Space really does matter in my world and boxes are things that I tend to throw out if I can consolidate or downsize. I would be all over the new runewars to get rid of this coffin box if I thought that the expansion(s) would fit comfortably. 2 smaller boxes doesn't work any better than 1 huge one for me]
Honestly, if you can get back into your $33 amazon order, I'd swap ya and even throw in a set of promo cards (3 of the 4 anyway as I only have 1 copy of the newest) and the errata card since I have like 6 spare sets of them.
And, Barnes, were you as surprised and/or pissed-off as I was that the master set used different hard playboards than the previously printed premium boards? Pissed me off no end that the thick boards no-way no-how fit in the Master Set box.

Which is pretty much how I have them in the big box now anyway thanks to having fumbled it upside down pulling it off the top of the bookshelf once early on. Cards everywhere....a fine facepalm moment...

YES! That made me so mad. Now I have those old boards- two of them so four pieces- floating around. I've actually been using them as X-Wing boards when we're not using a friend's piece of space plywood.
But it is kind of cool, I can actually table six players in SW at once.

He seemed to indicate that PHG was making next to nothing on the game because they did not appropriately calculate container shipping for a full size box since they were used to the tiny packages.
Doesn't surprise me. The thing I found kind of bizarre was that he went with a box that was, as far as I can figure, absolutely unique. That struck me as kind of odd as I figured that there were, if not standards, then "conventions". I hate Queen Games' choice in packaging as, 90% of the time the box seems to be WAY too big for the contents, but they basically make their games fit in 1 of 3 or 4 boxes. Most wargame publishers have been within about 10% of the old 3M/Avalon Hill models for bookshelf and flat boxes since, what, 1980?
I'm sure Plaid Hat had the best of intentions here--and it's absolutely a nice set, without question; and one that still holds up after a heap of expansions and even a ton of dice sets--but it just seemed odd.
And I think this is the most I've ever thought or conversed about a gamebox NOT produced by Queen [for which I'm filled with loathing], FFG or Splotter [2 more "box as branding" companies]...
Edit: Oh, wait. The Risk: Onyx edition Box from Hell. I had a great combo of coupons and free gift certs that allowed me to pick up a copy off the virtual clearance table for like $12 shipped. Wish I had paid more attention I thought they screwed up my order and sent me a mini-fridge when the shipping box landed on my porch. Didn't get much better when I pulled that friggin' coffee table-sized box out. Another "where the hell am I going to put THIS brute?" moment.
