Eh just frustrated but I hope that this doesnt happen to others.
That really sucks, and I feel your pain - had the same thing happen to me with a different set at B&N last weekend! Was really lucky in that I opened the box in front of the cashier. Still haven't figured out how they reattached the plastic wrap on it, but the box and bag were both open once I pulled off the wrap. I was prepared to just eat it on the mini, but he was really nice and asked if I wanted to go pull a different one to make up for it. Really grateful to the kind cashier, but on the other side of that - why are people animals???
I've bought a few straight out the shipper box where the inner black bag was open. Just this morning found a Boo Berry that way (thought it was Sprout )

Sometimes the black bag is opened, but it's a factory error, not someone tampering with it.

Yeah, the black bag alone is okay - I kinda like it when they're open actually, just makes my life easier. This batch of boxes open really easily, too, which is nice. Some of the boxes practically have to be destroyed to get to the mini inside, but not this batch! It just amazes me how many boxes I find on the shelves that aren't shrink wrapped anymore!

I wouldn't buy those. Too risky.

I’m starting to believe Fruit Brute is really 1/144. I see so many Sprouts for sale/trade but hardly any Fruit Brutes. I’ve also found so many fresh cases across multiple stores and never found one.

Nah. Just distribution sucks. Friend in NY found 2 F Brutes in the same area two diff stores.

Nah, I have the whole set already. I just wanted to find one because it’s the only one I hadn’t found in the wild.

I was right up there with you in terms of fresh cases... found mine at a B&N that has had the case in stock for about 3 weeks. It was still untouched when I went over the weekend.

Restock? Or just a B&N not frequented by hunters?

Now to figure out what my other friend still needs, and maybe go back to that case to see what's what!
