* InspirationForTheWork: The idea for the series was born of Jeff Harter's childhood fascination with space and science-fiction (particularly the term "Planet X") and him looking through some of the old novelty toy ads once commonly found in comic books.



** When Harter first conceived the series' concept (inspired by old novelty toy ads found in comic books and his childhood fascination with space and science-fiction, particularly the term "Planet X"), he originally wanted it to be a full-length animated feature. As a result, his early designs for Dan, Troll, and Amanda were much less cartoony, and the characters were originally going to be much younger, with Dan in particular going to be a very nerdy character.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[http://jeffharter.blogspot.com/2014/03/packages-from-planet-x-idea.html This post from Jeff Harter's blog]] reveals quite a lot of interesting information about the series' development process.

** Originally, there were to be two rival comic shop owners involved in the main trio's adventures and interactions with the eponymous packages. One was an eccentric mentor-type character for the trio who gave them bizarre comic book-inspired advice in an effort to help them despite his nonexistent understanding of the packages, and the other was going to be the antagonist trying to use the packages for his own evil purposes. These two characters eventually became Uncle Rory and Copernicus.
** One early concept was of a three-faced tiki named Thriki that was sent to Dan as a sort of "instruction manual" for the packages he received, coming to life at inopportune times to give conflicting advice about the packages from each of its faces in a monotone voice. In the final product, Thriki was replaced with [=CuRT=].
