I will be interested to see what they come up with....from this company, I'm not holding my breath for anything sensible, they rarely make wise business choices in the last few years..

That's something I hadn't thought of.

Save the environment by using less of a recyclable material. I’ve never understood that. If they want to reduce their waste stop selling Voyagers 2 per case. Stick them in a box of 6 or 8 figures. Less shipping boxes. Less tape. Less glue. Less waste. Work on simpler distribution for less over all shipping, or more fuel efficient modes of shipping products.

We'll have carboard boxes with cutouts to show the toy, like we're already getting for some of the kidsier lines. Nothing to write home about.

The packaging is a huge waste of money as well as the plastic cards imo. The price on some could drop quite a bit in some cases by just getting a brown box. I do however like some box art...

Maybe Transformers will be made of 100% recyclable plastic bottles from now on and will be made more Hollow then they are right now! Maybe to save on pictures and art work they maybe in Brown Cardboard boxes and you can draw on the box yourself! Maybe they will have a punched out Autobot or Decepicon logo so you can see the figure within

I hope they don't go the closed box route as I can see it (and I'm sure many others have as well) leading to people buying stuff only to get home and find a "lump of coal."

Already happening in the US ... Someone posted about finding a Siege Jetfire with what looks to be like a Cyberverse Megs inside
