Sadly this is becoming more common, so call up LEGO and ask for a new one.

I was going to keep all of the collectible minifigures series 26 sealed but seeing
this. Im going back to opening them up. I think I found the source of the damage.

Once again LEGO speeding up production, putting not fully dried instructions
into the box staining the part

So, do you believe it is the ink from the instructions? Do you feel it is possible
to be cleaned off without damaging the printing?

Tested on tile and while I could remove some most of it was still there after
10ish minutes of erasing/rubbing. With that in mind I might be able to but at
that point I would have to list it as used and put a warning on it

This is really unfortunate. I wonder if the change in packaging has anything
to do with this. Poly bags really didn't allow for much jostling, the boxes
seem to rattle quite a bit.

Thank you for posting your results here.

Also, it is refreshing to see a new seller so conscientious about doing things
correctly. Keep up the good work and never stop learning.

I do my best. I’ll be contacting Lego sometime later today though and we’ll see
what happens
