With full credit to @monkey_roo who posted his pics first (https://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/threads/here-comes-the-ghost.45464/), I thought I would go the full unboxing route, as I did with Boba Fett's Throne Room (https://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/threads/boba-fetts-throne-room-unboxing.44426/).
First off, and as mentioned in @monkey_roo's thread above, the thing is f*cking huge! The outer packing box is 32 x 34 x 13.5 inches and weighs a back-breaking 22.5 KG! A kid's toy this most certainly is not! Inside the outer mailing box is a second, inner mailing box, complete with internal stiff card edge protectors, and tough plastic corner protectors (all this packing material / protection weighs approximately 6 KG by itself!). Inside that second mailing box, is The Ghost box itself. And inside that are 4 further boxes containing the ship, accessories and carded figures.

And that's it! I have very mixed feelings about this. It's certainly a great likeness, and the figures are terrific. However, in truth the thing is simply too big (and heavy!) for most collectors to display. I am lucky to have a lot of display space available to me, but even I don't have room for it
. Perhaps one day I will, but for now (figures aside), this will not go on display, but rather into storage... which is a crying shame considering what it cost!
So 10/10 for Hasbro for the design, but only 1/10 for the practicality of the thing.
