Just got in about $40 of mini-mates from toys R us. They packed all three boxes directly into a bubble-lined manilla envelope. It arrived pretty crushed. I am a little disappointed of course.. ---

Only a little disappointed? Would you say you are **crushed**? :sigh: There have been a few other complaints about damages from shipping here: [http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=249564#p249564](http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=249564#p249564) ---

But if it were something a bit more delicate I could see it easily ruined. Going to have to reconsider ordering items direct from TRU. ---

Return it. That’s what I had to do. Express your disappointment with the people on the phone. ---

I bought 2 sets of the wave four figures and each set came in a different envelopes and all eight box’s were crushed,I gave them a call and they sent me the shipping labels to mail them back. I landed all the sets on ebay cheaper than what I gave for them at toyrus. ---

I ordered 10 sets and they were also poorly packaged, luckily they were not damaged but the box took some abuse. I did have some trouble with another minimate set though… > **[Poor Winston...](https://forum.gbfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=21196)** > > So I picked up some of the GB2 Slime Blower minimates at SDCC. And as I was looking through the packages I came across this… I think the look on his face pretty much sums it up. Poor Winston ☹ He can never catch a break.
