Seeing this, and that I had this thought for an entry, I thought I'd share my thoughts:

Seeing as how the Mahri containers are more so a box with plastic edging than a canister that can hold your set or whatever else you want, it seems pointless to me to have this useless plastic edging around a box. Wouldn't it save Lego more money to just put the sets in boxes if they really didn't want canisters?

The canisters are great because they can hold the set (or pieces, in my case). I'm even using the Barraki canisters even though they are weird shaped. But the rounded tubes or even the triangle Rahkishi cans are fine IMO. (But they all fit together nicely side by side more than the Inika canisters do)

My point is Lego should think about storage or money. Round canisters to store the sets or plain boxes (maybe with a nice metallic finish like the 07 Exo-Force...) to save money on plastics, maybe which could go toward a higher piece count in the sets.

I mean, who wants some of that gross chili spoiling a good finger?
