New Boxes - Size?

[Tenki]

Ok, so I don't know if this has already been answered or not, as my search-fu is extremely weak, so bear with me.

I saw some pictures, and the boxes look pretty big, the crew boxes especially. It looks like they are about the size of the rule books, is this right? If not, about how big are they?

From Twitter:



The crew boxes are almost as big as the rulebook. The reason for this is that now everything is on plastic frames.



But the boxes have a little slit inside where the cards are kept from getting scratched.

Wow, that's going to make for one massive shipping box for some gencon orders!

Sprues look good, nice and straight and solid. Did I see another pic somewhere that had the sprues in a plastic tray inside the box? (think it was Lazarus)

[ThePandaDirector]

Yeah



I'm surprised I managed to keep shipping down to $16 =]

[Mako]

Thats the one! Good idea really, stops the little bits going AWOL before you open it...

And $16 seems a lot better when you realise the size of the crate the postie will have to deliver! Heheheheh

Oh, I knew they would be bigger because of the sprues, I just wanted to verify that they were as big as I had thought they were. It would seem that I am fairly good at judging the sizes of things utilizing references that I am not entirely sure of their size. (I was looking at the other boxes in the pic I saw and calculated the size of the box set from them. Almost exactly as it turns out.)
