Probably something you should start to expect to see more of, unless buying early, when the title is released. We didn't get into UHD until a couple years ago, so we've been playing catchup for most of our UHD purchases. I'd speculate that roughly 50% of our new UHDs have been rewrapped returns. How many had previously used codes I don't know, as I don't use them. I sold a few that had been used, but it was a longtime buyer who was understanding and waited on me to get a new code from the studio, since I could prove the item was purchased new. It shouldn't be too difficult to get one for something as recent as Meg 2. If the disc and case look good, I'd recommend going that route, instead of returning it to amazon.
Our copy of Blue Beetle looked like some jack-hole used it to try to get ink flowing from a pen. The slip had impressions all over the front. The disc and case look fine though and it wasn't a rewrap, so if the disc plays fine too, I'll let it go. But even at these prices, it's frustrating, feeling like you've got to compromise or risk discouraging yet another retailer in their support of collectible media, which ultimately sends the same message to the studio, rather than being correctly interpreted for the colossal break-down that it is, in what has become an extremely callous, short-sighted shipping industry.
