    While I would prefer the figure to be showing or more so have a flap to show the actual figure inside (like Neca does) I am for this trade of having it be all box art of the character cause damn is it great. Makes me kind of want Slug/Slag and Grimlock rereleased like this to have them all (when the Dinos are all out) like this.

    Yeah not sure where to put this or if it's already known but Legacy Shadowpanther, Sandstorm, and Buzzsaw apparently have the plastic on their packaging vs the open face of the rest of Legacy Wave 1.

    Quicky Google translate:
    "
    And for some reason, the transparent windows of the three Legacy Beast boxes are back.
    What do you want to do"

    I might've been looking in the wrong places, but discussion about the windows here never made much traction. I even pointed it out in this very thread

    Japan release?

    EDIT: Seems the Buzzsaw, Nightprowler, and Sandstorm ones does have the plastic on the box. The other wave 1 Legacy figures still are open..

    Legacy Buzzsaw, Nightprowler and Sandstorm found in Philippines

    That was already known before when they officially revealed the figures.

    Rather, the complaint was when it was revealed that the regular Legacy line lacked those windows, since they are at risk of missing parts due to the manipulation of unwanted people in stores.

    A serious mistake by Hasbro, since we are talking about figures for collectors, and not for children like Rescue Bots or Cyberverse.

    Just because collectors enjoy Generations figures doesn't mean they aren't also for children. The box does say for ages 8+ after all, indicating that they are indeed intended for children as well as adult collectors.

    Apparently you forgot about all those people who thought is was absolutely hilarious to steal the heads off of Space Jam LeBron James figures and others.

    Shitty people do shitty things.

    And shitty people have been stealing BAF parts from Marvel Legends figures for years and those are windowed.

    So what's your point?

    I was shopping this afternoon and holy shit you'd be amazed how many toys are open package when you actually step back and look at it.

    I don't know, maybe because there are huge gaping holes in all the deluxe and voyager boxes.

    Apparently you forgot that LeBron is a celeb, and it became a TikTok fad.

    Transformers are not celebrities, and they won't be a TikTok fad.

    Thus this is literally brainless thinking.

    If only we actually had transparent aluminum (from the Star Trek 4 movie) that would have solved this problem :(
