Improved Protection on Wave 4 Comic Packs

Well I made my score today of the new Waves of Comic Packs and wanted to get Copper Head out ASAP, and noticed that the Comics were in a Sealed Baggie now. this is Great news as no more scalpers and thiefs stealing DOC stickers or any future promotions, as the Sealed DOC offer with Sticker is INSIDE the pages of the comics....... Here are the pics of my findings.....

won't do any good. you can still open the pack, remove the comic from the wrapper, remove the DOC stuff, put the comic back in the package and return it. if stores can't tell when packages have been open, when figures have been swapped, or when other items have been removed, how are they supposed to know that the comic inside it was wrapped in plastic?

won't be ANY good? that's a bit of an overstatement, don't you think? Are you telling me that you don't think an additional sealed bag will keep just ONE thief from snagging a POP sticker?

And Bolo has wave 9? Psh. Bolo has Specialist Trakker. And its AWESOME. According to Bolo, that's a huge compliment, being that Bolo is, well, Bolo.

Also, this is a better plan, but it still won't stop people from buying the comic packs, opening them with a knife/razor, and taking the Doc stuff out and returning them. If someone did that to brand new comic packs in my area, I'd be slightly upset being that there are a plethora of old ones that they could potentially do it to... not that they should do it at all.

Glad to see Hasbro spending the money to bag the comic/sticker to fend off the in-store hoodlums. I rarely get to say this lately, but like to when I can: Good job, Hasbro!
