I think removing the codes off of the Blind Bags will decrease sales. If I can't troop build them, then no point. So some TRU's are going to have a crap ton of Joe Kreons warming the shelves. Troop builders keep the line going!

Guys are finding the bags slit open, so they are basically defeating the purpose by opening them before they buy them.

I ordered the Battle Below Zero set online because my Toys R Us either hasn't gotten it or they're too stupid to restock after it sold out like all the other Joe stuff that I have seen. Here's what arrived today:
I hate repackers and was NOT expecting this since I bought it from TRU.com. Ugh. Just had to vent. Quote:
That's why recent hasbro figures have tape attached to every single 3.75 figure on cardback, it's to prevent that. Same thing happened to retaliation cardbacks too just so you know. Then either unknowing employees or repackers retape the cardbacks to whatever they can find and we get stuff like this occuring. |

almost all blind bags ( Kreo, LEGO and MegaBlocks ) have marking or numbers on the bags that can be decoded to tell what is inside.
for example Kreo GI Joe Wav 3 G.I. Joe Kre-O SuperPage | Generals Joes – A blog about the importance (or unimportance) of little plastic men Lego is more complicated with an embossed dot code. LEGO Simpsons Codes List for Minifigures Blind Bags! - Bricks and Bloks I read they removed the codes on the newest wave? Idk,Legos are banned from my house since my first batch of kids. I have zero interest in collecting yet another toy, lol. Lego toys are too broad for me to even think about it for a second. Idk why not just put pictures on the bag or make them clear ? A true blind bag is BS.

But Yeah Contra my wife says she can tell which Simpsons person will be in a blindpack by feeling the parts, she knew I had gotten her 3 Marges one day that way and had me return 2 before we opened them

To answer your question kinda: I would buy a repack of lets say Ret. cobra trooper. I can see someone repacking it but i need em x many so i wouldnèt care what cardback it was on. The bigger problem that is out there with repacking is people buy repacks because they are oblivious to the fact that it is in fact a repack. They think " WOW, a Hasbro error card COOLLLLLLL i can get 100$ for this " I got a buddy right now with a cobra Stun driver that came with steel crucher from ROC packaged on a Retaliation wave 1 cobra commander card. He thinks the world of it ! : /

There was a person on ebay when Retaliation first hit before they were pulled back. He was trying to sell a 25th Roadblock on a Retaliation card and swore it came from the factory like that. I just laughed at all of his responses and his theories on how it happened.
