While I specifically mentioned slipcover collectors because there are a lot of them here (I am not one), the issue with the Target theft deterrent goes far beyond damaging cardboard slips.

I have seen entire collector's editions nearly mangled due to the spider-legs. I would not give that as a gift to myself or even my most casual movie watching friend, because it would be paying full MSRP for a product which is damaged to the point where it doesn't look new.

Dented digibook corners are inevitable and can happen during transport from the manufacturer. Slipcovers being imperfect is not uncommon. The entire FRIENDS complete edition set being half crushed due to theft deterrent devices added by the store is a different issue.

Amazon not catering to anal slipcover fanatics who want bubblewrap and box shipping for single movie orders is one thing.

Target doing this to their products is another....would you give this to someone as a gift?
