I've encountered this time and time again at my local TRU stores. What will become of all these masterpieces? If this continues, won't Masterpiece prices continue to rise? smh

Do you think someone is pinching them, or missing from the factory? Did you notice if they had been re-sealed etc?

How odd. Those packages don't look like they've been tampered with .

I've seen loads of Weaponiser BBs with the head rolling about the bottom of the box.
Anything rattling about inside TCs box lol?

On closer inspection the tape looks broken on the 2nd pic at the M of masterpiece.

Plastic head fetishists strike again. Either that or an angry MP 07 owner, take your pick

Sorry my pictures don't translate well. These Masterpieces I'm coming across are clearly busted wide open and the heads swiped. You can't tell from the picture but that package is wide open.

How dumb of whoever did this. Is it all of the MP Thundercracker or just one? If it is all of them I'm wondering if whoever did it is perhaps waiting to see if they seriously lower the price of them on a clearance shelf and snag them greatly discounted.
New pics added as I find time.

I've only spotted one MP Optimus at TRU, and someone had opened it and stolen the driver.

$10 products come packaged in plastic clamshell packaging that requires industrial bolt cutters to open, but Hasbro packs $100 toys in boxes that are "sealed" with a piece of Scotch tape. I don't get it.
