Your favorite box design...
« on: September 21, 2011, 23:31:20 »
Okay, here we go - didn't manage to fix it, although I gave it my best shot.
I managed to dig out these two pics from my photo album...

90's box..

Current box...


Sorry, I don't have any pics of boxes from the 80's and 70's, although you guys know what they look like, right?

Please tell my you're favorite box design!
Thanks!

my first thought is definitely mid-late 80s though

all the boxes of mid 80's to mid90's were masterpieces  :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:  it's hard to choose one  :-\

5310
 
 
 
3054

 
 
5551

My favourites are the old boxes with dioramas at the back.

New boxes like the top agents theme and the new pirates are cool too.... but in other kind of way.
I miss the great dioramas! Those were the best propaganda ever! When I saw them as a child I wanted all the sets in them... pretty catchy it was!  :lol:

mid 80's and 90's are by far the best

the current boxes are ridicously big, unnattractive (many of them don't even do justice to the sets) and not as creative as before (too much photo shop)
Enjoy the elegance and fun of 1900 with The Victorians photo story! :gent: ;D :sherlock:
