LEGO Star Wars Planet Series: Watch out for packaging !!!

If what we can see on these visuals of the series 1 boxes of the range Planet Series published by grogall is confirmed, we have a big problem ...

It seems from these images that the planets come out of the front of the packaging and are not protected by any plastic overlay. The planet is directly accessible and will necessarily be subject to many hazards.

Between transport, storage, various manipulations by store employees and less scrupulous customers, you will have to be very careful when purchasing these sets. The risk of falling on a planet that has suffered damage or degradation of its surface and / or its screen printing will be great if we are not vigilant.

I don't quite understand how LEGO could decide not to protect the planet on this packaging which is still very attractive and well thought out. A simple transparent plastic dome would have been sufficient. Especially since the interest in touching this piece of plastic is limited: it is not a product whose tactile sensation that it provides makes it possible to validate the purchase decision.

These photos appear to be the most recent versions of these products and may therefore show their final packaging. LEGO has accustomed us to producing relatively protective and secure packaging. This attempt to put plastic within reach is surely the result of intensive marketing thinking in Billund, but it seems that the constraints of transport, storage and distribution were not necessarily taken into account.

We will see during the actual marketing of these products whether these packaging have evolved, but it will be necessary to be extremely vigilant to avoid a huge disappointment.
