So... holds 2000 cards? Not bad, don't think I'll be picking it up though, that's less cards than I have, yet more than I'll ever need to travel with. It's a good replacement for the illusive Sammlerkoffer though.

Also has space for Dungeon cards, dice, Kill-O-Meters, and a Level Playing Field-style board. Or whatever else you feel like putting in those wells (although the LPF one is pretty specific).

Now we just need to see a price. If it is comparable to the Big, Geeky Box for Smash Up, I'll be happy. If it is significantly more expensive, it will be a pass.

Cloewe · 02-15-2016, 08:50 AM

... comes in three different cover variants

Price: found one in euro: 27,95€

Bow before the Monster Box! What can you do with a box the size of two Munchkin Deluxe boxes? You can store almost 3,000 Munchkin cards in it! Also your Kill-O-Meter! And your Level Playing Field! Oh, and some Dungeons and Seals! And... well, you get the idea. Wrap it all up in full-color Munchkin illustrations and you've got the Munchkin Monster Box.

That's a lot of euros. We haven't announced the US price yet (and I'm not cleared to leak it now) but it will be significantly less than a straight conversion of the EUR price would imply.

Great news ... makes it easier to buy all 3 variants! :-)

If it is indeed 3000 cards, and not 2000 like the tweet says, I might be inclined to buy two, one for doors and one for treasures. I'd need to see the inlay first.

EDIT: miniaturemarket.com has the RRP at $29.95 (which Andrew has already debunked) and are selling preorders of $19.47. I'm guessing people are just speculating right now.

2,000 is correct. Not sure where you're seeing 3,000.

I said the price in euros seemed pretty high to me, and it does. I'd appreciate people not extrapolating my statements beyond that.

ThisisDog · 02-15-2016, 10:53 AM

It said 3000 in Cloewe's post, above. Seeing as both 2000 and 3000 came from unofficial sources, I was merely wondering about a best-case (pun intended) scenario.

And, from living in Europe, usually prices of goods don't follow the exchange rate. What's $30 in America, is usually £30 here in the UK. While I don't know about Euros so much, I was using that logic as a guideline. Sorry for causing offense there, but I thought if I hadn't mentioned that, somebody else would have. Plus, the Euro is only slightly stronger than the dollar, making it just over $2 more.

Mister Ed · 02-15-2016, 11:09 AM

I'm going to have to look at what the inside of this thing looks like, too. If the insert wastes (from my perspective) a lot of space making a special pocket for a Level Playing Field (which I don't have) and no good space for Level Counters (which I have a ton of) that'll be a minus (especially if doing so means it holds less CARDS than otherwise, which I have the MOST need of space for). Having special vacu-formed spots for accessories SOUNDS neat, but I'm worried that it will make it less useful the carrying the main thing (for me at least)...CARDS. :-)

But I'm cautiously excited. I've really wanted a better storage solution for Munchkin for a while, but have been too lazy for the do-it-yourself route. More Boxes of Holding would have been nice, but still unwieldy, but a single box that can carry at least a significant chunk of my collection? That's a great idea.
