I am furious right now.... Kmart and Walmart legos tampered with in the Philadelphia suburban area. We are getting ready to move into a new home so I am trying to get my collection a bit more organized in boxes to move to the new house. As i started boxing things up i started to pay attention to some of the sets especially that i got on clearance in the past few months. Kmart: 2 Goblin Kings 1 Attack at Weathertop Both looked like the seals were all in tact but I noticed that there was no play in the box top the tab was holding. pulled a little harder and sure enough I could see glue! All three freaking boxes. Opened them all up and all figs gone!! Walmart: 1 Wolverine Chopper I found after everything had been gone from stores for a while. I was so excited to find this set even though it was at retail. I didn't pay close enough attention that some jerk placed scotch tape perfectly over the seals that it was hardly noticeable! whoever does this is a special kind of four letter words mixed together. This is now the 6th set I have bought missing figures. first being a slave 1 a few years ago from again walmart and another weathertop again from walmart. This is so frustrating. Does anyone have tips or is there a thread for tips of how to tell if legos they have bought were tampered with? The two i will now be looking for are: -Lift all tabs on the sets to make sure there is no glue present. I haven't found a set so tightly sealed from factory that I couldn't lift. -pay closer attention to the seals to make sure they do not look tampered with and additional tape is not present.
