Stumbled across this while looking for something else today - it looks to hold about 250 tiles and lots of other bits, might be a good solution for 15Euros!

Nothing like being late to the party!

Thanks Jungleboy - hopefully anyone reading this will be able to get more insight!

For anyone that wants to see what the BW box looks like...

I know it has been awhile since you posted this but I'm interested in the Big Box from Basically Wooden. Would you say it holds all expansions?
And also, I'm curious as to what that wooden thing in the top right of the tile area is?
Thanks

Yes, it holds all expansions. I have everything official except for a few tiles here and there and it fits everything with a bit of room to spare.

The wooden thing in the top right of the tile area in ARabidMeerkat's photo is one of the tile trays upside down.

Thanks for the quick answer Jungleboy  :(y)
I think I might have to get me one of those

Corroborating @jungleboy - I have everything of Carcassonne (original) plus every expansion apart from the Catapult, Tunnels, Windroses I & Darmstadt with enough room to have Winter Edition (plus Gingerbread Man plus Winter Crop Circles) in there too. Still some room too (good job - as I have at least 3 of the missing expansions en route)
Whatever it is, it's probably in the post from Germany...

That is great, exactly what I need :)
Have you had any problems with pieces spilling out of their compartments? What if you turn it upside down and shake all about... sorry I got carried away there for a moment. ^-^

The thought of doing that with my entire collection of tiles inside sounds horrific!

It's too heavy to shake - the only issue I can imagine is with the meeples etc potentially jumping the dividers in the top tray (but only because I can't see how much clearance there is between the top tray & the lid when closed)

Yeah, what I meant to ask was more like: can I put it in a bag and go to a friend without having to put everything back in place. To me, it would be a pretty bad box if I couldn't do that.

Yes, it is something like this I would like to avoid. During transport the box might not always be right side up.

Then you need new transport (or you need to stop rolling your car ;D)

Edit: I just took my fully laden BW box, closed it, stood it on end, returned it to normal. The contents of the top tray were all still in their previous locations - shuffled a little. The contents of the lower tray were entirely unmoved.

It's a miracle (or a disaster) that I still have my license.  :P

That's awesome hunnymonster, thanks for risking it  :D

Well, I guess that would be a logical next step (pun intended)... No, no let's not go there...
