And sometimes the accessories were plugged into a random spot.

TF's were frequently mistransformed in stock images.

You hadn't referenced ML figures in the previous posts. You didn't state that you did not like their packaging. You just randomly threw that in there out of context.

I love the artwork. I also like Spirit's artwork. Hasbro is doing something truly imaginative with the packaging. I was explaining why it worked in with established "continuity". You were stating your opinion as incontrovertible fact. Which it is not.[/QUOTE]

Again. You were stating your opinion as incontrovertible fact. I was trying to be polite. But, I think you opinion of "why the packaging doesn't work" is unimaginative.

And I'm sure you can find a LCS that will do just that. Nowadays I dislike cardbacks that have to be ripped apart. I would much rather have a collector friendly box.
