Granted, most of us hate cutting up cardbacks for UPCs (MOC collectors, that is). However, the CPs are so easy to open, that shady individuals can easily buy the CP at retail, take'em home...heck, take'em to the parking lot....slide open the cardback, remove the sticker, put it all back together and WA-LA...free Doc stickers.
I hope that it doesn't happen to anyone...but let's face it, it can and it will, unfortunately. | |

I've been trying to figure out a way to get a mail in Doc order form without destroying the cards or buying 50-60 dollars more stuff that I don't need. I'm going to try and crack into mine and I hope it works!

Fold back the plastic lip, and the File cards / Doc information packet easily slides out.
These packets should have been placed inside the actual comic sealed in a plastic comic slip to make a person have to open the package fully in order to get out the stickers. | |

BTW, the Target clerks are not very understanding when you explain that the reason that you, a grown man, are returning the toy you just bought a few hours ago--and ripped open in a bit too much excitement--is because it's missing a little sticker that should have been inside somewhere.;) Ahh, the social hazards of our hobby... | |

| | Kota Master..Bolo Nemesis Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: NW DFW Texas Posts: 1,486 | Well I ordered one of each of wave 1 online.. should be here tues. Went out to Target today and found them all there as well.. figured why not and bought them too. I can use the body parts from the other ones for custom fodder and I still get 6 stickers.
Now i just need to find wave 2. Mainly for the Noks.
I just realized that the address is Azle, Tx on mine.. I live in Azle/Lake Worth. The collectors club is just right up the street from me. Is it the same for everyone else or is it a regional thing?
