If you wanted into those clam-shells, you weren't doing it unless you had a knife and were willing to draw a lot of attention to yourself with the noise to do so...

I keep going back-and-forth between preferring the Toy Biz-era clam-shells, or a sleeker, minimalist style of packaging.
Part of me is nostalgic for that bygone era of Marvel Legends, but part of me thinks that a new packaging is needed for a new era, so, I'm conflicted.
