    Totally agree. Carbon offset is complete BS. Usually you'll find that all they have done is bought a grove of trees and that's where your 'money' goes. The trees were there in the first place and would 'offset carbon' regardless. That sort of thing just makes me angry and I feel sorry for people who pay for it as they are being ripped off

    I disagree here. Takara masterpiece packaging is atrocious. Take Soundblaster Soundwave as an example. Had they packed them in cassette mode they could have made it a lot smaller.

    Rodimus was another one, but his trailer was darn huge, so as much as I would have liked to have seen it smaller, I dunno how they'd do it.

    The worst I recall was Darth Vader Death Star. Double the size it needed to be as he was packed in robot mode, but they had a scale sized death start mode cutout next to him. WHAAAT?

    Back on topic though, I've thought about it and chuck unwanted card backs/bubble in the recycle bins for them to get recycled into whatever, but that's as far as it goes really. I try and reduce my environmental damage in other ways, such as not wasting water/electricity.

    there was a show on SBS where they went into houses and assessed it's overall environmental destructive capabilities. I would have loved to been on it.
    Hmm, before we enter this collection room, I need to ask for a realaxation of judgement as it's a wall to wall room of plastic, metal and shiny paint.

    It is however INCREDIBLY AWESOME!

    Agreed - the early MP releases have very big boxes. I have only two MP releases and didn't realise how big the other boxes really were. Still, the boxes for recent Autobot cars such as Lambor, Prowl, Wheeljack have been nice and compact.
