Hasbro going green

I would not be surprised if in a few years time ALL Generations toys came in those Select style boxes because the only way to buy them will be online and store friendly packaging is not required.

I'd prefer a Gen Select style box over the packaging the cheaper toys come in.

When petrol runs out, all toys will need to be in green packaging. Oh... there wont be any toys coz they are made from plastic.

Can imgaine a world without toys?!

could be more along the lines of the Siege Sideswipe/slamdance set, the box is pretty abut it's all cardboard. great opportunity for lots of fantastic box art.

Whilst I would miss the windows at the front as I like to see the figure I am buying on those odd times I actually purchase in a bricks n mortar store, I think its a great idea.

We mega reuse and recycle on our farm, partly because there is no rubbish pickup where we are and have to take our trash to the tip ourselves. We produce zero kitchen waste for example because all the food either goes to the animals, in the compost or in the comfrey patch. And I've hoarded every milk bottle from the last 2 years in order to put liquid fertilizer in. As such I've felt guilty when I get a huge shipment of toys, and after opening a ton of them one of the bins is half full from plastic inserts. I'm perfectly happy for that to change.

What if... What if Hasbro does go the plain packaging route but on each box is a QR code and scanning it with your phone opens up box art in an augmented reality app? It presents an opportunity to have some limited animation e.g. laser fire or a moving star field.

That tech certainly exists, but how many parents are going to follow through with that? apart from those of us on forums like this.

But there is a sort of precedent for it, the RID 2015 mobile games, heck it could feature tech specs
