If you have registered with Amex Shop Small, you could get the large gift box and get $10 credit from AMEX making this deal even sweeter.
Update:
For those who want to buy more than 1 large box, you can use amex in different Lindt cafes to get multiple $10 credits.
Basically, you pick the size of the box (either small or large), then go nuts selecting your favourite flavour. There are at least 15 different flavour to choose from.
The fun bit though, is to squeeze as much chocs as you can.
I was able to fit in 64 in the large box (about 900g) and thought that I did well. Boy, was I wrong. The next day I learned that a friend's friend was able to fit in 1.3kg!!!
Just make sure you stack them nicely and OVERFLOW the box, but make sure you can close the lid unassisted. And this is important… be shameless :-)
Here is what the sign says:
Fill Your Own Gift Box
Small gift box* Now $14.50 was $29.00
Large gift box* Now $24.50 was $49.00
*Pick and mix box lid must be able to close and stay closed unassisted.
"Stay closed unassisted", I'll leave that to your imaginative mind on how you can get as much chocs while accomplishing "closed lid unassisted" :-)
This is a photo of my second loot that got cleared by the shop keeper today. She didn't seem to mind at all about the overflow.
Happy hunting.
Update:
Thanks to pea who confirmed that this deal is available at all Lindt Cafe:

The world square Lindt lady probably just had a bad day. You know, those few days every month…. Give her another chance.
