All my Joes since the 25th started are MOC. So doing something like that would erk me, and make me pass on the figure.

Screw it. If it keeps the scalpers away so be it. Id rather the card be bent and be able to get it than not get it at all

I actually wouldn't mind if people did this so much, as long as the filecard wasn't effected. It would certainly make finding new release figures easier.

I'm going to get in trouble one day for vandalizing action figures in a store.
I keep a black Sharpie with me and when I encounter the handiwork of the local repacker, I write on the package DO NOT BUY STUFF STOLEN OUT OF THIS. THAT seems to get it removed from the shelves. I've taken the stuff to customer service at different stores on a number of occasions and explained to them what had happened and only at Target did the items NOT find their way back to the action figure aisle in the same condition. So I changed tactics. |

I had that happen but it was only one case so probably just a crushed box.

It's done to control the scalper population. A scalper can hardly make any profit on a non-MOC toy thus, they'll leave it there.
Buck up. Be happy. If you actually needed those figs to open, they would have been there waiting for you. I'd love it if someone started folding up all the Shock Troop cards in stores around here.

Of course, there are many factors in which a toy package (or a package of anything) can be damaged in a store. But in terms of toy collecting, scalper control is the most positive outcome of it.
LOL. "An illegal act of vandalism" huh? I didn't say I did it. Any fig I see in a store I need- I buy. Now if I were start bending toy cards, I doubt anyone in the store would do anything to stop me. Not even the real police even though it's so "illegal" according to you (I wonder if the cops have a 10-code for geek rage?). I'm sure you wouldn't say anything to me either, no matter how important you think you are.
