Wanted: game box

So my HeroQuest game box fell to bits ooh, I don't know, a decade or two back... all my HQ bits are now kept in a plastic Tupperware tub, which is perfectly usable and keeps the important bits safe, but lacks a certain je ne sais quoi.

Does anybody (probably in the UK to save on P&P) have a spare such box, and the plastic tray, that they'd be willing to part with? I'm not after any of the game components or anything like that - just the box/tray itself. Can offer a smallish sum of money, or swapsies if there's anything you're after that I might have spare. Thanks!

I saw that, and it is incredibly impressive... but far more effort than I'm willing to put in right now. I'll happily accept the slight on my manhood, though, because I really don't have any argument to offer in my defence...

My stuff isn't in one box.

I keep the cards and paperwork in one (lower shelf, top clear box) and the modular tiles in another (lower shelf, large green box).

I do not keep my miniatures for the game in a box at all.

As an aside, the only object on that shelf of board-games that wasn't given to me for free was that Super Dungeon-Explore. I did, however, buy that at its original retail of $79.99 (its $99.99 now).

I have a super-power. I stumble across free HeroQuest stuff. I have been given at least four complete sets--the first set I bought was actually on clearance for $8.00. I dig around at Flea Markets all the time, too. I cleaned out the game room closet the other day and found a dozen door bases. Another time I went through the 'Bitz Box' at my FLGS and walked away with a crap-load of AHQ pieces.

The most I have paid for anything HQ-related was a brand-new Kellar's Keep. I spent $120.00 on that, though I wish now that I had not.
