I recently put in a bid on EBay for the Planescape Boxed Set and that got me thinking. With the format of 2 Books and 1 Adventure for settings in 4e, the Boxed Set could work quite nicely with such a format. Once all books are released they could come out with a Boxed Set either with just the normal amount of stuff or come with additional maps, custom DM Screen (art perhaps things like ticket costs for Eberron one for Airships, etc.). I think this could work quite nicely, what do you think.

That sounds like a pretty cool idea. Perhaps something like a slip cover like the one the core rulebook set came with. A special DM screen would be a nice addition as well.

I miss boxed sets. They always seemed to have nice, poster-sized maps, player handouts. The Basic D&D starter set came with dice, Expert with an Isle of Dread adventure, and the old gray Forgotten Realms box had see-thru hexagon overlays. The revised Dark Sun setting for 2nd edition had a full-size cloth map. Fun stuff ;).

If they were to start producing boxed sets again I'd snatch 'em up in a fit of nostalgia, no matter what they were about. Heck, at this point, I'd even buy an update of 'Elminster's Ecologies' :P.
