[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 487904, member: 7379"] You make a very good point, Lars! Most of the ships (and even beasts) were issued in more than one logoed box / packaging, as of course were the figures, but other than the Empire boxed Kenner Droid Factory, I can't think of any playset which saw a reissue in a later film's packaging (please correct me here, Forum members if I am missing any! :-)). You could argue that each playset was specific to one film and that's why they weren't reissued in a later film's packaging, but of course that argument doesn't even begin to add up when we see the Sandcrawler reissued in an Empire box, and the Tauntaun & Wampa reissued in ROJ packaging, etc.. If it did, those things should never have been reissued, yet they were, so why weren't the playsets? I will say that at least here in the UK, when the new Empire toys came out, some of the older Star Wars toys, including playsets, were still available alongside the new stuff. However, to the very best of my knowledge, even though appeared side by side on the shelves and in leaflets like the one below, the older toys still came in Star Wars logoed packaging: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Old Toys, New Catalogue.jpg"]45103._xfImport[/ATTACH] And in answer to your question, no unfortunately the bags are not factory sealed :-( [/QUOTE]
