Today my wife gave me a Prehistoric Creatures set for my birthday. Lego is apparently switching back to having a second box inside the outer sleeve like they did up until a few years ago. But the new inside box is nicer than the old ones - it's much more solid, has its own cover and is segmented inside for sorting parts. These will make really nice long-term storage boxes.

So has anyone else seen this kind of packaging? The set came out last year but the box says "Copyright 2004, 2005" so maybe it's a second run? Steve

(...) Nice box Steve! Funny, I could swear that it looks just like the #712/#713 (full/empty) 11"x 14 3/4" wooden box sets from 1963-65 or even the #822/#823 (full/empty) wooden box sets from 1966-68. Those were only sold in continental Europe. They (...) (20 years ago, 2-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)
