Is it strange that one of my thoughts after all of this is "I'm going to need a new Grail to chase after I get this. Dammit!" ?

Figured on the foam... couldnt see how the plastic would be able to hold the weight o of this big boy. Also I had no idea the master sword would be included. I thought just the little one for cerebros would be included.

Hope Greenpeace and the other treehugger wackos don't protest this development

It's been a good while since Takara or Hasbro used polystyrene, but it's still a very common packaging material, used for heavier products like electronics. I hardly think Greenpeace has any specific problems with this usage of polystyrene (lets face it: a lot more people are going to be keeping their FM in its polystyrene packaging than their new TV, so very few FM foams will end up in a landfill or in the sea).
I guess both Takara and Hasbro just haven't made enough large Transformers in recent years!

Cool. At least for those of us out there who would prefer an original, there are the slight aesthetic differences. Is it enough to necessitate spending $1000+ ? That's another discussion.
