I like the things I collect to be as asymmetrical as possible.
Yup, the asymmetry is cool as well
Okay, I'll break it down for why I like it so much:
-
It's very sleek. Every line before SAGA2 has either been boring (SAGA1, for an example) or lame IMO (ROTS, for an example...yes, that's right I didn't like the ROTS packaging). This packaging isn't boring, and I don't think it's lame at all.
-
I love the beat-up look. I think the weathering and scratches on the coin area and the words look pretty cool.
-
More of the card is dedicated to the actual character. In basically all the other lines, half of the card is the same on EVERY FIGURE, and then the other half is different. Like how on SAGA2, every figure's top half of the card is identical, but the bottom half is unique. I like how on this new card, most of the card is depicting the character itself rather than the logo of the line.
-
The shape of the card is a twist that I like! On every single card of all the past lines (EXCEPT for ROTS) the card is a rectangle. A simple, boring rectangle. Oh but wait! On the SAGA2 cards, there is a CURVE on the corners! OMG! Now it's just
mostly a rectangle!
Now on the new card, it's a brand new look that hasn't been seen before. I love it.

It's totally unique. Kinda like I said in the above paragraph, it's a completely new twist. The color is different, the bubble shape will be different, almost EVERYTHING is different.
There you have it. That's why I love the new packaging. If you don't want to buy the figures because of how "bad" they look, feel free to do so. All that means is that there's more for me on the pegs!
