You don't mean these, do you? :)

Wow, I am so glad I ordered the Box of Holding Tuesday. And to think I put off buying the Box of holding a few weeks ago to buy the Meat Lockers because they were running low in stock.

The Boxes of Holding were basically obsolete as soon as they were printed. The Doors Box wasn't big enough to hold all the door cards, for one, and they don't hold Dungeon cards well because of all the Fantasy cards. Together you could fit all the cards, but you'd barely have any space for d10s or d6s, you wouldn't have ANY space for Jumbo D6s, level-counters, Munchkin D10s, Pawns, etc (and obviously no space for a game board). And this was BEFORE Half-Horse and Conan were printed - now it's just TOTALLY ferklempt,

The Crypts of Concealment, conversely, is actually potentially overkill, as the total number of Cthulhu cards isn't that much - less than 500 in total. Good to know, however, that you can put all your cards in one box, and the Caves & Kill-O-Meters in the other.

The Meat Lockers are kind of the same - there are about as many Zombie cards as their are Cthulhu cards. Same deal with the excess space, too: one box has the cards, the other has the Kill-O-Meters and Dungeon cards.

I donated my Boxes and all my old sepia-toned cards to a school teacher a little after I got my Deluxe set and decided to change over to an all-color set.

Unless this (supposed) new box is about the size of my custom box (almost a foot wide, by 10 inches deep, and about 4 inches tall), I don't know if it'll actually fit enough stuff to be worth it for me.

That's why my Meat Lockers and Crypts of Concealment also have other genres in them, separated with piece of cardboard a small fraction of an inch taller than the cards. If I limited them to using only their genres, I'd have plenty of wasted space, but I'm not going to allow that to happen, since I hate wasted space and I'm not OCD enough to think only like can go with like.
