Finally got the Wingspan Nesting Box. It fits all the current expansions and has room for the future. I swear it must clock in at like 20lbs.

Still a little annoyed that all the Wingspan stuff that holds sleeved cards won’t fit the mote or less widely available and “standard” sleeves (Wingspan cards are not the same size as many other games) but thats not really anything a little 3D printing can’t fix.

Me! Absolutely love the game, quibbles and all. It's beautiful, has a theme I like (birds, I have two), the components are great (bird dice tower and eggs especially), and it's a very pleasant play. My main issue now is how to integrate everything together. The nesting box is neat but holy hell it's huge. Also after putting all the cards together, it's going to be some really tall stacks, as I play with card sleeves too.

Edit: Saw that the nesting box is still in pre-order status on their website, have they started shipping already?

I think its pre-order for the next printing. They don't pre-make them (they said it would be too expensive, which I guess I kinda understand) so they're effectively made to order in batches.

Edit: hit send too fast. Yeah the stacks of cards get a little unwieldy when you have sleeves on them. Need some 3D printed accessories to help manage for sure.
