Default Question about the Blu-ray Godfather set for those who bought it in retail stores

Well I bought The Godfather Blu-ray set on eBay and got it in today. First thing I noticed was the shrink-wrap didn't feel like the factory type shrink-wrap, it felt like one of those in home ones (I noticed the difference because I worked in retail for two years and we had to shrink-wrap games and loose items for resale)

Second the side was open, might be because of how weak the plastic was but I don't know. And third there was no white sticker sealant on the actual blu-ray case. My question is for those who bought the set at retail stores like Wal-mart or Best Buy, did it have the white sticker seal on the actual case or is this common?

me personally, I think the guy just took an actual Godfather Blu-ray box slip and put in bootlegs. I haven't tried it yet so, just getting reassurance.

no white sticker and they used that cheap shrinkwrap like people use to reshrinkwrap items so it will be hard to tell. I highly doubt some slid 'bootlegs' in there.

The actual amaray case was inserted in a paper like slipcase

I got mine from Blockbuster. I remember it having regular shrink wrap, and the book on the back. Then, the case inside was also sealed with shrink wrap with the white sticker with the Godfather label on top. Hate to say it, but I think you might have gotten riped off. Make sure the quality of the discs are actual blu-ray quality with the blue coating on the bottom of the discs, and make sure the labels onto of each disc has the blu-ray symbol. There should also be four discs total in the case. Hope this helps.

The shrink wrap only had the "First Time Ever on Blu-Ray High Definition" sticker. I can't tell if the second sticker below that was actually removed.

I checked I they have all the stuff you said they should have. I just didn't like the fact that it didn't have the seal and the actual blu-ray case seemed a little worn. The just don't like the fact that the seller advertised it as brand new.
