I am going to have to go with the OP's poll answer:
Always liked opening a boxed set...It's like Xmas every day!
Maybe its more nostalgia more then anything, but the packaging was better presented. Most of the time 3 mini-booklets, excellent maps among other goodies. I have the same problem Alzruis with tearing out maps, even out of the Star Wars SAGA books. Great maps, but I just hate tearing them out. I feel that when I am buying a box set, I am buying something epic: Night Below, Dragon Mountain, Forgotten Realms, Dark Sun, etc, etc. Hell even the mini boxes of Spell jammer seemed mythic. I honestly turned away from Red Hand of Doom because it didn't have that feel (not until later when I heard how good a mod it was).
On another note, I would wish they would make the "Power" books softcover. The page count isn't that great and I'm sure it would reduce the cost enough to make the more causal gamer pick one up. I know I would instead of thumbing through one and thinking, do I really want to pay $30+ for this?
