Dear Lego: PLEASE stop making the boxes for larger sets with a thin piece of cardboard that is "taped" over the sectioned display cases. I'm the kind of Lego collector that likes to store my sets in their original boxes. When moving these boxes from (...) (26 years ago, 22-Oct-98, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Heh heh, I feel pretty weird now -- I have Zip-Loc bags on the *outside* of some of my boxes -- so that when I move them, I don't scratch them against each other. I do build and play with all my pieces, but I want the artwork on the boxes to (...) (26 years ago, 26-Oct-98, to lugnet.storage)

As a general "life note to the wise": If they don't specifically TELL you that the item in question is acid-free/archival quality/whatever, IT ISN'T. And you would notice a price difference; i.e. the cheap card sheets as opposed to the UltraPRO (...) (25 years ago, 5-Mar-99, to lugnet.storage)
