I've noticed this too.. more because I got a box without looking that
someone apparently had opened, taken out what they wanted, and the GLUED
it shut again and returned it. I'm not sure if they'll believe me if I
take it back though... so I pondered calling CA though should they
really pay for someone elses greed and rudeness?? I don't think so..
though you can be sure I'll be looking at my boxes much more closely
from now on.

I just can't believe people have the b*lls to do this kind of stuff..
what's worse is they get away with it :(

  Poor packaging by TLC (was: Has any one else noticed...)
 
The issue of poor packaging for retail Lego sets has bothered me for some time.
