I just returned from Walmart FINALLY finding TFFlint, Major Bludd, and Baroness. The top right corner on those cards were bent pretty bad, basically making them useless for a ebayer/MOC collector. Is this something that someone is doing on purpose?
I saw artic SE and Python Patrol which were not bent. Weren't these guys part of the same wave case, so it wouldn't be a damaged case. |

Not really. I saw 3 figs that were damaged in the same way so is safe to say they were probably damaged while on transit.

hasbro toy shop purposely bends them. I got in two figures today, and instead of packing them like they come in the case, they just bent one card to make them sit in the box. The card forms an S almost. Needless to say no more orders from me HTS!! :(

Yes people are purposely bending the card backs. I found several waves at Target like this and alot of people take credit for doing it. Saying they do it to fight off scalpers. though they fuck over us MOC collectors.
Theres been several threads about it on 4chan.org under /toy/ |

There have been many threads over this everywhere. But yep, as pathetic as it is, yes there are people who do it and act as if they're being noble.However they do get damaged "normally". I've seen stockers toss these things around like nothing as well.

I have seen this practice for months in tru, target, and walmart. It's f'ed up and I wish I could bend their faces just like they bend the cards. Yes, I'm very angry about this.

One good thing about bending it leaves the figure on the rack so a little kid can finally find the cool figure they've been looking for.
