I know this is not really an investment question, but why do the American Boxes have the piece count and set name on them, where as the Boxes we get here in the UK do not, any special reasons?

A week ago I got a box that had no peice count and was freaking out because all our boxes here in the US have that info on the left hand side of the box. Talking to another MOD he told me there is no difference in the sets, and it doesn't affect he secondary market price either way. We didn't discuss the reasoning behind it though.

It is due to some rules and regulations regarding the toy industry. And also the crowd pushes it; parents like seeing it, ect. I think it is more aesthetically pleasing without all that "junk" on the side too.
