So i was at toys r us yesterday and found the wave 9 figures. Funny thing is that they were all creased on the top left edge of the cards in the same direction. I thought maybe this was done in the case, but then i realized the figures are flip flopped in the case and there is no way this could have happened on the same edge in the same direction. Has anyone seen this before?

There was a guy who worked at TRU who was doing that to Transformers and he was fired on the spot. But I have never seen that happen to Joes.

When I found my BAT's, Bazooka, Hawk, and Snow Serpents at about 4am at Wal-Mart, the new figures all had a pretty severe crease, like the person that put them out did it. It doesn't matter to me because I open them, but it would have been devastating if I kept them MOC.

I guess this would also be a tactic for the same ppl that hide joes.

I always try to keep 1 MOC and 1 to open up and display (unless it's an army builder), so it's not a big deal to me, unless it's a figure that I don't want to open. I have seen this at a few TRUs, seems like employees trying to mess with collectors. Or, it could be a serial card bender on the loose.

When I worked at Walmart there was a guy that did that to cans of soup and vegetables. The manager had a meeting and said that this got him, 'hot'. I had to keep myself from laughing in his face. This, from a guy that looks like Lars Ulrich, plus 200 pounds.
