Hi, can i check with you how did the packaging arrive? Was the kit packed inside an Amazon box and was it much bigger than the actual lego box size?PS: Thanks for the helpful answers so far. I noticed that the external package size varies significantly. I was hoping that they use boxes that are just about the same size as the lego box. Any idea if this can be requested on order? Thanks.

Hi Andy, yes the kit was packed inside an Amazon and it was pretty much the same size as the kit's box. It arrived with the Lego box completely undamaged. Hope that answers your question.

Well, my memory isn't perfect because it was a little while ago. But I think the kit was packaged inside an Amazon box that wasn't much bigger and there was some padding around it to keep it from shifting (I think it was brown paper, but my boyfriend thinks it was some air pillows- like I said- it was a while back). The box itself was in good shape when it arrived.

The kit arrived in a big blue Amazon gift sack inside a much larger box that was packed with wads of paper to keep it from shuffling about. I had no idea what it was when it arrived in the Amazon box and the actual Lego box was pristine. Hope this helps.

The outer Amazon Box was bigger and had maybe an inch or so of crinkled paper padding. The actual Lego box was in good shape.

Yes, the LEGO box was inside a larger Amazon box, but the external box wasn't significantly larger in my case. And there was some paper packing material, if I remember correctly.

The package the box arrived in was significantly larger than the item packaging.As for requesting more appropriate packaging, you'll have to ask Amazon.

Yes the kit was in an Amazon box that was a little larger than the kit. If I remember correctly it had the large bubbles on two sides the length and width. Was not overly big like some of the things I have recieved.

Box arrived in outstanding condition - no damage at all. In terms of size the box is huge! Probably almost 3 feet X 1foot X 2foot. Packing box was massive haha

It doesn't come in the original fisher price package. It just comes in a cardboard box. I was giving it to my son for his birthday so I just wrapped the cardboard box but it did seem a little strange not getting any of the original packaging.

I do not remember exactly what the exact size the box was, but I think that it was approximately 18 inches long and 6 to 7 inches deep. The weight was very little, so little that it did not create a problem. A suggestion, take toy out of the box it came in and obtain a prepaid box from the post office to ship it in. When I was overseas, friends and family used this method to ship things to me. I would highly recommend this method for shipping. The post office will assist you as to the size you will need. It might even be cheaper. I hope I was of some assistance.

The size and weight of original box is small and not too heavy. But, Amazon put the box inside of another huge box. This external huge box is big and heavy. I think Amazon tries to protect the item.

It arrives in a box that is about 3" to 5" bigger on the sides and maybe 1" bigger on the main face of the box. However this does not necessarily mean your Lego box will come in perfect condition, it still gets knocked around or the box may have slight blemishes on it prior to packing. But for the most part usually it comes in a very good acceptable condition, as far as crinkling or squashed boxes are concerned.

Wonder if they were the bricks made from China then. There's a forum on Brickset.com that tries to point out the differences between the bricks manufactured in China vs. the ones in Denmark or elsehwere. Would be a little disappointed too if the minifig is manufactured in China too (the Collectible figures are).

Hi... confused by question because there's not much information... Are you buying new? I purchased new and it was in the box. I needed to put it together. I didn't have an issue with the size of the box, but I don't remember if that was because we took it into our basement through double doors. I DO remember that the box was VERY heavy... Jay S.

If you buy it new the box will be new. Amazon ships it in a good cardboard box with bubblewrap inside. All of my Figuarts bought this way have pristine boxes.

It appears to me that the seller (not Amazon) jacked up the price for those to over 8.00 each. Nice of them to take advantage of the season. If you can't find them on Amazon.com for 2.99each I would purchase from lego directly. Unfortunately you still have to pay shipping so that option is depending on how many you want to buy and if the seller on Amazon is doing free shipping. Not worth getting it from anyone else unless Amazon has it for 3.00 and with prime shipping. Hope this helps some. I purchased a lot of lego and you have to be careful of who you buy from on Amazon as they can grossly overcharge you.

Really it's just preference: How many pieces, size, design, etc. One of the biggest deciding factors for me is what minifigures the set comes with. Also you might want to check when the set gets retired. If it gets retired soon it will increase in price/value/availability pretty quickly afterwards. Also another big thing is if a set is currently kn sale. You can save a lot and get more Lego if you pay attention to sales. I hope this helped you out!

No -- it is not an "official" Lego product (at least there was no branding information on the molds I received). Lego has a mold on their website..can't remember which one.

Even i got in a whitebox with scratches on the product, why is amazon fooling everyone ? Anyways I am returning mainly because it was not fitting and keeps getting lose. But i am shocked to see others too complain .. is amazon trying to slip in bulk as retail ? Come on be true atleast, the box has a sticker which says "retail package" , how can a white box be retail ?

Hello Ernestine, I did not see your question previously. If the box was not taped, then Amazon may have sent you a return that was not inspected properly... Please email me at ed@imaginationoverdrive.com with your address and I will send you a new kit... Very sorry for the inconvenience!!

It comes in a amazon box. It's just that my son didn't like it. It might work or it might not. It's what you think okay.

Ive been hearing mixed answers on how this items comes so I contacted amazon directly and they said " I am sorry to know that you received a multiple answer regarding packing of item. I've checked and confirmed that you will received the item in Plastic bag and I assure you you will get the genuine product. However if you not received the item in Plastic bag or see any discrepancy please write back to us we will issue a refund or assist you accordingly "

I have never noticed any thing like that on the outside of the box but I have never looked either. It just comes in a big generic brown box. I have another one on its way I will pay attention and try to re answer the question when it get here.

Elise,I am sorry I do not quite understand your question. Were you asking "how big are the Lite Brix people?" If his is the case then I would have to say that I do not know. Neither of the sets that I have purchased have people or what you think may be akin to LEGO's MiniFigs. I hope this helps with your question.Just a note, if you are contemplating buying a set, I cannot recommend them ... they are very poor quality compared to LEGOs. If you still want to pursue purchasing them though, Toys'R Us generally has the sets on sale for as much as 40% off. I do not think that they are big sellers due to the quality and word spreads fast.Hope this answers your question and a little bit more. Elise,I am sorry I do not quite understand your question.
