Diabolical!
Luckily, I don't care about mint packaging as long as I can get a minty figure.

did you have a miniature model of the Toys R Us to explain the plan to your henchmen?

Wow ! . ..................What a Truly Horrible thing to do !Comment

There's only one punishment for this, Mike.
You must watch the new Star Trek movie three times in a row, and not complain about it before, during or afterwards.....
Only that will cleanse your toy-collecting soul......

Being a collector of figure to display loose I would relish the totally trashed package of a hard to find figure. That was probably the reason I found it.
Of course Mike sees it was wrong to do now - hence the confession.Comment

THAT WAS YOU?!?I might have mentioned this before, but if I did it was a long time ago and I forgot.
When I was collecting in the late 80's and early 90's ... specifically buying action figures in stores, malls etc --- I used to do a very nasty thing.
After making sure my figures were as perfect as perfect can be -- before checking them out, I would look around to make sure nobody was watching me and then crunch all the remaining figures on the shelf ... I wouldn't destory them ... but I would make them at least nowhere near mint.
I had the idea I was eliminating nice examples from the collecting field -- thus making mine more rare.
Back then, a friend of mine refered to me as Goldfinger for doing this
I stopped doing it in the mid 90's because it finally dawned on me what I was doing was just plain dumb and would not effect anything except ruin a figure for the guy behind me.
That's my confession.
Thanks for readingLo there do I see my Father.
Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
Lo they do call me.
They bid me take my place among them.
