I have my fingers crossed for you that its single taped.

Well mate if it is not then let me know. If you get yours by Saturday and its double taped I can swap Ramjet too.

Ramjet just arrived and it's also double-taped - hopefully this doesn't start a trend! Guess I'll have to take you up on your offer please Raider. Yours came single taped and is a nice box?

what's wrong with double taped? if its a factory double taped that is.

If I was to ever sell it in the future I can't really say it's MISB because who is to say you opened it and retaped or it was done at the factory? But for those that plan to open theirs, double taped is surely better because the figure has been qc'd.

If you're not familiar with the lingo... it's basically a reference to whether the box has been opened and re-sealed. This is often done because of a different distribution channel, such as referenced in this post where another language instructions were added before being on-sold.

Yep am aware of why it has been done but more so wondering why it was such a big issue if its factory taped, Dapto's explanation help clears up his reasoning.

Quoting a friend's comment on this matter "Maybe Takara needs its name etched into the tape a la FansToys. So people can tell if its official tape! "

but don't see that happening anytime soon.

That's a brilliant idea!

lol maybe double tape will be MISSB.

On the note, It doesn't impact on the current value of MP Skywarp does it? lol
And hence, is all in the mind.
