the 2012 trivial drivel thread

They fucking package toys like they're nuclear bombs these days. There's no WAY to get them out of the damn plastic and twistie ties with any hope that the packaging will resemble the original. Take them back. I've discovered (by way of recent returns) that stores often have better return policies than I would anticipate. They just throw them in a bin somewhere and charge it back to the manufacturer (I guess).
