The Island continues to grow, with more places to explore you’ll need to carry more supplies. This crate extension increases the height of your GCA023 crate by 48mm adding room for the new island from the Spider Springs Expansions. Also included are a new marble tray with angled walls, making removing marbles much easier. The Island Accessory Tray Booster raises the height of the Island Accessory tray to meet the height of the lid to keep everything in place.
Dimensions: 21.38" x 13.33" x 2.5" (543.2mm x 338.7mm x 63.2mm)

I liked what that other guy on here did with his, so I straight up jacked his style.
Looks great, adds great functionality. Would recommened.
We picked this up locally at their new facility. Customer service was way beyond excellent. The crate was easy to build and well crafted. It’s a definite must for anyone who has all the expansions for Fireball Island. We stained ours and are really happy with how it turned out.
This was a super easy kit to assemble with just a utility knife, wood glue, and some spare lumber to square things off while the glue dried. Even if you only own the core game, you’ll know what a pain it is to get it all back in the original box. This is a huge help!
For a high end item like this one, the added details on the outside are great. Also, the expansions fit inside as advertised. Only knock on this is the price.
Perfect!
This is exactly what I was looking for! My box had seen a little wear and I was looking for a better storage solution. When I saw this I knew it was perfect. Easy to assemble and perfect for my needs. Thanks!
It was a gift for my son so I'm unable to give a review but he was thrilled when he opened it on Christmas
Works as expected. Fit wasn't perfect but was good enough with some work.
Great craftsmanship and Excelent fit on the previos box. however the lack of instructions of how to put everything in (Baser game + expansions all of them), are nowhere in the assemble or in web page. You kind of figure out your best option.
Just added all of the 3D Tiles from the Big Box Kickstarter and everything fits. I've got domes on all of the cities. Some of the special tiles and forest tiles need to be double or triple stacked to get everything into the tile trays. The upgraded ships for Colonies can be squeezed into the tray for those with careful placement. The cardboard ocean tiles and the molded chairman's seat fit into the board tray. There's a lot of extra room there because I gave away my dual-layered player boards from the Turmoil Kickstarter because the Broken Token ones are so excellent. It's great to finally have all of the game in one crate.
Awesome
Verry happy with my purchase
Suit the purpose- great
While I’m happy this expansion was released to make the crate functional again. It was very fidgety to build. Having the sides split into two pieces is horrible and requires several clamps to position correctly. I recommend using full length pieces or included a jig to hold the piece in place while gluing.
Even if you don't have the full set of expansions, this addition is probably worth it for you just because it makes general storage a lot easier and gives an outstanding Vul Kar aesthetic to the whole thing. The design very well executed, and assembly is exceptionally easy. This is pretty much an auto-include with the base crate.
Over the American Thanksgiving I ordered the Fireball Island Crate expansion. In a rush to put it together I put the pieces together incorrectly. I had a difficult time in getting the proper replacement pieces but finally was able to get the necessary pieces. Finally I received the pieces. Now it is assembled correctly.
I'm really happy with this expansion for the box. It does the job well and includes a great way to store the marbles. They are much easier to get out than being placed in the square toys of the origional. 4 stars however because it was a bit difficult to put together and it didn't need to be. I found the pieces to be sloppy and therefore did not have a solid seam to glue on. The pins in vulcars eyes were the same. Sloppy and therefore didn't really help in keeping the pieces togeather. Unless you use a very slow drying glue (used used plane Elmer's wood glue) then glueing it to the box was difficult as well because by the time I brushed the glue on in order to not have much mess it started to dry before I could place this massive piece on top. Overall the final product looks great and does exactly as I expect. P.S. I purchased as guest however I did buy from this site about 2 months ago.
Magnifie la boîte !
Makes my game look very nice.
This expansion finally allows me to store all Fireball Island expansion content in one place, which is nice. yay! However, there were some technical issues I found unfortunate. First, incorrect laser cuts in the expansion I received featured sharp corners at the ends of the longer side pieces where the previous shape of the box was curved. I was able to sand off the sharp edges on the bottom of the riser to match the box's previous curve, but I obviously couldn't do anything about the top, meaning my box lid doesn't fit perfectly on top of the riser and has some visible gaps. The other issue I noticed is that when putting the expansion parts together, it was not helpful to glue the expansion riser together first (using the skull-lock joints to fashion the 4 sides and combine) before placing the riser on the box as a single new entity (which is how I interpreted the instructions). This method resulted in a riser component that was too rigid and did not match the exact shape/bends of the existing box to maintain a smooth surface along the sides. If I has another stab at it, I would place and glue the new parts to the existing box in the smallest of partitions as possible, so as to match the existing surface bends and shape better.
finally can have everything in one box, love it
My husband was super excited about getting this. He has waited a whole for it. You helped give him a Merry Christmas.
The expansions to the crate is good. I still hope the assembly videos will be coming soon because I did follow the directions well enough and am waiting for a replacement piece.
A minor build that makes a big difference. I hope that TBT publishes a video demonstrating how to fit all the island pieces in- it took a bit of trial and error to figure it out.
The long edges where missing the curve to sit flush with the original box, but a little work with my dremel and we were in business.
