Mine should be here today. I'll update later.
Amazon's packing varies greatly.
Just in the last month:
- I received a single Star Wars figure in a bubble envelope. Another Star Wars single had an air bubble for protection and was boxed.
- Two carded Star Wars figures were received with damaged cards, no protection. While another two were cello wrapped to a card board backing and boxed. They were mint.
- Wrestling figures were shipped in a too small box so the packer decided to bend the cards.

I'm actually not an MOC collector. Right now I'm more worried about my Turtles having poorly painted eyes.

Updating my anonymous post.
Two of the cards had minor curving of the lower corners.
The other two cards are bent upward along the bubble. Crease marks are visible on the back side.
They can't be called mint but they weren't bad. I've seen worse.

Don's right eye is slightly off center. The other three guys look perfect.
I was thinking about leaving Don unopened until I could exchange it at retail but once I had the other Turtles loose, I had to open him up too.

was don's staff loose in the package ? I really like these on the card, it really will disappoint me if there badly bent up, i think they did a great job on making the whole package,

The staff is in the molded indent of the tray. It kind of lies over Don's right hand between his fingers.

BTW, I just reread The Fwoosh's First Look of Donatello, the reviewer's figure has the exact off-center eye that my Don has. I'm wondering if the whole run has this problem.

These without doubt will hit retail, so I'm waiting for that very reason, paint apps could vary. But at least Playmates is putting paint on these ones, unlike the 2009 trek figures. Anyone know who has the Trek 2 rights?

Actually I have a set of 4 Retro Turtles sitting in my Pile of Loot. BBTS fulfilled my pre-order yesterday. I ordered early & they must have received part of their order.
