I opened up the Crystal Beast set to verify the contents. Does anyone know how to preserve that lovely artwork on the packaging when cutting it open? I'd like the bags to all stay in one piece from now on.

I use an XACTO knife and cut above the ziplock on the back while making sure it doesn't cut through the front.

@JekPorkchops Thanks a lot for letting me know! I actually don't live in England, but actually far from it, in Texas.

I would love to go England some day, though, because it sounds like a very nice place to visit.

I've looked on Ebay for Invasion from Below, but there aren't many good deals, to be quite honest. Any other online stores you'd recommend?

I googled the store you mentioned, that's why I thought you lived in England. I can't say I can recommend stores since I'm not American. The only overseas online store I use is Amazon, but price-wise that's as bad as Ebay. There are a ton of those online stores here in the Netherlands, so you should try to find a good local store online or just keep searching for the products you want. I also got some of these sets on a Dutch Ebay-type of site where most sellers don't really understand the value of some of the sealed sets, which is great for me. There's also Bricklink. Deals come and go there so I recommend checking frequently. Maybe you should try other marketplace sites with individual vendors.

This method has been mentioned a couple of posts back but thanks anyway. It works very well.
