Hey guys, just pretty much what the title says. I'm a loose collector, but I like some of the carding images of the superstars and I don't wanna wreck the carding by opening the plastic cause it'll tear the image on the packaging. Any ideas?

He's only asking because some people want to know how to remove the bubble with as little damage as possible so they can swap figures out and then return them to stores for a full refund.

Ahh now I get what it sounds like lol. Well you dont have to believe me but I legit want to put the cards behind some of my figs for display. The back of my display is just boring.
Im from aus and i havent ever encountered fig swapping so i forget it happens.

How could he return the figure if Australians don't get any figures at stores anyway?

I highly doubt mattel has just cut australia out of their distribution. We only get basics In stores and it's pretty much only TRU that carry them. And even then the selection is limited. No elites in Australia since about 2011, well for me at least that's the last time I saw any, unless you go to a collectors store here called go figure Collectables, where they have elites and even some RSC exclusives. But the prices are higher than retail. |

Whenever I keep the carding from a basic fig, I just cut the plastic with a craft knife as close to the carding as I can - looks fine to me!

I highly doubt mattel has just cut australia out of their distribution. Internet? It is the same in germany. Some figures at TRU but the only way to collect is the INTERNET. |

I highly doubt mattel has just cut australia out of their distribution. Internet. We only get a very limited stock. About once every two to three months, they give us half of a basic set that is almost five sets old and about two of each. Nothing big to get. |
