The Seedy Underbelly of the Halo Collecting World

Okay, so the problem isn’t specific to just Halo toys. It just so happens that they are mostly what I look at when I’m making the rounds at the local stores. This week alone, I’ve seen a Mega Bloks Pelican that had holes in it from people digging for the mini figures, and a McFarlane Master Chief Anniversary figure that was opened for the Legendary plaque pieces. I’d like to catch one of these scum in the act sometime. Anyway, just consider this a warning to check over the Halo goodies you pick up a the store with a fine-toothed comb before purchase. This is especially true of larger sets or figures with special or hard to find pieces inside.
