I stopped by the Mckee/Capitol Target again to see if they'd stocked Wave 2/3 single figures, but it's still just the shelf-warmers from last June. They also put out a second HISS tank.
Of the 3 packs, only a single cobra invasion pack was left and there was something very wrong with it:
Dear scalper or collector who removed Firefly from the box and then put the box back like nothing happened,
it seems you believe that figure should have been released on a single card. Don't give me that look. I know it was you and not some kid who doesn't know the difference between Firefly and Stormshadow. The accessories, just Firefly's accesories, were gone, which means you knew which parts went with which figure.
Perhaps you've been waiting a long time for a modern remake of ARAH Firefly and thought it was JUST NOT FAIR that Hasbro forced you to buy those other two figures. Or maybe you thought you could make a quick buck selling it on Ebay. The reason doesn't matter.
That 3 pack is now unsalable thanks to you. And the more people who follow your example, the closer Target gets to saying it's not worth the effort to carry GI Joes. It's cheap jerks like you who are contributing to TEH DETH OF TEH LINE!!11! But maybe that's exactly what you want. If GI Joe collapses, that Firefly you pilfered would skyrocket in value....
YOU ARE A THIEF and you are stealing from a store which I frequent. Not only that, you are stealing from Hasbro, from all of us, and from the child who might end up with one of your SOLID GOLD TURDS for a birthday because Grandma didn't realize the package was short a figure.
I will keep my eyes open for grown men with grubby fingers in the toy section, and if I see you operating I will get the attention of the nearest employee. And if there is no one around I will point and scream at you pod-people style until everyone in the store knows there's a shop lifter amongst them
Much love,
Quantum_Penguin
