Oh yeah. My God Ginrai. You just remove the figures from the plastic. When you´re finished put it back. But the white plastic foam (don´t know what it´s called in english) is even better.

The styrofoam. Cons of styrofoam would be that it can yellow over time and if you break it, it is everywhere hard to clean-up.

HASBROOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Congrats on picking up 2 Devs...but 2 Devs? Wow, that's a lot of plastic.

Don't you wish they go back to their G1 styled packaging? So easy to remove.

I wish Hasbro would use packaging that simply doesn't have twisty ties of doom and make packaging four times the necessary size.

That´s the word. Thanks. It´s true. But plastic can break and damage the stuff they are to protect. I´ve bought a Märklin F7-Amtrak train which has a plastic packing. It had broken and scratched of some paint. And it cost me alot more than I´ve paid for 1 Devastator.

Aye, just like those DVD boxes, the damn plastic holder in the middle cracks and scratched up the whole DVD. Guess any kind of package would have its pros and cons.

Yeah. We need new packaging. I have a few broken Bluray-cases. One of those that were cracked in the middle was factory-sealed...

It's most likely damaged during the shipping to store by being thrown around.

Yeah. And I know how we handle things in our store... We only have DVDs, Nintendo and PS games. But they aren´t handled very nice.
