  The largest LEGO box is?
 
I always thought that the largest LEGO set box was the 6991 Monorail Transport Base. But we just bought a copy of an old SCALA set -- the 3290 family house. I don't have the 6991 box handy to measure for comparison, but here are the box (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.general)

Yup. Santa got my daughter one of those for Christmas a while back. It took practically the entire roll of wrapping paper....er, I'm *guessing*, of course;-) -John (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) I measure (roughly) the 6991 box to be: 25 1/4" x 18 1/2" x 4 1/4". Only one dimension larger than the 3290, and much smaller in terms of volume. (...) Indeed! John C. (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) 6991 is a tiny box! I reckon that 6990 and 6399 Monorails were bigger - when I got mine in the post (6991) I thought how small it looked. Can you verify this? I have train 7740 - that's big. (25 years ago, 28-May-99, to lugnet.general)
 
  Re: The largest LEGO box is?
 
(...) I don't have 7740 in a box so can't say. But 6991 is massive. At least mine are. Could there be two versions of the packaging? I compared one of my unopened 6991s to my unopened 6339 airport shuttle and my newly arrived 6990 box. All (...) (25 years ago, 29-May-99, to lugnet.general)

  Re: The largest LEGO box is?
 
Well, I pulled them both out of the closet and measured more carefully: 8485: 16 1/2" x 23" x 3 5/8" 6991: 18 1/2" x 25 1/2" x 4 1/2" The 6991 wins, but is still smaller than the 3290. John C. (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
