    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.

    Twist ties suck, but I always assumed they implemented them as an anti shoplifting device, can't rip a toy out of its packaging and shove it under your jumper when its got twist ties.

    G1 packaging is superior looking ofcourse, my only complaint about G1 packaging is how easy it was for those non lawabiding kids to steal the toys. I missed out on getting Skullcruncher because the only toy in stock had it's headmaster knicked (probably by Dirge).

    Wasn't me. I paid for my Skullcruncher.

    I did rack Skystalker from within his box, leaving the base behind though.

    (not proud of it, I was probably 13... and bored)

    I shoplifted a Thunderwing (minus stickers) when I was a young'un which incidentally ended up in Dirge's collection!

    Yay! Although I have made use of the twist ties for other purposes. The plastic coating means they don't rust if I use them to tie things outside. Having said that, my supply is more than enough for this lifetime!
