Tightly-wrapped cellophane with no easily-accessible seams? That's one thing. Three times as many security stickers as absolutely necessary (that, mind you, shred and stick to fingers if you so much as breathe on them funny) are another.

It is some sort of cruel irony that the day that the Burning Crusade is released, I have to work a shift at the library instead of continuing to experience the awesomeness of the draenei. Graaaargh. I'm halfway through my shift now, and it's been the longest damn hour-forty-five I've experienced since I don't know when.
