While I agree to an extent, I must say that I really dislike the current
packaging. They are truly insufficient, as cheap as possible. I really
like slide-out boxes (The Jango Fett's Slave 1) and the "lift top off"
boxes, which large sets utilized until 95 or so. The single opening flap
boxes that started with the Explorien Starship stink, and some current large
sets frankly simply do not have proper sufficient packaging. The UCS boxes
are all falling apart at the store.
