I want to throw out a suggestion for the packaging of the LCG games - particularly the Core products and large expansions. I've purchased AGOT, Warhammer, and will soon buy Star Wars The Card Game. My game mate has purchased Warhammer, Netrunner, CoC, and AGOT. The standard box size is not condusive to the LCG format. It doesn't work and the fact that this is an expanding card base there should be more thought put in to this factor.

I won't suggest custom inserts like Dominion. I don't want to pay the extra cost. However, useable boxes like those found with Star Trek Deckbuilding Game, Thunderstone, or Ascension would all be improvements over what we have to deal with. Most of the times I end up ditching the box and going with some bland cardboard deck box. That just doesn't seem fair for games so rich in theme and art work. 

If changing the Core boxes isn't desired, would it be possible to ask for custom 400-800 card boxes for each game? FFG has excelled at custom accessories with the art sleeves, resin house cards, and the cool token/face plate deck box. Why couldn't we make this happen to provide quality game storage for great games?

I'm just looking to give appropriate love to the games I love without having to customize from the instant I buy the game. Is that too much to ask?

The core set boxes are designed large like board game boxes as a marketing ploy to increase their shelf space and presence. Not meant to be used afterwards though I have seen some folks modify them to use them as storage. You can just as easily buy trading card boxes to put your cards in or some other storage idea that works for you. Considering this is standard FFG packaging for all of their games I don't see it changing but you can always email them your idea of custom storage boxes might be a product they have an intersted in making.

Flip the insert for double the storage space.

Pretty good idea although custom card storage boxes would be a nice addition to the accesory list FF produce.

Agreed!!

After the first two or three expansion packs, I throw the original box away. I keep the boxes for Star Trek, Thunderstone, Resident Evil.

I would also LOVE to see them include Dividers!!! Such a simple tool would be a welcome addition to the games. Make them  a Print on Demand Item, I would buy them.

Sentinels of the Multiverse Enchanced Edition has a great setup. Custom dividers and enough space for all the expansions. Def. need something like this for the LCGs.

Except SotM doesn't hold sleeved cards very well. I sleeved mine with FFG sleeves and had to move the game to a storage box.
