I went to drill this weekend and on my way back I stopped at a TRU (for Indy tankers its the one off 31 south of the city).

A closer inspection of the box yeilded no evidence that I could see of tampering. The tape was intact on the box, and the figure was mounted solidly on the card behind the clear plastic (which was not cut or damaged either). So I have to wonder if this was some kind of factory mistake? or maybe repackers are really skilled in this part of Indy?
In any case, if it was a repack, its strange they would use such an obscure figure like this one. I already bought 2 wolfhounds (so I could get both variants of Whiteout), so I left it on the shelf.
Just because the tape looked "intact" to you doesn't mean that it wasn't tampered with.
These re-packers are a shady group. They are theives, so they knpw exactly what to do in order to cover up the perfect crime. I bet that the Wolf Hound was gone as well and probably replaced with the Rockslide.
I once bought a Target exclusive Python Patrol Conquest x-30. The tape looked fine but in the box was this...
I think that it's highly unlikely for a toy company to accidentally put a figure from last year in a box from this year because they wouldn't have that figure inside the factory any longer.
