I was able to grab E18 Lawler and 2 B24 AJ last week off the Mattel website. When I arrived home and found the box, it was severely dented! I opened it to find that both AJ's had severely creased cards. Thankfully, Lawler was in good shape.
Being a MOC collector, it always makes me upset to see things handled this way. Now the AJ I got for myself and for my friend (who is also a MOC collector) are both ruined.
Just wanted to share my story and see if any other MOC collectors share my frustrations.

Though I collect loose, I feel for you MOC collectors. My E12 Kane from them came with his picture practically ripped off the carding. They're not great with shipping, though I usually receive their stuff within days of ordering. Ringside usually is okay, but my E19 came beat to hell over the holidays, too. It's definitely a gamble unless you pay a packaging premium.

I feel ur pain, I used to be a MOC collector but I had to stop n just collect loose, the only figures I have MOC are the ones that are autographed, I have a lot more space and I don't get frustrated when figs come in the mail and the cards are damaged

For the most part, they aren't super careful when they pack their stuff. Seems like it's hit or miss with them as sometimes I've gotten padding in the box, and other times I've gotten nothing so they're free to bend, smash, etc. I haven't gotten my AJ figures yet, but hopefully they're not all in bad shape. I don't expect them to be pristine or anything like that, but I usually hope for at least one of them to come out clean.

I feel your pain dude. The Walmart near my work just had a bunch of Basic 24 figures including AJ's. I'll keep an eye out for two of them before heading to work tomorrow morning if you want.

I recieved some stuff with banged up cards and was told moc only means the figure is mint on the card. So technically you recieved moc figures. You want MOMC. Yea it pisses me off when I pay extra for a DM savage and E7 Hornswoggle thinking the card isn't trashed only for them to show up and find out I may as well have saved some $$$ and purchased loose ones. So I understand what you mean, but call it what it is you collect MOMC not MOC and that comes from 2 mods on here who explained I got what was described lol. The lesson I learned is ask lots of questions and ask for pictures.
