Dynamite Entertainment, the company behind this, has more info on their website:

The display box is just a retail display for shops but the cheapest way to get lots of packs. The hanger box looks like the old G1 boxes but if they only contain 2 packs and a foil card, I can't imagine it is a thick box unless it has much padding. The hobby box looks like a shoe box.

Thank you kindly Skyfire for the link and info.



The complete set features 110 base cards, 55 rainbow holofoil cards, 10 animation art cel cards, 5 ultra-rare enhanced cards, and the boxes are complemented with special metal box topper cards. Select retailers will also carry a package with three packs and a bonus foil card, or a package presenting the complete base set.

I’m going to hold off buying, as I prefer the idea of a package with the complete base set.

Reilly, I'm not sure that Australia is getting a complete base set. The image of the shoebox product on Dynamite's website indicates a base set but the images from Australian retailers indicate that product has 5 packs of 10 cards and a jumbo card.
