Got a 50th shipwreck and cobra commander 2 pack that has extra tape on top of the other tape on the back and on two places on the front. Meaning I can see a bigger tape strip underneath smaller strips of tape. I peeled back one of the top layer ones and the bottom one was broken. The package looks super minty though, like it came from a fresh case. My question is, does anybody have a new 2 pack that was double taped? Or has this been opened and taped back? Did the shipwreck two pack show up at Ross? I had gotten some of the tombstone wave at Ross and the blister was coming off one or two of them. Could Ross have taped these before putting out?

I dont kjow about those but a lot of Star wars vehicles that come to Canada with the tape cut and another put on top. Even Retaliation vehicles were like that. I assume to putFrench instructions into the box, but not really sure if that's why though.

If nothing is missing and the figures look mint, should be all good. That is strange though. I don't think any of my remaining unopened 50th two/three-packs are like that but I'd have to look again to be sure.

It's hard to say, unfortunately, whether your item was tampered with or not. Hasbro has a sort of history of double taped boxes, like something was forgotten at the factory and the box had to be re-opened and then taped shut again. For carded items, Hasbro struggled with bad glue holding the bubble to the card and eventually started taping the bubble to the card in case the glue let go. That all makes it muddled and your guess is as good as ours regarding this particular item. Could've been double-taped at the factory, a store or by a previous owner.

Once in a while the glue gives out on packages and stores just tape them up. If nothing is missing it should be new. During the TRU closing sale i got a Spirit and Snake Eyes 2 pack that was taped up.

Totally normal to find multiple tape layers on those 50th 2-packs. At TRU or Ross, it came from the factory.
