Re: Have I been toy swapped?
I am the same way. I bought a WFC ironhide to attempt to "replace" the box of another one and realized it was double-taped. From what I was told by other collectors, this is usually done for quality control from the factory or it was inspected prior to/during shipping. Over time (and if you look for it), you will notice that double taping happens although it is slightly uncommon - it happens for Marvel Legends as well. Since then, I have really questioned the point of being a "MISB" collector and I hope to break out of the cycle (when I was growing up during the Beast Wars era, I never had a problem with just opening my boxes, not sure why that is a problem now). Sometimes, I really question and wonder the point of it since not opening the boxes means I do not even know if the toys are broken, missing a piece or if it is defective. These boxes also take up too much space.
