I would be all over these boxes if there were designs for Arkham Horror and Descent. OR if they made a custom print on demand box insert for the standard FFG box based on the games to place inside the box.

Good call on that.  Those were the first 2 games I own that I would think of for card boxes.  Right now I use a tackle box with interchangable plastic seperator tubs that have dividers in them.  It works pretty well, but something that follows the game theme would be cool.

On a sidenote, I know that Steve Jackson Games have made "boxes of holding" for their Munchkin cards.  They're pretty cheap material, but it would be easy to do something similar that fits your FFG games.

I do not wish to burst anyone's bubble - especially since I am all for custom boxes/storage containers - but the likelihood of this happening is slim to none.  

As a company that wishes to make money, and keep its customers happy I do not think they will ever do something like this because FFG likes to make expansions for its games. 

Lets look at Arkham Horror as a prime example.  For those of you who own this game and some or all of its expansions you know as well as I do that the game is a nightmare to store and keep organized without having to use all the expansion boxes, let alone transportation of the game.   I don't know how I did it but I managed to get everything (except minis) into a large FFG game box (Descent) with all cards sleeved.  I have zero room for more expansions. 

With that being said, lets say that FFG decides to give us a custom box to hold everything for the game of Arkham Horror and all of its many expansions.   That will be a fairly large container.  Lets also say that they give room for an extra expansion, or maybe two.   That box will be huge!  Not to mention the weight.  But okay, its done.  Some time passes and 3-4 expansions have been released since the box.  Now, you no longer have room to store your complete game and have perhaps wasted the money on that fancy container. 

On the flip side of things.  If they do make a special box/container with no room for expansions then they are more or less saying that there will be no further development for that game.  Which means no more profit. 

The best idea for FFG is to make three special cases for their board games.  A small, medium and a large.  And let the players decide what they want to do. 

I'm with everyone else who want a mini-card Deck Box; I need something to hold all my mini-BSG cards.

 Well, deck boxes have now been released. Is this what everyone had in mind? I honestly think they look kind of hokey. I can see the utility of it, but if I was going to take the game somewhere to play, I'd just take my whole collection. I suppose it would be different for PvP games. The idea to include the tokens is brilliant, but again, it just doesn't look appealing to me.

Looking at your favorite games, I understand, though if you don't sleeve your cards, maybe you could fit two LotR decks and an encounter deck?  I don't know.  How big is a sleeved card compared to an unsleeved card?  100 sleeved cards should mean quite a few more unsleeved ones, I'd hope.  I don't sleeve anything, so I like to put multiple decks in these kinds of boxes. 

I really like both the token container and the glass front.  Of course, their PvP games use giant boards (WH:I), giant statues (CoC) or both (GoT multiplayer), so I don't know how much I'll use this for any of the LCGs, but it would be great for CCGs. 

Not sure how useful it'll be for board game decks.  I'd have prefered small tuck boxes for unsleeved decks for games like Cosmic. 

Great idea.  I'll see if I can make it work somehow for something.

 Awesome! Those are a great idea, I will definitely buy some. Still don't see the point of sleeving cards, though 

 Sounds like a Steve Jackson product: cheap and costly.

Adam,

if I remember correctly, there was a guy over the Arkham forums who measured the difference between sleeved and unsleeved deck. Maybe the sleeved one was 30% bigger, or something like that

Anyway, they look cool. Now I'd really love to see smaller boxes for the minicards. Games like Arkham or Twilight Imperium come with hundreds of minicards, and they're quite difficult  to store properly

Don't care about those deck boxes,

when is the day that FFG is going to give us normal inserts to store the cards inside the game box?

Even a small company like plaid hat games makes excellent inserts for it's (single) game - Summoner wars master set..

With the amount of games that FFG is pumping out, what is the problem of making a "Standard" insert mold that will fit 90% of the games ? (at least for the LCG's

 Is the front plate opening large enough to hold a sleeved card? As it happens, I'm way more proud of my card sleeves than the decks they're being used for at the moment. :3

+1 for a wish that they will make some Mini-American sized boxes. Even if it means that you need to fill it with a double row of cards, it would be a cool addition to the range.

 So someone said the deck boxes are released? Their webpage still says "coming soon". I am so desperate for these deck boxes. They are exactly what I've been scouring the net for over the last year. I've tried enlisting those with crafting skills better than mine to make something similar to no avail. I shall be buying as many as I can afford, as soon as I can get my hands on them!
