For Valentine's Day, my wife ordered me some Infinity Challenge Starter Sets from Amazon.com. I was thrilled, but something happened on the way to my V. Bullseye (my first!): the box was suspiciously difficult to open.

I'm not talking 'kind'a strong glue' difficult, I'm talking I needed to whip out my carpenter's knife and a prayer to pry it open. What was very cool was that there was this flap on the back that seems to prevent people from peeling back and peeking.

Is this some new tamper prevention by Wizkids or was I taking too much medication that night?

I've gotten IC boosters from different places and have found some of them taped and some of them glued (the tap on the top of the box glued to the inside). At first I thought they were tampered with but when I found that some had Uniques & other decent figs & that the tape & glue seemed to be the same regardless of where I bought the box I decided WizKids was probably doing this.

One tip: don't buy them at Toys R Us. I've heard that now only do customers open them in the store but Toys R Us has no problem with opened boxes for return/exchanges.
