Yea they used the same big ass flimsy cardboard for all my small lego sets as well. To compensate the huge space, they fill with a few brown paper and lazy sloppy ass bubble wrap the lego box.
They even used their own Kerry labeled tape to seal the box, they seem proud of it when the tape is as weak as a small cellophane tape on a big box.

God dang! Felt bad for Lego as the problem is with Kerry. But the one kena bash is normally Lego, especially when it comes to late deliveries + dented boxes. Yup the same for me. super sloppy cellophane tape, like sampah liddat. Thankfully the cleaner didn't put it in the refuse room!

I still blame Lego though, they have so many reviews telling them of the poor packaging/logistics but they didn't bother to change. For smaller/cheaper sets i'm no longer going to choose them anymore.
I just returned 3 of my orders, Transformers, Back to the Future & Tantive. I rebought the Transformers from the physical Lego shop, RM100 more expensive but at least the box condition is 99% great. Will be looking to rebuy back the Back to the future set from other sellers online...

Ah, wasn't aware of the complaints, so yeah I blame Lego as well. After all, the product doesn't come cheap (compared to those China rip-offs), so they should pick better logistics partners. I am thankful my product came with no damage, but I can relate to others (including you) for getting less-than-perfect products.

On a separate note, anyone getting the 42167? There's a claim that Lego copies the product design from a Lego IDEAS that was submitted in 2018 (which was obviously not approved, else it wouldn't be an issue)

What a coincidence, I actually bought the 42167 for my kid. I got it just to reach RM500 with my 75379 to get the RM150 discount. Really made my 75379 cheap, both total at RM342.92 - equivalent to a discounted 75379 and a free 42167 lol

The irony is that the 42167 box was in perfect condition (which my 3yr old kid wouldn't care), but my 75379 box was a bit crap (which I care...) rolleyes.gif

Pretty sweet deal!

This is a general question meant for everyone. But can I know what's the appeal in keeping the box? I think to display it behind the assembled unit?
I tried keeping them, but would soon run out of space, so end up throwing it out.

Perhaps the reason is to re-sell, and I see there's 2nd hand market in FB, but many of those are NIBs. I mean, how can I compete when those NIBs are selling vs. mine which has been opened and assembled sweat.gif

Haha some are box collectors? Used price even with good condition boxes are no where near NIB prices either way, so i think most keep the boxes just for collection.
I have a backlog since 2017 after building my UCS MF, mainly due to lack of space to display. So don't talk about boxes, even my Lego sets don't have space sweat.gif
Because of that i would most likely only keep those which fulfill several criteria - limited edition/rare/special collab? great artwork + unboxing experience?
In that sense, i would definitely keep the UCS boxes, Transformers & Back to the future.

Sorry, newbie question…. Why is the box appearance of such importance? Are you buying to keep?

Usually, the perfect box one is for sale to the next person. Some Lego's go up in prices so if perfect box then more value. Some Lego sets has the outer brown box for shipping. If got those can ask more also.

Some people buy to build and keep. Some buy for investment.

Just buy from Shopee during sales, usually can get around 40% off.
I bought seriously too many Lego SW this past 1/2 year, more than 30 sets all still sealed sweat.gif

I bought the UCS Interceptor for RM576 from Shopee. Was cheaper at Lazada, but when I went to check Shopee price then went back to Lazada it was already sold out 😓
So I had to buy from Shopee instead, still a good price but not the best..

But overall the discount was quite disappointing compared to 6.6. I regretted not getting the Venator then, so cheap at around RM1.5k+
