: Any idea where I can purchase LLadro replacement boxes? LLadro-
USA used to supply them, but not any longer ( I checked today). Any
reference/information will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Lara, long story short, it's been a few years since Lladro has offered
replacement boxes. When I was last able to get some they were giving
away generic boxes. They would ask you for the figure number if it
was still in production or the dimensions for retired pieces and then
ship boxes from Moonachie NJ. While nice to have, these boxes are not
necessary as any good box will suffice for most figures. Intricate
groups with particular packaging inserts and mechanisms are another
story. Personally I have found that for flowerwork and most Lladro a
firm new box overfilled with styrofoam peanuts does the job for
storage, additional double boxing works well for shipping. There are
some pieces I wouldn't trust to anything but hand carrying. I
remember from my childhood watching my uncle open packages newly
arrived from Spain, in the early years figures had appendages and
fingers tightly wrapped in coiled tissue paper and the boxes were filled
with straw/hay like wooden fibers. There were no packing inserts on
those early pieces and that straw/hay deteriorated over the years.
Good luck and let us know if you find any more info.
