Unboxing Video of Victory Saber Showing Invertible Packaging

im just going to recycle all of that cardboard

The box is smaller than I expected so storing my spare and the empty box will not be an hassle.

Also, man, that's a really PREMIUM set!

Okay, the double box cover is a neat display feature. Kudos!

I'm so excited to get these guys in hand. The box is just so nicely done and kinda reminds me of Revoltech boxes with how it stores all the accessories amd figures. I kinda hope we get a clamshell tray so the figures can be easily put back in the box, but if we don't it's no big deal

Ngl, I had a huge dopey grin through the whole video. Closer to finally getting it in my hands for one, and two, it's the kind of over the top in a good way packaging you would expect from..
Well sdcc lol. I feel like a little kid waiting for his birthday because he already knows his parents got him the toy he wanted, but he still has to wait to get it.

Unicron. Milestone transformer figure black ink on plain brown cardboard. This guy. Two boxes most are throwing away anyways

Doubtful. One person here mentioned it possibly. I think you underestimate the popularity of this item. I think very few will be tossing the packaging on this one.

That may be true for run-of-the-mill toys.

But here, it's a highly premium product that is meant for hardcore collectors. Many will never even open the box. And for those who open it, NO ONE will dare throwing out the packaging.

So yeah. I think your "most" are either made up, or you're not a backer nor are used to buy premium collector things.

I'm definitely not throwing the packaging away.

I would've preferred the money for the packaging go to making Star Saber better.

I mean, in 20 years the box alone will be worth something, especially if people are throwing them away.

I think you missed the first comment on this page! I’m mainly joking my entire attic is full of masterpiece boxes and exclusive repaint figures so this reveal is amazing. You’re right I passed on this figure but I did back Unicron so I’m still a little salty about that box. I’m shocked they went this far I don’t think anyone expected this much and I’m super happy it seems they’re trying to make up for the lackluster Unicron box he even mentions that in the presentation. And I think this pretty much guarantees a Deathsaurus in the future so congratulations to everyone that backed him this will skyrocket in the aftermarket so no box recycling!

Oh for sure! If they do Deathsaurus the aftermarket price take off. Just like when Black Zarak caused the aftermarket price of Legends Grand Maximus to triple and even quadruple since Takara Tomy made less than 2,000 of them. Not sure if Victory Saber will quite go that high, but it'd go up quite a bit.

That's another fine retail product you've sourced funded us into.





All seriousness aside, I think we need a top 5 transformers packaging list at some point.

In your shoes, I'd be not only salty, I'd bee peppered too with a parsley garnish on top of my head.
Especially because the fact that on top of being just plain brown, that box is HUGE.

Well, Unicron and was originally supposed to be a Selects toy. That's why his box was brown cardboard.

Was gonna say the same thing. I tend to throw away my boxes to make room but when it's presented like this, I make an exception. And if I am an extreame case of keeping as little as possible, I guess most will keep the box too.

Sounds interesting.
Also, this toy exactky as is would cost more at retail, so I'm glad with how it worked out.

Yeah I toss most standard retail packaging. I did keep Titan and CC. Boxes, as well as all the UW sets, those are just amazing. I did also keep any CW that came as a set as well.

I kept the one retro titanmaster/headmaster box I got, was way too nice to throw out. I liked binlatech boxes mainly because they displayed the cars well and was a good way to re-store them to stop the paintwork getting scratched (I remember some alternators boxes being those awful open carded things like they try these days but I might be wrong).

I'd honestly throw the packaging for this star saber hahaha but I had to keep the packaging for WFC toy colors reflector.
