[QUOTE="naughtyjedi, post: 305453, member: 5395"] These containers were only used for shipping, not long term storage, so there might be a valid reason to open the box and break out the loveliness inside on the basis of cardboard lacquer coating deteriorating, or mould or something I could totally fabricate in my mind to justify opening the flippin thing. Star wars packaging is an art in its beauty, you wouldn't buy a Picasso and keep it in the shipping container. Sure the box and its contents has some 'almost' kitch-style mass produced Warhol artyness to it, but as a kid I never related to the shipping container which I never saw. It was about the colour, the image of the play item, the film I loved and wanted part of in my hands. The actual item box. The box can still be preserved and some loopy loo can put it into acrylic for grading, but release the beauty within.. let the figures out and let us look upon them with our own eyes. [/QUOTE]
