Warning tru shipping with bubble mailers(comic packs)

I recently read the below thread about toys r us having the comic packs in stock, please be aware that they ship the comic packs in large bubble mailers!, i ordered 3
of wave 1 and they all came either smashed, dented, and the comic book was bent, as the backing card.
I think its a serious mistake, Im actually Ticked off that I spent $$ and got my stuff messed up!, before you buy your figs online, make sure the person shipping uses a BOX!!!, so far im down 4 box sets, 3 comic packs and 5 single carded figures because someone was lazy and didnt use a box!

Anyone else had problems like mine?

I ordered all 3 of wave 1 from TRU.com and they came in one big box. Mind you there were only 3 small air pouches for padding, but nothing was sent in a bubble mailer

I ordered 1 comic pack from TRU.com. It came in a padded envelope with a small amount of creasing on the card.

I got the Hawk/Scarlett and Snake-Eyes/Storm Shadow packs. They were shipped in a padded envelope, but somehow arrived safely.

Same here, although they were sent using the UPS to USPS shipping method.

Wow, your lucky then.

im so irritated, i mean the figures are ok, but the comics look like junk now, plus i really wanted to leave them in the packaging.

anyways im going to return them and ask for replacements in a box.
