August 13, 201411 yr I recently got 2 boxes that had a slight creases on the edge of the box, nothing too serious. I attached the two pictures, tell me what you guys think and if it is worth it for me to try to swap them out at the lego store. (For reselling purposes btw) Thanks.
August 13, 201411 yr Box condition is one of those topics that has been discussed extensively. Bottom line, it really doesn`t effect the value that much. Personally something like this would just be a waste of time to do, don`t worry about it. If the box is smashed/completely crushed it`s one thing, but small damage like this is fine. Most buyers buy to build thus eliminating the need for a perfect box. Some members here are very particular about this, for their own reasons, but it`s definitely not something to worry about most of the time.

I can post pictures of my one TB from Walmart. You'd be happy to have those.
August 13, 201411 yr I wouldn't worry about it. The time, gas, and effort spent is worth more than any perceived loss in value .

As you mentioned, "nothing too serious" :)
August 14, 201411 yr I can post pictures of my one TB from Walmart. You'd be happy to have those. I agreed. my TB from walmart is way way worse than this. A hundred times worse that this pic, like someone put the box vertically and sit on it. I am still trying to figure out how to exchange that with Walmart as they are out of stock now. They asked me to wait and monitor their stock and ask for exchange when it's available, but chance is slim I think (that they have stock)

Walmart was less than helpful, which is to be expected.
August 14, 201411 yr Don't bother with that too much, but when you will sell it, don't use a generic image, and make sure that the edge is visible so hardcore collectors who want a mint box will not be disappointed.
