Retail is not where MOC collectors can expect to find anything a real collector would consider "mint". I worked at Lowes unloading stuff and stocking at night, and there would be shipments where 50lb. boxes of tile would be stacked on something like lightbulbs. Just the way it is. And when the truck's unloaded, we just throw stuff down the conveyor as fast as we can, because we have a limited amount of time to unload the truck, or it costs the store money.
But, like most other people here, I'm sure that finding anything at all on the pegs would be a thrill. There's a lot of wave 6 stuff in this area, and it just showed up over the past two weeks. Bent or not, I'd be taking them home with me, because I nearly always open them up. What the hell is the fun to just buy a product and look at it through a plastic bubble? That really iritates me, and it's probably a large part of the reason why there's nothing in the stores. |

If there are figures in a case bigger than regular bubbles, expect a little damage. Air trooper destroyed itself and another fig box when I received it from BBTS. I got a discount at Kay Bee for taking damaged joes off their hands. It was right before close so I'm sure they just didn't want to deal with me.

If any of you are familor with 4chan's /toy/ Borad ( or /b/ for that matter) You might knw a bit aobut this, If you're familior with the Anonymos orginizeation ( god I'm an awful speller) You might know about this as well. Alot of peopl on that borad 9 and around the world) are doing this intentionaly to hurt the scalpers, and keep the figures from ending up on ebay with the "VHTF OMG WTF SUpah Rare" Tags on it, and then selling them for 40-50$ apiece.
It's not just the 25th joes it's happening to as well, it's also the Newer Starwars figures, Marvel legends, and anything else that's getting scalped. Personaly, I could care less, as I want all my stuff loose, I usualy look for the ones with damaged cards, becuase i know of afew MOC collectors in my area, so I try to leave the good cards for 'em. |

The only thing I do when I see a damaged card is I check to make sure its got everything its supposed to. Many a time a damaged card is a sign of tampering. Especially with the comic packs.
However if everything is there, I'll take it. When I finally found my Night Specter the box was beat to hell, but the file card and toy were fine so I grabbed it. |

As long as I can a set in good condtion, I'm cool. Friday when I had my wave 7 score, I got a couple Vipers with bent cards, but they were gonna be openers any way. Only the second time I saw 25th cards damaged since the line came out. First time was when the Red Ninja's first hit and 2 of them had some severly damaged cards.

I don't care if the card looks like it's been chewed on by a t-rex, if I find a joe I want, I'm gonna buy it.
