(...) My goodness. What is WRONG at eToys??? They weren't this silly previously. Have they changed fulfillment software? I don't get it. I can remember getting things from eToys in the past that were packed SOMEWHAT more sensibly. Not always the (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I ordered a Silver Champion (8458) from Etoys, and it came in a huge box, slid in vertically/diagonally across the box corners, with brown paper crammed on both sides of it. The bags and parts had moved around quite a bit, and the bottom of (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

They, of course, wouldn't fit in my car, so I unpacked (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Well my postman did bring them but asked "Never do this to me again" he was only half kidding I think. I then told him what was in them and unpacked one and he was similarly shocked!

The nice thing about the buckets ONCE YOU HAVE THEM, is that you can compact 2.5 buckets into one, so those 40 will end up being 16 buckets. And if you just throw them in a cardboard box, you can cram them into a decently small box. I still have 16 (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) 20 Buckets fit nicely (without *any* packaging) into 3 tubs, with space left over.... There's where the waste starts - original packaging at LEGO. Perhaps EToys is just continuing the LEGO practice. -Jon (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
