Then sets like 3052 and 3053 appeared on the shelves with a much stronger
paperboard that was 100 sealed, not just held closed by two little • adhesive

Are you sure only those two sets were available with strong paperboard in
the US? I have boxes with strong paperboard for all the following sets:
3052, 3551, 3554, 4162, 4930, 5919, 6083, 6454, 6477, 6907, 7130, 7140,
8001, 8238, 8520, just to name a few I know for sure. I bought all of them
in Germany though, but I don't see any reason why TLC should use a different
system here. Also, 7171 included three boxes which were all made of strong
paperboard. I think this new method is a standard for medium sets only, I

but I am already used to it.

The issue of poor packaging for retail Lego sets has bothered me for some time. I remember the days gone by ('cause I still have all the boxes) when TLC packaged the larger sets in styrofoam-lined boxes with plasic insert trays. These were the good (...)
