Have you preordered any figures from online retailers outside of BBTS collector's grade feature? If you have, then you ARE, in fact, already buying things that you haven't looked at.
Yes, but I'm not buying those in person, I'm buying them online. There is a difference between buying things online and buying them physically in person. If I could, I would most certainly have bought the Skrulls and Hellfire goons in person (did not buy the Agents pack). Unfortunately, online bs has taken that choice away from me and I hate it. I hate having to buy things online period because I can not inspect the item I'm buying ahead of time.

It's like fruit. Would you ever buy fruit you could not hold in your hand and not make sure it met your quality standards before buying it?

And I'm not exactly drinking the tears of people angry with this, but I do squarely view this as minor inconvenience and willing trade off for less plastic.
Let's be real, plastic packages are not going to make or break the environment. In fact, so the plastic of a package is bad but the plastic on a toy is a non-issue? How about plastic pop bottles? Or plastic condiment bottles? Plastic utensils? Plastic plates?

And again I reiterate, why is AF15 Spider-man $3 more than the figures with plastic trays? Isn't the point of getting rid of the plastic to also cut back on costs?
