Well, it seemed like beating a dead horse. There were also a lot of QC complaints and straight from factory incorrect figures for months on Facebook and reddit in addition to repacks And Hasbro just ignored everyone including me, |

Eh, I'd take a second Diana figure in the wrong package.

I was looking at some new Marvel Legends on the pegs.. and a bunch of them had plain old scotch tape instead of the factory tape.
I don't want to guess what was in those boxes... missing build-a-figure pieces or swapped figures entirely |

Back in 1993, I worked in the toy department at my local Walmart. I was 19 years old. My job was my department. Make the shelves and pegs look presentable. Look for defective, torn boxes, inventory, and whatever else. My organizational skills really showed and my manager loved it. Every day I would find one package to a whole cart full of of packages that were defective, torn, toys taken out, crushed, whatever. I don't know what has changed, I know what's changed in the average employee as far as work ethic(a lot of them don't give a fuck), but my local Walmart has gotten worse than before. |

The people in the toy departments don't give a shit.
I've been in toy aisles in Walmart where the packages are all ripped open, nothing in them, I point that out to the workers, and they just leave them sitting there empty on the pegs. Still there days later. I would imagine these people don't even want to be bothered. Like my local Walmart has everything behind glass due to theft, but when you try to get somebody to get the stuff for you they take their sweet ass time, sometimes making you stand there for an hour while they go off and do whatever. And then come back surprised you're still waiting. I work the service industry so I know how miserable it gets, but still, do your damn job. if you hate helping people get a different job. |

That might be the factory tape. I just picked up a Jurassic Park Hammond Collection Arnold figure and it has what really looks like Scotch tape sealing it, but all the contents are just fine. It's possible they might be pinching pennies and just using a cheaper-looking grade.

I am not a MOC/MIB collector, but I feel for everyone that is with the windowless figures. I am hoping the collecting community raises a big enough stink with all these swaps, QC issues and destroyed packages that Hasbro csves and goes back to plastic windows or something.
