you mind sharing your process for gluing before cutting? Always afraid of using the wrong stuff for the laser…
