Oh the joy! A part of my childhood came back to me today - received TFC Hound in the mail.

Hound was my first TF toy back when I was a kid, so this holds a special place in my heart (even though it's the re-issue and not the real deal G1 version).

One thing that has annoyed me is that the seller I bought it off listed the item as being 'brand new, never been opened', yet the tape at the top had been cut.

Everything else is still intact and as described, but it's no longer MISB and is 'only' MIB.

I've messaged him and his reply was: "thats how i received the item myself. i have never opened it myself so did not notice if the tape had been cut. to me it never made a difference so i never noticed"

I'm trying to work something out with him at the moment, but I'm somewhat disappointed - even contemplating returning it if he gives me a full refund.

I purchased a MISB and received a MIB - Hound was meant to stay sealed for all of his eternity in his plastic and cardboard prison.
