There are some incredible stories out there, but there's also a lot of BS. Which is almost more unbelievable that people would lie about such things, but that's the actual truth. Which is more scary than people repacking gold for nickels.
I find it odd that people think this is so rare? I have seen this in the stores plenty of times. I agree with another member who said it is how HASBRO is packaging. (Like we all can't wait for the recarded Tele-Vipers?) It started with the Star Wars battle packs. How many times did we see red or grey clone troopers replaced with common white ones in those packages? I saw it in the SW Commic Packs. Someone took about 3 of those that had the Tie Pilot w/removeable helmet and replaced them with Mace Windu's. That was bad. Then last week I saw K-Mart had an evolutions Queen Amidala 3-pk. They replaced them with a Padme Amidala and 2 Princess Leah figures (including the very rare "Monkey Face Leah").
Just because I don't have a picture of them doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It seems to be happening more frequently. Some of us on this web page may even be doing it. I too would love to get a job at the returns counter. I'd shock the crap out of that person. I'd get a pic then and put them on the web!!!
Just imagine that grandmother who buys the GI JOE trouble-bubble 2pk that little JOEY put on his Christmas list. It's Christmas Morning... little JOEY opens this gift... his Christmas is ruined. All thanks to someone who stole the figures from the pack and returned it with a DUKE and a COBRA OFFICER. Don't ruin Christmas for Little Joey!!! YO JOE!!! (This has been a public service announcement)
