The XP-21f skystriker is set to come out this fall, the box art is somewhat bland, when compared to the old XP-14f box which explodes off the box. Hasbro did classic remakes of the old box art for the SW line, do you think it would work here? Not a photograph in a dio mind you, but the final concept exploding off the box. The colors were bright and red was prevalent to grab the consumer's attention, this cool blue just makes me feel like Joe is getting the cold shoulder. Although I do totally dig the dio pic on the back of the box of the aircraft on the deck of a FLAGG----a new FLAGG dio just for the photo but still, its cool to see.

I don't like the new card or box art for the 30th line at all, just blaw looking at best. The card art looks better than the box art though, not by much.
I understand they used the classic look for the 25th line and wouldn't want to have the same look for the 30th too, but I wouldn't complain if they did. If you are purely an opener, the box/card art shouldn't matter at all but if you keep the card and or box to display with the opened figures/vehicles, then the art might be a factor. If you are a MOC/MIB collector, that is probably where the art will be the biggest complaint then, it does look bland compared to even the RoC stuff which many downright loathed the look of. The 30th vehicle art kind of reminds me of the later 1990's vehicles that had blaw colors and plain looking boxes too. Also, how can you compare the 25th Target Rattler/Conquest to the new 30th Skystriker box art? Not even close at all.

I thought I read somewhere that the 30th packaging was going to go back to the classic style & match the 25th line. But then they showed us the shit we're getting. I want classic all the way.

Has anyone figured out the correct size star-case for ROC and POC?

I like the classic better but I'm fine with this box for some reason. I don't plan on keeping it MIB.

I was a little hesitant on ROC packaging and POC is by far my favorite but I am a new is new guy. At least were getting a blue Cobra Commander this year.

I'm really rather indifferent when it comes to the art. Don't get me wrong -- I like the art of old, but I'm not gonna sweat it one way or another. I mainly open, but I do keep cards also.
