Will empty pocket boxes be available as add-ons? Having the deeper boxes would be really nice for transferring some of the older content from existing games

In Kickstarter, yes. Empty Pocket Boxes will be an add-on option.

Awesome! I can't wait to get some new copies of old favorites along with some new PBs for storage. Do we know the pocketbox dimensions? I wondering if they'd work for OGRE minis?

I'll definitely get at least a couple empties - more likely several - for my old Illuminati and Car Wars and Ogre games.

I was trying to choose which pocket box games to get. Then I decided to make it easy and get them all. Hopefully, we'll unlock a bunch more through the expansion goals, too. :)

Smaller minis, probably so. Ogres, nope.

Possibly for smaller minis. Roughly 4-inches by 7-inches by 1.25-inches.

I'm thinking an empty would be perfect for holding ODE-size counters for my travel set. Currently, i just use ziplocks, but the Pocket Box would offer better protection.

That is a good thought. I have my classic counters in ziplocs. A pocket box would be much better.
