Super nostalgia!!!!


Nostalgia is obviously the biggest factor for this kind of product.


However there are some collectors who like the art/packaging. Super7's ReAction line is an example of this collector. A significant portion of collectors, of that line, seem to keep them on card for display.


Personally I like the retro cardbacks from the different lines. Especially ML where they call back to different eras of toys with their different retro cards.


So while I like the idea with Classified, I lean more towards Robimus' take. I like the Classified boxes for ease of opening/repacking. Also they have some of the best art of any current retail line.


However I'll probably still cave and get at least some of the retro carded figures.
