***UPDATED!! [ i can't get in my package! ]

***UPDATED EDIT BELOW ORIGINAL POST:

sooooooo... i buy oscar a toy for his birthday... & need dynamite to get the packaging off!! why oh why do all these packages need to be wired up with 3 million pieces of wire & plastic bits & pieces. is this some sort of ploy to make extra jobs?

all i know is that it makes my life really difficult when you have a 4 year old unable to contain his excitement while i'm untwisting as fast as i can to free the object from it's box!!

that is someones job to twist all those wires... & i swear whoever twists them - twists them the opposite way you'd go on purpose!!

the packaging i detest are those plastic 'shells' that are impossible to open without the aid of a circular or chain saw! & those so & so's are sharp! i wonder if they make these like this so, god forbid, you need to return it you've opened the packaging.

some flat pack furniture gives spanners or allen keys with the bag of nuts & bolts to help you put them together... these boxes should be giving mini wire cutters!

there should be new labeling too ~ instead of 'assembly', it should read 'dis assembly' required!!

***UPDATED!!!!

soooooo... i still can not believe this packaging!! it was christmas day yesterday so we had a 'few' items to remove from their boxes! WOW!! ok so there were the expected 2 million twisty wire ties, industrial tape & cable ties but this is a first for me... we got oscar & flynn a truck each that actually had to be UNSCREWED from their boxes, but not with a regular sized screw driver an unusual little one!! it took around 10 minutes to get everything out.

but finally.... we received matchbox vehicles & they have it right... it was secured in the box but was very easy to remove without any tools! HOORAY!!!
