Do you guys think the APs will be in clam-shell packaging like SW and WH:Conquest or will we see nice cardboard-boxes as in the older LCGs?

Probably clamshell packaging. More than likely all of the LCGs are going to head that way.

It's funny, because just today FFG posted this article for Netrunner, announcing that Netrunner will also switch to the Clamshells. I really loved the cardboard packaging and always kept all the packs...which I won't do with the clamshell packs obviously.

So ffg saves money for packaging...but what do we gain?

Edit: Drunk. (It's Friday, yeay!)

While I liked the cardboard packaging, I don't care in the least bit the packaging in which I receive my cards.

If it saves them money, then hopefully that means they can allocate it toward the quality of the product itself!

I too liked keeping the boxes, but switching to clamshell is by no means a make or break deal for me. It's definitely going to be cheaper for FFG.
