This is what ticks me off. It really isn't about deterring a scalper and such, but messing with something that does not belong to you. Yes. It's just stupid cardboard, but that's not the point. And theses asses think there doing it for the good of the hobby. I'm done here....I'm just going to get more pissed off reading someone these asinine comments.

I still say that analogy only applies if the car comes in "collectible packaging", but even then, everyone can agree that a headlight is a functional and integral part of the vehicle (unless you never drive at night), but try to get two people to agree on how important a single corner of the package is and look what happens?
Worse yet, people here are acting like someone took a sh*t on the package. 95% of the time we're talking about a little corner that no normal human-being would even notice. |

Like I said, if the card benders knew they where pissing guys like you off it'd be encouragement to them. (and just to clarify for those that arn't current on this thread. I don't agree with card bending but I also don't think it's as terrible as most make it out to be.)

if i saw someone damaging something that i wanted then i would be pissed.. depending if it was a kid or an adult determons my actions.
the whole game to collecting g i joe is tracking this stuff down. if your gonna blame scalpers and benders on your lack of collection then you need to step up your game, if your not gonna step up , then you might aswell start one of those (im selling my whole collection thread).

Yeah, if you wanted to help out other collectors you'd buy all the figures up and sell them on this forum at cost plus shipping. Then they wouldn't even have to go out and look for them. What a nice guy you'd be then. Meh, it's just easier to bend something.

[QUOTE=Zefram;1799281]Apples and oranges. The product itself is what's inside the packaging.
So Hasbro doesn't produce the package, too? I still call it vandalism. On the other hand, I believe scalpers should be among the first lined up and shot when the revolution comes, so it's a fine line! |

See you actually have a point there, and that's why I mostly don't agree with card bending. But honestly card bending is hardly damaging the hobby compared to people who buy up collectible figures to sell on E-bay. Card bending right or wrong detures "scalping". While I hate scalping it is a free country and people can do so if they want. It's hard for me not to smile when I see a rare figure on a peg that obviously only there because the packing is damaged.
