Read somebody yesterday who said that they'd worked out from the layout of the box that it was probably intended to be van shaped initially. With one end's contents placed to make way for the box to be windshield etc shaped.
Contents sound pretty decent, at least the cd parts, from what I've heard so far. Not seen the visuals though.

I realized why too -- looking more thoroughly at the various photos and things included with it, turns out the box set design is replicating the design of the van that the Tea Set, the predecessor band to PF, had for their various jaunts. There's a couple of photos of it with both the full band and with Nick -- all black with the white stripe in question.

Did I read something about a hidden "Meddle" remaster somewhere in the set?

It's on the Blu-Ray. You'll have to rip it. Look for a 46 minute .mkv file.

University of Colorado students will be taking a trip to the "Dark Side of the Moon" next semester.
"There's a lot more to Pink Floyd than just music or just the stage show," said Hunter Ewen, who will teach a course called "Pink Floyd: Music, Image, Culture" this spring. "There's also the technical aspects and the creative innovation and the culture. There's a bunch of stuff there to engage people in a broader conversation about a group that has a lot of popularity still on college campuses to this day."
The psychedelic course is one of the new first-year seminars the university is offering in the hopes of connecting students with their peers, a faculty member and interesting course topics they typically wouldn't get to study until their junior and senior years on campus.

when I went to Oberlin there was a thing called Exco or "Experimental College" where students could teach classes for 3 credits and take classes for 1 or 2 credits and you could claim a total of 5 credits. I taught a class called The Films of David Cronenberg, but I use the word "taught" loosely.
Anyway when I was a junior or senior a first year student taught a Pink Floyd exco which amounted to claiming a room in the student union and plugging in this little light machine and listening to pink floyd. Most of them presumably got high first. I took the class and insisted he allow me to give a lecture on Syd Barrett.

If you think Nick Mason sucks, then you think Pink Floyd sucks.
And Pink Floyd does not suck. Pink Floyd rules.

nick mason does not suck. nick mason obviously RULES, because pink floyd RULES. he also rules for the vocals on "scream thy last scream" and "one of these days". nick mason rules because he demands his pie without the crust, even though he doesn't always get it. he rules because of nick mason's fictitious sports, the greatest pink floyd-related solo album with the _possible_ exception of syd barrett's records. hell, he even rules for mason/fenn's "profiles".
mind you he's still a shit drummer.

You mean 'oh wait, Paintbox is actually shit, lol' or 'oh wait, he didn't write Paintbox'? Only one of those statements is true.

Wish I could hear the new box set without spending $500 that I don't have. Pretty annoying that the two-disc version leaves off "Vegetable Man."

Apples and Oranges continues to blow my mind. like how is this a song? how is this happening? next time you hear this, try to just listen to Syd's guitar. it's insane. he isn't playing rhythm or even the main chords sometimes, it's this weird serpentine noisey guitar weaving around in the near-background. absolutely fucking awesome.
