For those who purchased the M box 2.0: now that the boxes have been out for a bit, how have the black lines/detailing on the boxes been holding up?

I'm looking into purchasing one myself, but I'm a bit concerned about the black paint(?) flaking off as part of the wear and tear.

I did an extensive review of the new MBox 2.0 if anyone is interested.

Bottom-line, they are gorgeous, but there is a lot to talk about.

GJo,

The difference is the Slot.

The M Box is the integration of a standard box with a boston box, but not the typical boston box engineering.

The Slot M box just has the added slot feature on the interior of the box.

Part of the confusion might be that anyone not familiar with the whole "family" of Okito Box variations might not pick up on the less thorough descriptions.

My advice - if you are buying for the Boston feature, avoid at all costs.

I tried two shells and both immediately jammed in the groove. Not a worker.

Interesting.

This is something that TCC were clearly aware of and should have accommodated for.

I've always found their products great, so this was a disappointment.

Ah, that's very disappointing. I'd heard the first half of the story here (this thread, page 2), but hadn't sen the blog post with the continuation. Thanks for update on it.

"Regarding the Boston-S, I invented and created this box in 2017. The bottom of the box has a groove and a particular design allowing it to accommodate a shell, and not a coin. This also makes it possible to show the box from all angles, and even to give it to the examination."

"Ok, he has respond to me ...

as proof he sent to me a M-box description movie, and the date of 2016 is the name file !!!!..."

If you have the M Box Luxury set from TCC and you have some of the Bluether magic mini Morgan dollar coins, you'll be pleased to learn they fit perfectly in the little box.

And many of the standard moves and turnover still work.

To be clear for those who may not have read the entire thread, there is no update from @magikoins here or on his blog since Sept. 28, 2022 regarding the issue of similarities between his Okito box design and TCC's M-Box with side groove (and subsequent Boston-S and M-Box 2.0 designs involving a groove/slot for a [).

Which suggests TCC's [ slot design dates to 2016, and @magikoins [ slot design dates to 2017, therefore there was no theft of his design. They were coincidentally similar designs (apparently) during roughly the same time period.

Perhaps @magikoins will offer an update, but his silence here and on his blog since Sept. 23, 2022 suggests he and TCC must have come to an agreement and ceased discussion of the issue.
