You don't need to shove everything in people's face to sell it.
Have any of you ever seen a commercial that effectively uses silence? That is a very effective technique. So this is either a "happy accident" to quote the great Bob Ross or a very smart marketing campaign that tests the market while at the same time teasing would be collectors.

Here are the Toys-r-Us SKUs, if it helps anybody. You should be able to call the stores around you and have an employee look up whether they have these or not.
12pack:

I will check the TrU's in my city for you - last I was there they had quite a few packs.That would be great if you could pick me up a 12 pack and a set of 4 packs. I am a truck driver
That goes all over the northeast, I have checked a couple dozen tru stores and none of them have
These toys up here!
I also deliver to kmarts reguarly (2 3 times a week) in ny nj ct pa vt nh and me, and I always check for th slugs there, so if I see any start to show up I'll let you guys know.

Has anyone found a way to tell which figure is in the mystery pack without opening it? Codes, makings etc?
Seem lik people just rip open the bottom of the coffin, I've seen quite a bit of that

Do these people realize that (for this first series at least) the only figures that come in the single packs are the 8 non-exclusives.
Can you imagine: *rip* "aww, a non-exclusive", *rip* "another non-exclusive", *rip* "man, another non-exclusive, when will I find a Mighty Bite Mac?!" *rip* *rip* *rip*, "well that's the whole box".
I kind of hope they keep it this way, because if in later series they actually start adding exclusives to the single packs this type of behavior could turn into a serious problem.

no matter what, there's gonna be this problem. the toys r us near me has 12packs that are ripped open also, and you find this alot in collector card packs where they'll open packs in stores, or some people can even "pack-search" without opening the packs. very dirty and underhanded stuff in my opinion.....but sadly will always be a problem
Oddly enough I don't notice this happening with other blind packaged toys that are being sold widely today like those Gogos Crazy Bones things. Maybe people think they are going to be able to look in the cardboard box and re-seal it but end up damaging the box in the process?
I have to admit, I remember peeking in MIMP secret 12 packs when I was a kid to see which ones were in there. But I think that was able to be done pretty easily without damaging the boxes at all.
