I contacted LEGO Germany about

1.) Big box for small content
2.) Danger of scratches due to poor wrapping (bubble wrap bag would do the
job!)
3.) No posibility to import/export missons without (general) internet access
from that PC to the WEB. (I do not want my boys (6+8) to access the internet
on their own)

They promissed reply.
