Man, the fact a LEGO employee knew it was damaged like that and willingly sold it at full price really pisses me off for you. For myself, I chose to go with a damaged bad batch shuttle box rather than a fresh good condition one because i got about 10% off on it. They didn't have the damaged one on the shelf, they just offered it to me when I got to the till for a discount. That's bad practice by that LEGO store to just pretend it wasn't damaged. It may not have even been their fault but they still should have discounted it.

[@MandRproductions]

And they never warned me it could be or is damaged.

[@JeremyMunoz845]

The damaged box on a premium collectors item is absolutely infuriating. And the fact that they just hid it in a bag for someone to randomly get instead of setting it aside for someone to actually decide if they want to buy the damaged product is pretty shady. I would demand an exchange. If they send you a box it would probably be with the fixed emblem.

Also, DO NO BUY NEW LEGO FROM AMAZON! They have zero clue how to package sets properly. 75% of the time their boxes are destroyed by the time I receive them.

Don't worry Ryan literally every single collector cares about boxes, I would've been upset and pisssed off if I were you. The amount of times I bought things and the boxes were damaged is insane I don't understand how it could be acceptable to do that, that's why I hate buying things online but it's also sometimes the only way to get something which is annoying. Shops also do this purposely because they know that most people just wouldn't try to get a refund or replacement because it takes too much effort. It's literally illegal too.
