The bad news is that the bezel is blemished, and there's a protective film over the window in the presentation box that's all mangled -- not appropriate for a "Collector's edition".

This is all normal. Pretty much all of the ones I have looked at have faint blemishes on the bezel. And I am not entirely sure what you mean by "mangled", but it's pretty common for the protective film to be a bit wrinkled and not quite on right. Just remove it, it's not supposed to be kept on the box (and arguably wasn't supposed to be there in the first place).

Which unboxing video? I've not seen any that are sold in boxes that have that film; I think that's reserved for pre-production/prototype units.
