Yes, to my amazement, both the Manas and Spybotics were packaged
in this manner (in the U.S. at least). I can't fathom what on Earth they
were thinking when they came up with this packaging scheme. The
controllers that came with the Manas were badly scratched. That's
not to say they wouldn't eventually reach that state once played with,
but who wants to get a controller in that condition straight out of
a sealed box. Anyways, I didn't really complain since I got the
Manas on deep clearance at Target and I was primarily interested
in the motor units and extra Technic bits that came with the set.
I don't remember any major scratches in the Spybotics stuff, but I
bought those right when they came out and the box didn't have any
time to get significant shelf wear.
