Oh for sure - it's just a shame they are housing the figures in such excessive packaging just to maintain a visual "size class"
Like, if the figure is still just as complex, and the price is still commander-class, would it kill them to make the box smaller?
It's like they're in love with an idea, content be damned

It may also be easier for manufacturing and cheaper for costs to have the same sized box, but just have it printed differently for the various figures.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. Seems kind of pointless to have such a big box.

Huh, that never occurred to me, great idea!

Yeah, this probably has something to do with it.

I have also been told that it has to do with Walmart and other major retailers wanting very specific price points. This may prevent them from arbitratily taking rodimus prime and motormaster, who cost more than a leader but less to produce than skylynx/Jetfire, just taking a random price.

Re: Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion
The size classes were established so retailers could specify which sizes and price points they sell. Back in the 80s you would just order a box of Transformers and they'd give you whatever was available at the time so you could get a box full of car bots or two Omega Supremes.

Got mine today as well after having my first order returned, I love him. Wish he wasn't so dang expensive but nothing beats a combiner in my book.

Finally opened mine; u mean the wrist(mid-forearm really) swivels? Ya they are pretty loose, but honestly TM & the purple boner had this as well - mold degradation for sure
EDIT -> also, I’m sure it’s the same as all .ca WnR orders, but since receiving Impactor/Spindle yesterday, none have arrived today
And checking the order history, Leadfoot/elephant, Bulkhead & TwinTwist have all switched to “not yet shipped; we’ll email u when available”
So now, the waiting game begins
