Nah, it was completely sealed, even the bag with the instructions and poster. Had to be a factory fuckup. Usually when I get lemons, if one thing is wrong(missing weapons), then another thing is wrong with it (missing Dreadnok tampo).
And as for the volcano viper I have good news. This weekend I found one with the figure. Also got the submarine thingy and all of POC wave 4. Now on to waves 5 & 6!
On the fence about the volcano viper toy, I might offer it up here since I know you folks have been finding the vehicles with swapped drivers.
As with my experience in the past with Benny's, their stores have very helpful salespeople who will go out of their way for you. From my shopping experiences, usually the older gentlemen in dress shirts are the guys who will help you out best. If you can't find an item on the shelf, ask if they have any in the back (describe it well) and explain your predicament (people returning the item with parts missing/swapped). I'm sure they'll go check for you if it means making a sale and a customer happy.
As a Christmas gift when I was younger, my dad scored me a few Matchbox Mega-Rig sets that were nigh impossible to find all by asking nicely if the had any in stock in the back (the U.F.O. and Arctic Explorer). He knew that for at least an entire year I had been looking for the sets, at various stores with no such luck. He walked into the Smithfield Benny's, grabbed a set that had photos on the sets I couldn't find on the box, asked the manager, showed him the pictures of the hard to find sets, and asked if they could check the back for them. Long story short, I was in for one heck of a surprise on Christmas morning!
Oh yeah, watching
