I ordered some wave 10 from HTS and some star cases for my mib figures and when my order got to me I was rather upset. After sdcc last year I ordered an extra cc in black suit and he showed up at my house in a star case. Doc also arrived in a start case for the mail away offer. Why do the single figs on HTS cost 7.99 (when MSRP is 6.99) and they dont even ship the figures in star cases. Luckily nothing was damaged but what if. Im relying on HTS so I dont go out hunting for this shit and they dont even protect them? WTF HASBRO, the majority of your online buisness has to be collectors and your rubbing them wrong....
stepping off my soapbox now...

yeah but the singles in stores don't come in star cases so why so angry? it would just add extra money to the price if everyone had a star case. as for me, i open all my stuff so star cases in this case are just a waste of plastic.

^^^ Yeah, what he said. They don't get shipped to retail stores in star cases so I don't see why they have to do it for online purchases. Heck, none of the online stores I know of do that. If you want MOSC figures, you should order from a website that caters to that sort of collecting. And even then, I doubt they'd ship in star cases. They would just pack it more carefully.

What i think he's getting at is we are paying more (7.99) versus retail in the first place, and these products are coming directly from the proverbial horse's mouth.
I can see his point, but I personally don't sweat it.

Im glad you understand. Ya I had never ordered wave singles before from HTS (just sdcc exclusives) so I assumed all figures shipped came in star cases. My mistake, I just figured that was what the extra dollar was for.

Yeah, that would be nice for MOC collectors. Kind of like how BBTS has the option for "Collector Grade", I think it would be nice as an option on HTS, but, it really wouldn't make sense to include them regularly, because then folks who open them would be paying for something they don't need
