    would people be interested in something like this? i personally love the way the FP boxes are designed, and how the figures fit in there, and would totally love to buy a box for the club figures too...i think it'd be something they might do, as a number of people might be interested, and its one set where most people who have them, will have all 5...so, whatdya think?

    You mean a box & foam for the freebie membership figures? That would be a nice idea. I'd buy that.

    (I'm assuming you mean the freebie membership figs since Astrotrain and Airazor came in the botcon style boxes)

    The free exclusives come in a plain white cardboard shipping box. The exclusives you pay for come in packaging similar to those for the Botcon boxes. Nice heavy, glossy cardboard stock with fantastic art. Here are a few examples:

    I don't really see the difference in packaging, unless you're talking about the free figures, in which case I'm guessing it'd be too expensive to do. I'm not sure how successful selling boxes on their own would be. If they were cheap, say $5 a box, or $20 for a box that fit all 5, I may be interested, but it'd probably be more expensive than that.

    I'd be down for purchasing something like that, but it'd probably not be cheap to make and than they'd have to figure out how feesible it really is (ie: could they sell enough to not only recoup costs, but to turn a profit as well?).

    anyone would be down for it, its the question of how much is it going to cost?

    The more they charge, the less ppl will buy.

    The less they charge, the less the box maker will want to create.
