Bought straight from Lego almost 20 years ago they sat inside a large plastic airtight container, then inside a cardboard box then inside the official Lego sealed bag snd then in a little cardboard container they used to put them in. I have a small number of them in different colors and just got them out to take pictures to post. Crisp as can be and never used. First time they’ve been out of that bag in almost 20 years since lego sealed them! i have other colors. Buy multiples for one shipment.
