Well if it wasn't tampered I'd have to say that that was the worst booster you could possibly get! :(

I dunno if you should give up on buying boosters altogether, maybe you should consider buying the boosters from other stores. Try your luck out somewhere else, I mean it can't possibly get much worse than that.

that was a very bad booster although I think it's possible: If you only find thugs and henchman in a booster it surely tempered with.
Scarlet Witch however has a higher rarity.

Also: 19 boosters does NOT equal 3,4 uniques !
Did they all come from thesame case ?It could be there is someone who also bought 19 boosters, but got 7 uniques.
that's the luck of the draw when your buying boosters.
though I would be happier with some Vet. versions of playable figs then most of the uniques.

But you also have to remember that there's no guarantee that you'll pull any U's if you buy a case as well. It's the median.

I was playing my brother - 1 sealed booster each - play what you draw.

He opened his:

E Hercules
E Juggernaut
V Spiderman
R Wasp

Me:
V SHIELD agent
R SHIELD Medic
E Quicksilver
R Blade

Guess who won?

Of course one time I bought a Clobbern' Time Booster and got:

V Mr. Fantastic
E Doombot
E Invisible Girl
E She-Hulk

So it's all a ####shoot...

Icon usa is'nt responsible for your misfortune. Its called Bad Luck...

Everyone has it from time to time. When I bought my first 12 boosters and two starters, I pulled 4 uniques and a bunch of decent figs I wanted. But do you know how long it took me to get a lousy "E" Captain America? Or the "V" Spiderman? FOREVER. And there are still remenants of that quest laying around in the form of 15 Daredevil. 12 Hobgoblin. 18 Wasp. 18!!!!

Thems the breaks. Your luck HAS to change sooner or later. If your lucks good, It's ALMOST ALWAYS SOONER THAN LATER....

Booster tampering is easy. I've done it by cutting open the bottom of the booster with a sharp knife, breaking the glue. I then removed the contents, and repacked it. Before you go nuts, I did it for my son's birthday and I loaded it with uniques. I glued the bottom back together and since he opened it from the top, he never noticed the tampering. Boy was he happy when he got the booster. :D

Now I don't know how many sellers are doing the same thing for more nefarious purposes, but it only took me 5 min to accomplish the task. If you suspect tampering, check the bottom of the boosters carefully and check for any irrregularities.

Hope this helps,

When Clix came out I heard about a guy tampering with packages.
I dont know about now, But the infinity challenge boxes could be opened by putting a hot iron on them long enough to melt the glue. He would pick out what he wanted and reseal them before the glue cooled.
