If I bought a piece advertised as 'MIB' (mint in box) which originally came with a molded insert, but the sale did not include the insert, I would judge the piece as misrepresented.
Tim - I believe some HLs were first shipped in loose 'peanuts' and later shipped to molded inserts. Perhaps we can get Art to start a new series of threads on which items had loose foam nuggets (mmm, mmm, good!) and which had hard inserts.
BTW, I notice lately that the foam inserts have raised bands around the outside, providing about 1/4" of 'air' between the outer box and the rest of the hard insert. I think this is a good idea.
