LEGO Haul disaster

In my most recent mail haul, I experienced something luckily I have never experienced before. Every single package had something wrong with it.

First and most obvious with The Brick Bounty. When I picked up the box, it didn't feel right. It felt as if it was empty at the top. I opened it right away to make sure I received the correct item, to see that the box had been crushed.

The listing said it was new in a sealed and perfect box. That was not the box I was looking at. I reached out to the seller, but found out he did not purchase insurance to cover damages. I asked about possibly returning it even though the listing stated no refunds.

The seller reached out to me and asked what amount I would take to keep the item. I told him I would check the condition of the pieces in the box and get back to him. After recording the video below, I recorded myself opening the Brick Bounty. From initial inspection, everything seemed to be intact. I won't know until I actually build the ship, which I was not planning to do since I already have one.

Second was by a seller that I have purchased from multiple times. He sent me four minifigs that looked like the ones I ordered, but not. They seem to be Imperial Redcoats that were MOCs. The torso was just some random red shirt pattern with an odd head. I reached out to the seller and he will be sending out the correct one...possibly.

Lastly, there was an vintage Imperial Soldier that came with purple (at least that's what it looked like to me, I have a color vision deficiency) arms. When I went to replace the arms, they were so brittle that they exploded.

Don't believe me, watch my video here.
