When I bought a 4757 when thay went on sale at Wally-the-walrus-mart last year,
I asked an associate why LEGO boxes no longer hav windows, she answered someting
like, "Because kids would tear the windows and steal the elements". Mini
smash-and-grab? I remember being a damaged LEGO set window once at TRU in the
early '90s.
