It would have been more fun without the stuff getting pulled from my cart but I did get the S7 Chaos.
Some of the items have small chips or scratches so checking the descriptions slowed me down but then again I noticed the standing Hedorah I was considering had chips and passed so glad I took the time to read.

This is actually a really good point and definitely one of the things that makes Mandarake tricky. They often use images of the same figure bagged to advertise the "opened, used, slightly damaged" version that you will be receiving. In my haste to snap something up I've gotten hosed on this before. That said, with stuff like this it rarely sits for more than a few seconds so sometimes it's worth the risk I guess.

Yeah I almost jumped on the crazy looking Bigaroid till I read "with tiny scratch-like stains". It can get tricky being cautious yet speedy as not miss out on some of what appear to be bargains.

Holy cow... looks like Mandarake had their own little Valentine's day sale.  Lotsa really nice stuff for cheap.

I've also bought stuff from them a few times that said in the description that it was without packaging and when it arrived it was bagged. You never know.
