They really don't grow on trees. For series 4 and earlier, there has never been a full box on ebay to my knowledge. At one
point I owned 10 full boxes, and not one of them was purchased on ebay. Almost all of them were obtained from long term hobby
connections/friends by being in the right place at the right time. Other than the most common series (7, 10, 14) which do come up on ebay now and then, that's pretty much the only way to do it.

I had a full box of series 15 when I was a kid, but it didn't last long.........  Have never seen a full box of Wackys in person since then.

I saw a full box, think it was series 4 or 5 or 6, and it was encapsulated, of all things, at a comic show a few years back. In fact, it was at this show that I saw my first FB series one gold, as the series had just come out a few weeks earlier. The box was $400 and the golds were $150 each!

Descriptions like this remind me of the parts of collecting I love the most. It's all a bit romanticized but the hunting, the personal relationships required...it's more than just simple commerce required.  These items are exotic beasts.

I actually had a series 3 box that I sold on eBay around 2000. Also sold a 13,15 and 12 around the same time. Only one I have left is a 7 . Financial issues forced me to sell them and now things are good again so I want to see what boxes I can reaquire. I didn't realize how scarce they are!!!!!

You might have to do some real sleuthing to find these. It's been a long time since I've seen a full box. Probably at the big wacky gathering in '04. I would send Greg Grant an e-mail, put an ad in the Wrapper (long shot) Send the folks an e-mail at Non Sport Update. With luck, patience and $$$$ you may still find them. I think many were packed out over the past 10 years. You may be able to rebuild a 7th series.
