RhA, if this were Facebook (or Twitter), I'd "like" your comment. I couldn't agree more.

If you're planning on keeping it MISB, best to get the re-issue sealed one. Planning on opening it, this early run is for YOU!

Not necessarily, but alot depends on how thoughtful TakaraTomy are here.
If TakaraTomy are just using standard tape to retape the box then your point is spot on.
However I'm reminded of how customs approaches retaping packages, where the tape is printed with writing stating that the box has been opened and inspected by them. Brown goods companies have done the same with things like DVD players. If TakaraTomy have properly thought things through on this and if the run is large enough to justify it, then there's no reason why TakaraTomy couldn't use tape with writing on it to that effect - especially if other items, such as an Encore Overlord are released down the track (if the demand for Fort Max proves high enough, it's a definite possibility) where the same process will happen.
If they were to go down this road, then technically they have remained sealed from before leaving the manufacturer and therefore should be classed as MISB as it could be proven that the retaping had been done by the manufacturer themselves.

I think it's time to allow people to delete their own posts. Was there ever a logical reason as to why we cant ?
