Jeaks,

Cool, if I’m ever down under I will let you know. Yes, we figured this would be strickly a Collector purchase don’t take out of package purchase. Again, it was just a cost thing. Love to get down one day

Mattel wood authorize the extra expense thinking we wood not pony up the extra coin…so they went classy but not cheap!! Martin has done an AWESOME job on this and the case is not the reason to buy it anyways!

Martin for the record I have no problems if the exclusive is not in an acrylic case. Hell it could come in glad wrap and I’d still take it. Mat has pommie blood in him so he was just having a whinge and I was just having a lend of him.

Mat actually said to me when he came over to get his Kmart case that he still wants one. Although I’d would point out that Mat is an opener so it does beg the question of why he even cares what kind of packaging it comes in. I on the other hand keep mine in the package, buy my two boys one each and play with theirs.

Just remember Martin if you come to Australian then you have to visit us (me & Mat live on the West side which is superior to the rest of Australia but since Matt is such a whinger you can just visit me and forget about him.

Mat/Jeaks,

Intially I proposed the molded acrylic case, I evem handmsde one myself as a mock up to show. However, it would have been more than what they wanted to charge, the $30

I don’t control the price point, I just have to hit whatever that price is with something compelling. That’s when Packaging stepped in with the less expensive diorama with try me LED’s.

So far no one who has seen this has said they would have preferred a acrylic case
