Beware of missing pieces when buying!
Hey Bladers, I want to warn folks of something that happened to me today so you can hopefully avoid it. I was at Walmart today looking for beyblades (as I'm new to the hobby) & saw they had Hammer Incendio. I was excited because I know Hexa is excellent. When I got to my car, I realized that the package had a small rip and someone had taken out the parts. Annoying, but I was still at the store, so I went in and exchanged it for the other Hammer Incendio they had. I examined it carefully & it was neatly taped up.
I opened it when I got home, and... yup, someone stole hexa out of it and taped it back together. Or someone returned it without hexa and they just put it back out for sale. Whatever happened, I'm hexa-less and just bummed.
SO, if you're buying from big chain stores, inspect your beys carefully and open them all the way before you drive home! It sucks that people are coming after beyblades like this, but I hope other people don't have the same experience as I did.
TLDR: a seemingly perfectly sealed package had actually been opened & a valuable part removed.
