Yea, in all my 10+ years of Lazada/Shopee shopping, i've never seen such bad packaging & consistent too..
I've bought from other shops, e.g. Bricks Smart, Brickmonster, tftoy, etc - ALL great & neat packaging, and the Lego boxes were 99% great condition.

Reason i went for the "Official" Lego shop is the huge discount which went up to 40-50%. Really big savings, but if you plan to collect and keep the Lego box, definitely the last choice.

Interestingly the "bigger" & more "expensive" sets came in a more sturdier packaging and taped better as well, e.g. UCS AT-AT & Rivendell.  (Handled by Mapletree Logistics)
The rest of my "cheaper" sets, e.g. Transformer, Back to the Future, a few 20th Anni Star Wars set all were horrible. (Handled by Kerry Integrated (Malaysia) SB)

Conclusion, Kerry Integrated is the worse logistics ever. If you have any parcels you see with their sticker/stamp, pray whatever is in your parcel is in good condition...

Funny that you mentioned Kerry. I received my Lego small set yesterday, super late (order placed on 5/6, shipped on 6/6). & when it arrived, it came in this huge-ass box. Wah sai how can like this? So I rummage through the box, found my Lego...... and a 48pcs size M baby diapers! Addressed to another person, who isn't even in the same block, nor in the same residence!

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!

If you have Lego 75252 i am interested
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
