I was looking for some boxes too, the ones that where for sale haven't been sold in a while.

Will need to find a new supplier.

Dey is [dese bad boyz] bruvz.

They're not as sturdy as the brown ones we got before as they are only made from single wall corrugated card but they're fine for storage.

We'll see :awe:

They do come flat packed though which makes them a little easier to store. When I bought 50 of the brown ones they came ready assembled :wtf:

Nowhere near as snazzy as some of the other peoples boxes, but seeing as they live in my garage, no need yet to make them look too cool yet. Importantly for me, most of the boxes are the nice sturdy type that the kind folk from Shopping Mall Japan send your goods in! With a bit of picking and choosing, they are all fitting the different sized boards as if they were custom made. :awe:
I also found some rather handy anti-static foam (cisco packaging) that is just the right thickness to sit under boards, whilst still keeping the feet attached. Gives a nice bit of support when stored hori, to stop any sagging, and saves mounting/unmounting feet when changing games.

I like my boxes uniform. And since Wonderboy and Fantasy Zone should fit in the same boxes they're pretty big.

Im trying to keep the same size for as many games as possible but since i make em myself and is really short on space there are plenty of sizes,
I I had the room to display them in some sort of way I would prolly allow more dead space in the boxes and make some nicer labels or print the boxes before cutting them.

If that is a A+B, then your Cave-boxes are surely as empty as Sombetzki's Cave box. :D
