I like different types of packaging, changing the Black Series or Legends boxes from one style to another just enhances my collection, IMO.
But, I do like to SEE the figure. Box art or a photo of the toy is cool for vehicles or playsets, but not for figures. I passed on all the "photo box" Classified but I did buy Baron Strucker from Legends, despite the packaging. If they re-released him with a window box I'd buy it and let my son open this one... |

It's a great move to move back to Window packaging for the Classified figures. I got some of the figures in the boxed packaging, but late last year decided I was not going to get any more as long as they continued to be packaged this way.
I.e., my #1 concern here is figure swapping - which definitely has been reported to have happened with at least some of these boxed figures. I also don't like not being able to see the figures ahead of time. Sure, I know that these days with many of us ordering online - we don't see the figure(s) before purchase, anyway. However, the likely-hood of figure swapping (in which the seller and/or buyer isn't aware of this ahead of time) is increased whether you get the figure(s) in a brick & mortar store or online. |

Could see an "Archives" type thing, but none of the windowless releases have really been high price on the secondary market to explain that (which was the original purpose of Black Series Archives).
I'd rather have an Archives Line of stuff like say Redeco Duke, CI Trooper and Infantry, CI Bludd, CI Firefly, etc. Stuff that has held it's value on the secondary market. |

Personally I never worry about figure swapping when buying online unless I'm buying from an "Amazon Warehouse" type place. Are there etailers that sell returned product without labeling as such??
