Yes!! I would have gotten mine back on Friday, but the shipping department at
LDMI was unusually inept in that it sent it via UPS to my P.O. Box (which is
unfortunate since UPS won't deliver to P.O. Boxes). However, I redirected it
to work and it arrived yesterday.

Yup. The exact same size, too.
I don't know how important this is to many people, but congruity of box
dimensions among sets is actually pretty important when you're trying to store
tons of 'em in a collection. I was afraid this thing would turn out to be
another monorail-sized box, which are really hard to store, since the big
floppy lid makes it easy for pieces to fall out during "vertical storage."

There's no way I'm sullying up all these parts the same way I did to my poor
Main Street set when I was ten...

Probably nothing there that can't already be known here, and six months
earlier...
