I was wondering if the rest of the country and our brothers in Canada have had problems with Bubble Crushers and Card Benders.
Here lately every store I enter has toys that has minor or severe package damage. It's not just the Joe line but seems to span across the entire boys toy section. I have reported to the toy managers but they could care less. I believe it is those heartless Hotwheels guys HA. Is this a problem everywhere? |

Ya know, I haven't actually noticed this since around wave 9 Seems they've backed off of damaging all the revision figures

I see it in spurts here in Jacksonville but its mainly at walmarts since they are open 24hrs and these people hit these stores very early in the morning and destroy what they leave behind. I get 99% of my things from Target and TRU since I am usually there once they open and get first pick.

I'd blame the stock people for card bending too if I was seeing peg warmers with bent corners. Around here though the only figures I've seen with bent corners are popular troop builders and the other hot figures from each wave.

i think when stockers have to deal with annoying people or scalpers and such , they might do it to piss off a certain individual, otherwise i doubt it is a conspiracy.other than that imagine unloading a walmart truck at 3 am in the morning. i am sure those guys really dont care about unloading toys

when i found wave 13 at a target, every card and bubble was damaged,while all the other joes we're minty fresh. i can tell these we're damaged on purpose because each one was damaged in a different way. i only needed blowtorch and resolute duke so i ended up buying them. the blowtorch only had 1 bend that i was able to straiten out,the duke only had a slight warp.... the f...ed up part of it all is, i went into walmart across the street from that target while my wife and son waited in the car only to come out to see my wife on the phone yapping while not paying attention to my son who is destroying my resolute duke. i thought i was going to pass out. i ended up returning the duke, i havnt found another resolute duke since.
