Good toy, but environmentally clueless

K'Nex makes good toys but over-packages in the extreme. In this set, some of the individual pieces (such as the eyes and feet) were individually wrapped in plastic, then put into a larger plastic bag with other pieces, which in turn was put into a display box that was 2 or 3 times bigger than necessary. That had been shipped individually to Amazon individually in a snugly-fitting brown box, which Amazon shipped to me in yet a far larger box. Surely, if they wanted to, the companies involved could reduce the environmental cost of all this. That said, it is fun, creative, and mostly sturdy. (The eyes, less so.)
