    When I picked up my preorder of SG Soundwave and the Hero 2pack last week, the two boxes were taped up together with the order print up taped over the top. I was not happy, putting sticky tape all over collector boxes and I told them that several times as I slowly peeled off all the tape at the checkout counter, blocking that register for about 5 minutes. (I stayed so that I could return them if the tape tore up the packaging)
    I got most of it off okay, but it did lift a little bit of the surface of the Hero 2pack.

    Did they appear to care at all?

    They taped to the top of my MPM Blackout, took it off without asking and peeled the black off, leaving a white spot on the top. I flat out refused to take and made them get another from out the back.

    The damaged is still sitting in the shelf

    No packing material in the box whatsoever. Now that's fine for me, I'm an opener, and surprisingly the boxes arrived in pretty good nick overall, with just one major tear. But it's definitely something to watch for if you are concerned about such things.

    Postage was very cheap, and it arrived right on time, a mere 3 days after order was placed.

    I got sick of waiting for Breakdown from Amazon so I ordered from JB and also got a Lio Convoy while I was at it. I really don't care about this because I throw the cardboard and paper in the recycling, but I know a lot of you will. The Transformers were put in a bit of bubble wrap and then into a courier bag. The boxes were all damaged as you would expect for flimsy Legacy packaging without an outer box to protect them. Again, I don't care, but I know many of you will.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
