The End of Twist Ties?

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Hasbro is more concerned about costumers (the stores) buying the product than delivering a good toy to the end consumer. So all their emphasis goes on the looks of the packaging rather than what's inside.

They want you to pick up the 'awesome' looking box and that's it.

However they didn't really get the boxes looking all that flash until they changed to the style they used during Cybertron.

Remember that an adult should remove the toy from the packaging and give to the child, therefore the child would never see these dangerious twist ties.

How many parents actually take the toys out of the box for the kids though? I Don't recall any notes on the box saying that removing from package is best done by mum/dad though. Although, once the packaging has been ripped to shreds by Junior, then the twist ties guarranteed the folks had to take it from there I guess.
