Brad,

I've gotten a few "special" sets, 1775 and 2149 in particular, that are
densely packed in order to take up as little storage space as possible.  It
would be nice if TLC would start to package ALL of their sets this way.

Almost all of the 1999 sells are simply apalling in the wasted
paper/cardboard in their packaging.  I'm not a diehard environmental nut or
anything, but I think it's ridiculous when I buy multiples of a 1999 set,
and can fit 2-4 sets in ONE box without seriously cramming them in there.

While I would guess that they are being packaged in larger boxes in order
to sell better (Bigger is Better), I think that the new boxes are wasteful
of resources, and they simply take up too much room when storing them.

Please relay to the Packaging people that many of us would appreciate
denser packaging.

   Haven't companies been sued for misleading packaging before?  Aren't
there laws about this, or do they only relate to food products?  I've
noticed that potato chips seem to be coming in bigger bags recently, too,
and have to wonder if some(whichever) government agency is slacking.  I
agree with you Tom, the huge boxes definitely need downsizing.
