It's happening! I've always expected there to be a box set, but the title is bit dull and obvious. Can't beat "The Complete Wreck".

Wait... it was very subtle but was dante being sarcastic?

Yeah, while this title is very predictable, I still like it because of that connection to ASoUE's box set title.

I have been waiting for this since the announcement of ?1. Being a box set-o-philiac, I'm pretty certain I'll be getting both this and WITNDFAON. Is it the wrong thing to ask whether FU13 might be included? I'm guessing, and actually hoping as well, not.

why are you hoping not?

To make it more affordable, and for consistency (thinking of TCW, where neither TUA or TBL were included).

File Under seems generally to be treated as not formally part of the series, so I would indeed expect it not to be included in the box set. Wait, hold on a sec. The price is $64, the books are $16 each... So the price of the box set is, as you would expect, exactly the same as the price of all four books. You'd expect some savings, but strictly speaking, they're not charging you for the box, so I'd definitely say that it's a four-book box set.
The decisive evidence: ...It says in the product description that it's a four-book box set.

I wouldn't have been too gruffed about FU13 being included anyway though, because unlike TUA and TBL, it's actually the same size as the rest of the series.

I would have rather liked FU:13 to have been included. It certainly feels more part of the main series than ASoUE's supplementary materials did, given that it's set in the same timeframe and has the same protagonists. TUA and TBL felt much more... supplementary.
Plus, there's no size issue. Heck, TBL probably doesn't fit on a lot of shelves, let alone in boxes.

I have the edition of TUA that is the same size as the rest of ASoUE and it looks great. Has the same style of cover as well. However, my copy of FU13 really annoys me as it is bigger than ASoUE (inc.TUA) and WCTBATH? but is smaller than WDYSHL? and SYBIS?.

I have The US versions of ATWQ, and they are the same size as FU13, and the penny dreadful UE books are inbetween the height of ATWQ and UE
