I think it will get better eventually.

Also: I've come to the conclusion that the new plain black packaging is designed to emulate the boxes of tec toys, IPad for example comes in a flat white box with the logo in glossy finish. My guess is that they're trying to appeal to the minimalist "tec" look modern kids are use to.

I understood what he meant by the music industry but where we have a differing opinion is that years ago artist put out a cd and the whole thing was good for like 10 bucks..now cd's have like 1 maybe 2-3 good songs yet cost 15-20. Why buy a cd when you can by just the 1 or 2 songs you like for a whole lot less? Same principle with the action figure market..we all wanted the Cap waves so we could build mandroid. but why would you put the PRIMARY piece of mandroid with a figure(female) that supposedly wont sale? and then only put her at 1 percase? I get that packaging is everchanging..given how Starwars come in the Black display or open boxes I see ML doing the same(which they have) its a neat gimmick that can appeal to those who open and those who keep MISB unlike earlier cardbacked or bubble encapsuled figures that once open there was noway they could get back into the casing.
However I do hoep that what you say comes to pass and it all gets better but reality says it will get worse before it gets better
