Resealed Mystery Mini's

[Force951]

Oh wow. If you snapped any pics, please don't hesitate to post them. Sheesh

Went by target today and they had MM's with 4 different kinds of plastic wrap on them. Thought i picked the correct one, but found out shortly after leaving the store i didn't.

Once i took off the plastic i knew i had a resealed one by the left over glue on top.


You can barely see how they glued it back.


Here is how the resealer glued it closed, you can compare that to the factory glue on the bottom further down.



Here is a picture of the bottom, which still has the factory glue.

Oh wow! Haha you have to wonder in their head how going through all that time, effort, supplies, etc. is worth the $6 they are saving? I guess the kind of people that reseal toys to return to the store (or just plain steal) aren't the best at understanding long term costs though. :P

Might be able to , but just calling it a learned lesson to not buy any MM's from box stores.

I hear you Sucks man. Definitely thank you for the heads up.

I have seen blatantly opened and resealed minis from walmart back when i was hunting the infinity war line. It was seriously like they didn’t even try to hide the fact that they opened it because it was resealed with packaging tape. Could’ve also been that customers just tear into the boxes and the walmart employees just reseal them not knowing they have been completely compromised.

Sorry laughed really hard that they used packing tape. Sucks about it tho. I understand using the scale but buying and opening them is a whole different thing.

Lol i laughed in store really hard too, so don’t worry. But yeah they are two completely different things

I have found in laying on the shelf out of box mi is that was a store exclusive. I took it to the register and bought it.

I always wonder how it happens in some stores where it is never busy and workers are readily available...

[AustinBundy65401]

I don't think I've come across any that were bought, opened and resealed. But I've also learned not to be surprised by anything these days

[Greymom]

I went to my local B&N to pick up a couple blind boxes. I ended up with a Aladdin Mystery Mini, and a Bob's Burgers Kid Robot Mini. After opening the Bob's i figured out that it had already been opened up and resealed. This made me suspicious of the Mystery Mini, and it also showed signs of this as well. There was also a strong glue smell that makes me think the same thing happened. I know this is a big problem in the Magic community with Wal-Mart and Target product. So i was wondering if anyone else is running into the same issue.

I've encountered this a few times. It makes me sad and angry at the same time. People can be so scandalous!

[imbatgirlpop]

Wow. I didn’t know people did this. How rude and mean. So sad.

[Hopesdenial]

I've seen this happen a lot at FYE. Just some shipping tape over the flaps of the box -_-

[Shalee04]

Yep, it is really bad. Toys r us was the worst. Then Barnes and noble and Walmart. Target doesn't seem to have the problem out here in Bako.

I remember finding two full cases of the Last Jedi Mystery Minis at Walgreens and thought I might have a chance at getting some Walgreens Exclusive that I was missing. Bought a few and went outside to my car to open them and they were Harry Potter Mystery Minis. Someone actually went as far as repackaging them with Harry Potter Minis and gluing the blind box and then use saran wrap to make them look new. Horrible.

Yipes!! Sometimes people are so shady! I used to collect Kidrobot Dunnys which are also blind box and Urban Outfitters used to sell them. You gotta double check before you buy them, or I've also opened them in the store before I leave to make sure I wasn't getting hoodwinked! Sometimes larger stores have a tough time not taking things back, or don't really know they shouldn't be opened.

So sorry that happened to you, hopefully it won't happen again!!

Yikes

During the release of the Disney Villians, I thought I'd hit the jackpot when I found a nice stack at Walmart; at least 3 boxes worth. Turned out they were opened returns and just closed with Scotch tape.

I'm sure it happens more often than we think. Definitely shady.

[Marvel_Mama]

So frustrating. Hunt like the rest of us. Ruthless people out there.

[GrabtharsHammer]

Yep. I bought a MM at target, got excited and opened it the parking lot just to realize someone had put a Looney Tunes 1/6 MM in there by opening and re-gluing the bottom. Went straight back in to return and thankfully had no issue getting my money back.

[ryusilva23]

Opening any sealed product should be straight up not returnable (unless it's defective). Taking the effort to return it after opening it by tape, glue... whatever seems really petty. To each their own I guess, but yea I think there should be no return policy for mystery minis for all retail locations. Now kids or people straight up tearing into them at the store is a vandalism problem. I wouldn't be happy opening a resealed mini, I usually open them in store or my car before I leave though haha.

[Nellekeller]

I think mystery minis should be non-returnable. I have seen kids rip them open and if that is the case either damage it or mark its been opened with whats inside

I'd agree with this. I also am not a fan of weighing the minis in store. It essentially ruins it for everyone.
