Versa wrote:It would save on the MSRP if they just cut the BS packaging deigns and stuck to basic. I agree. It's the toys that sell, not the complicated design of packaging.
AND do they really need so many twist ties?! It's insane! "Ok, Hasbro! I think the toy would have held in fine with 4 ties, but 8 is a little obsessive!" Even the little deluxes have an overbearing amount of twisties!
Ok it's just ranting, but anyway the topic was about the fancy packing.
The fancy packing is cool, but also for people looking to keep them in package must be finding it hard to keep in excellent condition given the odd shape.

As for ripping the box open I'm one of those who wants to keep the packaging is as good a condition as a possible. You'll never know how much value these things retain with packaging intact.

I wish Hasbro would drop all these impractical box designs and return the old box shape packaging. At least those were easy to pack away, stack, or whatever.
But nooooooooooooo... they have to get fancy.
Any thoughts?
