Weird packaging

Front and back card art was clearly Bench Press, with no evidence of tampering. I'm guessing this was just sloppy packaging and not some weird swap-out by a crazy collector. Why would anyone do this? Anyone else seen weird packaging mistakes like that?

Ive seen them just slit the bottom and put a piece of tape over it, and it looks factory sealed... Bad move on hasbro's behalf.

But I guess if they opened figure A, that would be tough. But Hawk was not the most common figure to find...I could see some of the versions of Duke or the umpteenth Viper...Just seemed weird.
