Has anyone found the expansion for preorder anywhere? I can't seem to find it, but I thought it was supposed to be released at GenCon, and if that's the case, I would think that retailers would start taking preorders for it.

I truly hope that the box of the expansion will be able to hold all the cards of the original game in a elegant and orderly fashion. The box of Rune Age is what I hate the most about the game. I was about to modify it by adding compartments made of foam core sheets inside, but now I'll wait to see if FFG can save me the work.

When my fellow gamers and me choose to play Rune Age instead of, let's say, Runewars, it is because we don't have a lot of time before us and we want to play a quick, fast game before doing something else. However, having to reorganize the cards every time we want to play is really annoying.

I hear you all too well.  The artwork for the box is cool and everything, but really I am just looking for a box that fits everything together nicely.  I can't stress enough how much of a pain it is to find everything since the cards get messed up all of the time.  Sure, I can just use rubber bands, but I think a good box for card games wouldn't force people to go that route.   The box for Talisman on the other hand is a wonderful box for all of the cards it has (plus, most of the expansions).  Hopefully, FFG will find a better balance between aesthetics and function. 

I would expect the box to be much smaller than the original bast on past experience with FFG. Looking at the number of cards, I'd expect it to be the same size box as the delux boxed expansions for the Game of Thrones LCG or the Lord of the Rings LCG. To put it simply: far too small to include both the core set and the expansion.

Check out boardgamegeek.com to see the files available for this game. At the point of this post there's one file there that will help you reorganize your box, but I expect to see a lot more pop up here once "Oath and Anvil" hits the stores.

What I do is pretty simple: I organize the cards by type and separate them in the box by rectangles of card stock so that there is a top edge sticking up that I can label. Because there's still a lot of empty space in the box, I made a spacer out of styrofoam that will prevent the cards from flopping around. As more expansions are released, I can cut the foam as required. The entire project took me about 20 minutes from start to finish and it sure makes life easier.

The blue insulation type styrofoam is very rigid and doesn't crumble. You can usually get scrap cuts for free from a building supply store like Home Depot if you ask one of the staff. I use this foam a LOT in organizing all of my game boxes.

That's just great news !

Now I'm waiting for (PoD) for new solo scenario + neutral cards

That's a good idea with the foam, but really the companies shouldn't force us to have to do this with the boxes.  They can come up with a better way I believe that wouldn't cost them that much.
