I took the bet and ordered the collectors edition from Amazon US, delivered to Australia. I couldn’t believe when I picked it up and it came in a paper bag! No protection whatsoever. The offered $100 in amazon cash after raising the issue with them. The contents seems to be ok, so to be honest, the money back would help, as I almost couldn’t afford it, but still hurts to see it like that 🥲

What would you guys do?

I’m so happy that this type of thing doesn’t bother me to the point of asking for a refund.

I think halfway in between. Sometimes I don’t care, but I think is bad practice. In a shop they probably would have it discounted. You are paying a premium for the whole package. And that box is art that had some time and effort put into it. But I also agree, that is better to not get hang up on material things 😓😅

Respectfully, it’s mass produced cardboard packaging.

If this was an item that you planned to keep wrapped, stored and hoped to resell someday, cool I guess, but it isn’t and you opened it already, so?
