I always thought that the largest LEGO set box was the 6991 Monorail

but here are the box measurements for 3290:

   In U.S.:    24 7/8" x 19 1/4" x 6 1/2"
   In Metric:  63 cm x 49 cm x 16.5 cm

What about 8485?  I'm pretty positive it's the same size as the 3290,
isn't it?  I bought my 8485 from LIC in Mall of America.  They shipped
it to me in a 3290 carton, and it pretty much filled it up, except for
the height, since the carton was designed to hold two boxes and I
only ordered one set.  I'd measure the box, but it's stored away and
not easily accesibly to me.

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)

(...) 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)
