Hey guys. So I just recently ordered a store pick-up for the Elite Series DDP, and ordere the Defining Moments Ric Flair from Toy'R'Us to be delivered to my home.
So I was very happy when I went to Walmart to pick up the DDP figure, as it was packaged in a nice secure box, with bubble wrap in the inside. There was no damage to the packaging of the figure. Very happy with Walmart.
On the other hand, I just received my Ric Flair figure, and I am not happy. Toy'R'Us sent the figure in some flimzy USPS envelope and a little bubble wrap lining. The packaging on the figure was damaged in a bunch of different places. Not sure if this is because it got damaged during shipment, because of the lack of secure packaging. Or if it is because this is an old figure and they just reposted it, and it would be stupid for me to think I would get a mint condition action figure.
Any thoughts guys? Have you had issues with getting damaged packaging from Toy'R'Us? Does Toys'R'Us not ship action figures in secure boxes?
Thanks. Thought I would share my experience.

Toys R Us does not usually ship 1 figure in a box, if you buy multiple figures then I believe they do ship in a box

Yeah, if its one figure I always get a padded envelope. I collect mostly loose though and only get sealed stuff in person or ebay.

I bought 2 6" Star Wars Black figures from toysrus.com and both were shipped together in the same style envelope you mentioned. Completely beat to hell when I got them.
I am a moc collector, so I was pretty pissed off. I have not ordered from them again.
They said I could exchange them at my nearest TRU, but that is over an hour away and they never have any Black stuff at that store anyway.

Thanks for the responses guys. Makes me think twice about getting that Elite Series TRU Alberto Del Rio (Money in the Bank), someone on the forum just posted about, that TRU just reposted.
I'm new to this site. What does MOC mean?

I've never had a problem with the shipping. Many others have. But I always get two figures at a time so it comes in a box.

Strange. I have bought HHH and Macho off TRU by themselves and they were fine and boxed.

I'm new to this site. What does MOC mean? MOC = mint on card. A better term for elites in unopened mint packaging would prolly be MISB= mint in sealed box |

Thanks. Sounds hit or miss for Toy'R'Us.

All of my recent Walmart pick ups were in secure boxes with padding but looked like someone stepped on the toy's before going in the box. I'm not an MOC collector and the figures were fine but I'd have been pissed if I was an MOC guy.

Thought I would share my experience. hey man I also ordered Flair from TRU last week, and the next day the price went down to 19.99, lol. It's back to 24.99 again I believe. But anyway, it is sitting on my doorstep right now as it was delivered this morning. When I get home I'll be curious to see what kind of shape mine comes in...you've got me worried! TRU has always been great in the past. My TRU exclusive Rollins and Cena came seperately last fall and were both in perfect shape out of the package. |

Yeh, when I ordered it, it was 24.99. Then I noticed that they dropped the price down to 19.99 the day later. I called them up and they changed the price to 19.99, as they price match. Which did make me happy.

Ordering together at TRU doesn't Guarantee you a box unless its two of the same figure
This month I ordered BAF bray Wyatt and bossman hoping since I ordered it together I'd get them both together in a box.....WRONG!
they came from two different states and bray was in box but boss man was in a bubble mailer that was ripped open and jammed in my mailbox
TRU didn't use to be like that before if you ordered one elite they would send it in a box that was way too big but they would stuff it full of air packs and it would be safe
I don't remember a problem with people getting the bubble mailers until the release of the TRU ex Seth Rollins

Do you guys pay economy shipping or standard? Economy shipping is all envelopes.

I recommend everyone to NEVER buy anything from TRU.com. It's a nightmare.

I'm a loose collector, so in that sense i don't have issue with the final product. But i totally see how an MOC guy would. Same goes for Amazon. One of the few MOC collections i maintain is Funkos ReAction series. I ordered several from them last year, and 3/4 came on nearly destroyed cards. The 4th came COMPLETELY off the card. The blister laying in the bottom of the box, the card underneath the other 3 figures. Just a mess. So i feel your pain.

I ordered from tru a few years back and the packages were destroyed. However I recently ordered the APA from them and they came perfect. I'm waiting on another order from them and I truly hope they come mint.
