Not sure if this is the correct thread...


Dear experts,

I need your advise/ help. I bought a "brand new/ sealed" SH.Figuarts Kamen Rider Chase from an online seller. I didn't check the package properly when it was passed to me (my fault). The brown box was already opened (not mentioned by seller, i forgot to ask), then the item box seemed to have been tampered it. In the pic below, the bottom cello tape (right side) has been cut then another new one put on top.



Unfortunately, I was too hasty and removed the top tape. The bottom tape was already cut opened. "Good" news is that everything is there.

According to the seller, double taping is a common practise. And this is a Bandai QC practise whereby they will cut the existing cello tape then put things inside the open if they find anything missing during QC. Then put a new tape on top of the existing one. Just like to know if anyone has heard of this or not.

Thanks very much!

Thanks for the confirmation, that's what i thought too but the seller insists that it's the Bandai way... anyways, not gonna buy anything from him again.
