Anyways, to get back on topic, I've very seldom had any issues with Amazon packaging. Then again I'm not a MOC collector. My main concern ordering stuff online is that I can't see the paint job on the figures until I receive them (and they're paid for). Just make sure you fill out the packaging feedback. Amazon does takes it seriously. They called me once after I gave them some critical feedback about a Vitamix that wasn't even in a shipping box. They refunded me 20% and told me they were amending the policy to where customers will usually be notified when an item will ship exposed (in some cases you can request a shipping box for free). This is something I need to get better at because I often neglect to leave feedback on Amazon purchases. I've been refunded multiple times for having had the wrong item shipped to me, but fortunately I've never had a real packaging concern. Warped cards are about the extent of it. I think any loose collector would agree that online shopping for figures is much easier when you're not a MOC collector. It's a shame that paint apps are as much of a problem as they are these days it seems, but that's a risk I'm usually willing to take, be it with Amazon, Ringside or whomever else. I could, and probably should, have reached out to them back in late January when I received an Elite Series 38 Roman Reigns without the small barricade connector piece, but it slipped my mind. I know right? I rarely ever used to have any paint app issues with any figures I bought regardless of where they were from. It seems like the last couple years it's gotten really bad. I don't buy from ebay at all anymore because of it. Unless the user is posting a super high res image (which obviously most people don't), there are several things a common camera just doesn't pick up.

Is GAB Sting in-stock yet? Nope. The one crappy thing is I don't think Amazon will specify which version you get (right boots or no). They never did with WM HBK or APA.

Yes, I want to take a second to thank both eBay and Mattel for the MIB Elite Series 27 Fandango figure that I bought and would later discover to be without a right eyebrow.
And in other news, Battle Packs Series 38 Bray Wyatt & Undertaker can now be found on Amazon for practically the same price as a brand new Basic figure. $11.09 with free Prime shipping is the best price yet. I've also noticed this past week that The Bella Twins are back up for $20.99.

I wouldnt trust Amazon for MOC collecting...
RSC offers the premium and no gamble. I just get good cards from retail. If I cant then open them...

The top of Sami's card was actually folded over.. They were in individual plastic sleeves too. No paper, bubble mailers, etc. I knew going in that they would need be opened but still it's disappointing when you get them like that especially how hard you have to search on Amazon to get them at normal retail prices when they first are released.
