    Yes, the move back to boxes with less plastic would be nice.

    I dont know why even the minute minicons have so much of the damn things! one shoulda been enough but goodness! Oh try doing it with the figure mentioned above THAT was a nightmare half an hour of removing twist ties and a few more minutes before that trying to remove the TAPE that was covering the twist ties ends from behind the cardboard inbox, how infuriating! I tried that before discovering wire clippers I didnt invest on one yet then, how the heck did I know that Unicron came with gazillions of the stuff. It looked as if there was about only 5 from the outside packaging, nuh-uh!

    and the poor child spends hours and hours trying to untie it

    while their fingers go numb and the frustrtation grows like a mighty (jade stalk them chinese knows what im talkin bout)

    eventually the frustration is too much and you scream "Damn youse!!! Damn youse all to hell!!!!"

    On more than a few occasions I have actually been cut by the Frackers. Heck, while packing a Titanium back in the box I cut myself with one.

    Likewise! Bloomin' frustrating they are. Even equipped w/ a nail cutter it was hard to remove the damn thing. I felt sorry for the buggers who sat there and did all that packaging.
