Aside from misprint galore, there's another big issue:
Appearently, some of the packages are not glued together, making it possible to switch out contents of the package.

Some people also reported that the glue can be undone with something like a razor blade if you're careful enough.
Considering this, I would be very careful ordering anything from Ebay or buying packs from a shop you can't trust 100%.
I love that the official Wizards response does nothing to rebuke these concerns, as if "don't buy packs from shady people" isn't common sense.

Some of my friends sell records,

There are also more videos popping up about that issue:You can be assured that the new Modern Masters 2015 packaging is subject to rigorous security, safety, and quality testing.

Is that more or less rigorous than the testing that their online platforms undergo?You can be assured that the new Modern Masters 2015 packaging is subject to rigorous security, safety, and quality testing.
Why would they try out new paper packaging on their most expensive premium product of the year?
Probably due to the limited print run. Normal boosters most likely move more units and cater to the "core" audience, so the backlash would probably even greater if something went wrong like it did here.
I applaud Wizards for being environmentally conscious with Modern Masters 2015. Not only will the packaging be recyclable, but the set sucks so hard overall that many of the people who wanted to re-experience the original Modern Masters will decide not to open boxes this time around, thereby reducing the carbon footprint even further.
Report from one of the stores in Central Jersey:
A degenerate traded in a few revised dual lands for a box of MM2015. He opened all the packs, kept a Tarmogoyf, and then traded the remaining rares and some more duals for another box of MM2015. He opened the 2nd box of MM2015, then traded all the rares from that 2nd box and and some cards from his binder for a third box to crack.
At the end of the day, the maniac had a lone Tarmogoyf, some Eldrazi and other rares totaling to about a few hundred dollars.
The store got a pile of Revised duals (including a few french WBB Volcanic Islands), a whole trade binder, some MM2015 rares and a large stack of MM2015 commons and uncommons.
How about that for common sense
