Why make it easier for thieves to get into your brand new packages? I would be all for returning to the big plastic clamshell from Toybiz days. The vintage stuff works too, but since they don't have BAFs they are rarely tampered with.

I can see how this could be a problem, but my biggest 'complaint' with it so far is that it'll make our collection of side-of-the-box art clippings incongruous (since all until this point have had that bit of plastic).

I figure it's part of Hasbro's statements a while back about making their packaging more eco-friendly. By eliminating the glue, the plastic and cardboard can be easily separated for disposal. But that's just a guess on my part. Or it could be an experiment to see how people respond to new packaging. I'd imagine the cost-to-profit thing comes into play as well.
