    Really very impressive. I love the creativity involved in work like this. For years, the Star Wars fan community involved in customising far outweighed the TF one, but its nice to see more & more examples of Transformers customising, be it figures or packaging!

    Very nice work - Hasbro take note.

    *sigh* those were the days - cool packaging and no bloody twist ties!

    Actually it does say Valkyre on the box. I can take pics of my G1 box to prove it if you'd like.

    I see the Hot Rod box in the background, make sure you post them all!

    Wow, great job. When I originally clicked on the thread, I thought "why?" But after seeing the excellent job you did, I kinda want one of my own.

    if hasbro made boxes like that, it would be damn hard to resist ANY classics toy.

    On the other thread where the original poster suggested that the Classics should come with G1 boxes. I wasn't much of a believer until I saw this. Wow!

    If Hasbro wouldn't kill it, i wish someone able to do limited runs was around for this.
    I woulda killed for boxes like this for Blackout, Incinerator, or TFA Grimlock.
    Masterpiece there. I don't mind creative license- hell, not all G1 boxes were perfect-but this would jazz up the collection.
    keep it up.

    BTW, do you think you could provide a link to that Classics group shot on the back of the box? I like it.
