I don't think anyone here caught why Hasbro is doing this locking mechanism thing. I think I am reading this right:
Quote:
"...to prevent rampant toy tampering due to Hasbro?s new eco-friendly packaging with
plastic-less open windows
."
So in some vain attempt to help the environment, the new packaging is basically going to be a figure strapped down to a piece of cardboard? Since there will be no plastic involved and they still want you to see the figure, the figure is just going to be hanging out there with nothing to protect it? We are going to get totally damaged figures. In stores and especially when they ship to our houses. Also, this will make stealing easier. Instead of returning switched out figures, which people could still do with this new mechanism I bet despite their claims, people will probably just rip the figures off of the cardboard backing right there in the store. You won't even have to open anything.
Also, what about accessories? How are they strapped down in an open box?
Again, like eliminating plastic bubbles or trays will do a darn thing to help. Collectors now either keep them or recycle them to begin with. Toy packaging is not the problem with the environment.
