I think most of the box toys were on trees and needed to be assembled.
That said as Graham points out Hasbro did it with the Gi Joe Stalker.
I think a Silent attack card would have been quality!
If I had the skills of Paulitoy I would definitely make my own.
Not sure how you would even begin to make or source the bubble though.

Yep, Palitoy ditched the large carded style for 1984, and reissued the Sat Daf, Stingray and Boat Patrol as boxed versions. At the same time they replaced all of the 1983 'window' boxes with full card variants.

As it was much cheaper to manufacture.

Also sturdier and less prone to the poking fingers of wayward children.

Received my boxed Casdon Assault course today. The box is very tatty but it is such a great set. I love the painted Action Force figures on the cover.
