I’ve heard stories at Hobby Lobby of finding “sealed” kits having missing parts. What they do is cut along the box bottom edges, open it, get what they want/need and close it back up, put it back on the shelf. This is mostly with car kits.

That is one of the smartest things ever written on SPAM. I'm on my way to the basement now...
