Damaged Crimson Guard Backpacks

I have been starting to see an increased presence of wave 5 in my area. Unfortunately all of the CG I find have damaged backpacks. Do to the way its packaged the backpack sits right up against the bubble and the Cobra symbol is always smashed. Is anyone else running into this problem?

nearly all of mine are like that. they are either smushed or the molds themselves were shotty but there is little that actually resembles a cobra symbol. i highlighted mine with silver paint which in hindsight may have not been the best thign as it only highlights the fact that they are not really recognizable.

the one i have is like that as well. however, i rarely give any real importance to the quality of the backpacks...as long as they stay in the peg hole in the back, im good.

now, lets discuss this "increased presence of wave 5" in your area...

who did you threaten to get that?

I have two CG's and from what I can see one is normal and a hint of a problem on the outside of the logo on the other.

As far as frequency of wave 5 in this area (north dakota) I know of at least eight boxes that have come through the target I work at. Four in one night.

i still am lost on how i live on a military BASE and still have not seen a single 25th figure at all, period.
yet we get tons of batman, ninja turtles, naruto?
we used to (occasionally) get sigma six, so its not like we are getting controlled exposure or something. lol

sucks about the CG packs though. luckily, i hardly ever display a figure facing the wall.
but it still sucks. hasbro could step up the QA a bit, that's for sure.

do star wars figures have this many problems?
just curious because i really havent collected them since ROTS. even then it was here and there.

All 3 of mine are that way too. It doesn't really bother me though. I just love looking at the figures and the card art. Maybe this is something that hasbro will fix in future cg packs...

I traded off 5 of them, but I kept 1 and got 2 more last week, all of them were from wave 5 that hit my area in the last month. I didn't check the ones I traded, but the 3 I have now, the backpacks are fine, I mean you can tell it's a Cobra symbol.
