Lego Packaging with 7263 TIE Fighter
Thursday, January 12th, 2006
Has anyone noticed the box on the 7263 Tie Fighter how thick the cardboard is, and the fact it also has a thick cardboard inner frame as well? I’ve never seen a Lego box this well produced.
Compared to, say, the 7259 ARC-170 Starfighter (I couldn’t help but buy two of these, they’re so amazingly detailed, with real moving attack wings) or the 6205 V-Wing Fighter (which is sitting next to my ARC-170 now), they use normal boxes. Was the thicker boxing just for the 2005 Classic line of Star Wars kits or what?
