Huinehtar: Hu? In my regular original BG' box, there were the discs' pack, and the 80+ pages manual (and some advertisement sheets). And for TotSC, there were the disc, the manual, and the BG's map. Sure, there weren't collector boxes, but...
Do you have a reprint version, instead? It would explain why your box was almost empty.
HiPhish: Maybe the French release was different, but I had the original German print. The manual was incomplete and stripped down, some parts blatantly missing (something along the lines of "look up page XX for more information" and it literally said "XX" because that part was not in the manual). The CDs were in some crappy cardboard sleeve and would fall out all the time. It was mostly just empty space in the box. TotSC had a complete manual, but that was just an expansion, so the manual was very barebones anyway. Still a box that's almost empty. Do you have a reprint version, instead? It would explain why your box was almost empty.
There is a reprint called Baldur's Gate: The Saga which contains both the base game and the expansion in one box with all the extras and the complete manual (150+ pages). When I found out about it I did a crazy thing: I sold my original prints and then used the money to buy the Saga print. It took a lot of patience to sell the ones I had for a good price and find the Saga cheaply, but in the end I managed to cover the cost (I might have even made a euro or two profit actually). Now I have more stuff and it takes up only have as much space. Plus the Saga box looks much cooler :P
