Important Policy Regarding Blind Boxes, Sealed Collectibles & Diminution of Value
Please read carefully before unboxing or opening your items:
- Standard for Inspection: Under statutory consumer law, you are permitted to inspect and examine the items in the same manner as you would in a physical retail store.
- Nature of Blind Boxes & Collectible Integrity: Most of our products are strictly factory-sealed, mint-in-box (OVP) collectible items and blind boxes. The commercial and collectible value of these items is inherently tied to the pristine, untampered condition of the packaging, outer seal, and the undisclosed surprise nature of the blind box.
- Significant Depreciation of Value upon Opening (up to 100%):* **Seals & Boxes:** If the **outer shrink-wrap, tamper-evident seal, or the blind box itself is opened, unsealed, torn, or damaged**, the item instantly loses its mint collector status and cannot be resold as a new, unopened product. * **Compensation for Lost Value:** In accordance with statutory regulations (§ 357a German Civil Code / EU Consumer Rights Directive), you are liable for any diminished value resulting from handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature and characteristics of the goods. * **Deduction from Refund:** For opened blind boxes, unsealed packaging, missing collector cards, or broken inner foil bags, we reserve the right to deduct the corresponding loss in value (which, due to the unique nature of blind collectibles, may amount to **up to 100% of the item purchase price**) from your refund. * Opened mystery bags or figures returned without their original packaging, collector cards, or accessories are completely non-resellable as new items.
