I think everyone is rather missing the problem here. It's not people like us ripping open the bags, its CHILDREN doing it. Children running amok in the stores without any parental supervision just ripping and tearing stuff open because 5 year olds don't understand the concept of personal property or lack of ownership. When I first saw the blind bags way back when at the JCPenney outlet, the ground was literally littered with empty bags. Kids can rip them open quickly, stuff the pony in their pocket and mommy is none the wiser. If anyone is to blame here, it's people not watching their kids and just dumping them in the toy aisle while they do their other shopping.

Every time I've seen this happen the bags were all methodically opened, very neatly, and only the most sought after ponies were taken, like the sparkle ponies. That is not what you'd find if some random child just ripped open a few packs.

The times that I've seen blind bagged toys ripped through, it's methodical and the evidence was actually hidden behind a display case very obviously an adult or at the very least a teenager who knew what s/he was doing. Not a kid.I will, however, blame the parents for the open bags of toys on the back walls of the thrift stores - because I see kids open those and the parents say nothing.
Our walmart just restocked the W1 ponies They sell so fast that me personally I bought Roseluck then opened a whole bunch of bags and mainly got doubles *sigh* But thats ok Oncce I caught a kid of like 8-12 years old pack searching through some baseball cards, but had to leave them behind. So to teach a boy a lesson I took the 3 packs he had set aside in a hidden spot, I took them but replaced them with 3 other packs. And hid the packs on a different shelf one he couldnt reach. I told my then bf about the packs and he insisted I buy them. Come to find out they were jersey cards, each worth about $20. About a half an hr later the boy returned with his parents to "exchange" the cards. Then our distribuator quit selling to walmart for about 8 months after this incident. When they realized this child could tell what packs had what in them. It was game over for the honest buyers, who play fair and not check to see what the cards were. If I remember right his family isnt allowed in Walmart with him unsupervised. Much like myself I grabbed like 8 - 10 bling bags tonight just randomly. I dont care what I got. I can always resell them later
