Well, packaging errors rarely have any value above the normal toy. In some situations, it may have a lower value, as an MiB collector may would prefer the forrect packaging.

Factory packaging errors, when it comes to collectors and second hand value are a very niche market. More often than not, most of us would like to see it as it's something odd, but most people generally don't consider it worth any more than the normal toy.

If your buddy can find the collector that'll pay top dollar for it, more power to him. But those types are the exception, not the rule.

Early Star Wars has given a lot of people the wrong idea about toy collecting. In general, they make very poor investments. Few, and rare are the modern toys that command top dollar. And the ones that have instant returns usually don't keep that value, and are usually very hard to find (You *really* have to know what to look for).
