ROC Barbecue figure ORANGE(UPDATE Confirmed As Repack)

[allenjaeger]

i am new and not sure if this was talked about or seen a picture. i have looked over all the check list and NEVER seen what i bumped into at toys r us 3 days ago. TRU sells the exclusive yellow painted barbecue figure, but i went to tru and looked through figure my nephew needs and found a ROC packaged ORANGE Barbecue with NO exclusive sticker on it, i bought it for $7.99. i will upload the picture of it, i took a picture of the found and back of the card before i gave it to my nephew. also a month ago i did see ONE SNow serpant That was not the exclusive with the regular paint job and i did not buy it, i have not seen that one since but ons on the exclusive black head ones

Welcome to the Tank!

Now that we are past that,

Pics or it didn't happen... :)

[allenjaeger]

i am uping pics to my computer right now give me a few minutes but the snow serpent i did not get a picture cause i did not buy it

[CobraCrimson]

You've been hit by a repacker I'd say. Probably bought both the Barbeque and Snow Serpent and repacked them with the 25th versions and returned them to the TRU to get the money back and still keep the new figures. Shady practice that alot of people are doing I'm affraid. Look out for a repacked Bench Press and Firefly too, probably the same person if you find those too.

[CobraCrimson]

Oh, and welcome to the tank too!

[Shin Densetsu]

Yeah it does sound like repacked figures in both cases.

[Sgt. Kayfabe]

Welcome. Now you can get all the heads up on repacks. ;)

[allenjaeger]

These RoC figures are sadly so easy to repack and be able to do so without leaving any clues behind. I did one joking around awhile ago and was deeply amazed and dissappointed at the same time as to how insanely easy it was to do without leaving a trace behind to make someone think otherwise.

Can you tell if this is a real Hasbro issued error or a repack?

[allenjaeger]

ROC Barbecue figure ORANGE i bought at toys r us, there was only one and this package was not a repack someone returned, the glue was factory sealed and so on

[allenjaeger]

[chief_1]

I hate to say it, but Anthony the repacker got ya....

[Beckley]

Reeeeeepack!
Welcome to the Tank!

[ero]

Now if that would have been on a Walmart rack for $5, it would have been worth it. Ah, maybe it is still worth it.

Anyhoo, welcome to the Tank! Enjoy your time here.

hahahah thats funny,

man but i do not see HOW this barbuecue is a repack ,i own BOTH the exclusive and this and gave them to my nephew. was this versio nof barbecue available in a vechile pack or something

[CobraCrimson]

What I don't understand is why someone would go through the effort of taking off the TRU Hall of Heroes logo sticker though?

[chief_1]

I'd rather have that one than the TRU exclusive.

At least he repacked the backpack, too...

[CobraCrimson]

Man, you have got to make that your new signature! I'm still laughing at that one.

[CobraCrimson]

The sad thing is, to repack these RoC single carded figures, you don't need to remove the bubble at all! Just carefully pull back the tape....well, I best not give any ideas, lol

[chief_1]

It would be better if they used that break-apart tape like a lot of stores use for price stickers nowadays...

It might be easier to tear open, but at least you would know somebody had been in there.

I must have eyeballed CS SE for a minute straight trying to make sure he wasn't repacked somehow when i finally saw him...

[allenjaeger]

my question the orange barbecue figure IF it is a repack, How was this figure originally issued. i have NEver seen it. can someone post a picture of its original packaging. this figure i have is the EXACT figure of the TRU exclusive except with the real paint job. anyway nephew was more excited to get the orange. and thanks you guys for info on repacks, i have seen repacks at walmart were someone bought resolute 5 packs and replaced all the figures inside which was real obvious

[Beckley]

I'd rather have that one than the TRU exclusive.

I agree, plus he left the gun in.
The nephew lucked out if you ask me, who wants florescent yellow when you can have the original?

[allenjaeger]

just read the above post on how to repack, man that easy hahahahahah. but it was cool to find this barbecue version anyway

thanks

[Skylancer81]

He was in wave 9 of the Gi Joe 25th/ME line in all his orange glory.

[allenjaeger]

well i am going to find the customs part of the forum and post some pics of the paint job i did for the nephew, he wanted a lava pod so i took his 2 mole pods and painted them up

[Shin Densetsu]

Welcome aboard man, but yes the other members are correct, it's a repack unfortunately.

[allenjaeger]

Ah, well. Great first thread! Something to talk about a year from now...

[Headman]

The orange Barbeque is a million times better than the RoC one anyway.

[Lody]

I hate to say it, but Anthony the repacker got ya....

AhhhhHAHAHAHAHAHA

Funny stuff brotha!

[Rocky]

The orange Barbeque is a million times better than the RoC one anyway.
Uhm, agreed.. consider yourself lucky.

[DaViper]

Now that's a repack I would buy. The yellow one sucked.

[Joecom]

Sorry that's a repack. welcome to the Tank

[Troynos]

thanks for the picture, man still do not understand WHY a person repacked the one i got, EVERYTHING was there

There is no understanding the mind of a repacker. They're idiots.

[evopete]

Honestly the Rongae one is better and the OG version.... pluse not easy to find anymore.. but yeah that looks like a repack...

[blackbarn]

I have the orange one, but I'd sure like the yellow one. Any of you guys who hate yours can send it to me. :D

Only once did I see a repack, but it was so obvious I couldn't believe it. Someone repacked the RAM/flight pod set with what looked like a ninja motorcycle and... get this... a purple jet ski from the Cobra BUGG! They left Breaker oddly enough, but the Televiper was replaced with a Storm Shadow. That thing sat on the shelves for at least a week, too!

[mister-x]

looks like a re-packer is on the loose in the big-easy....
welcome aboard

[Angry.Android]

I had got 2 Target Rescue sets as a gift from my lady, and they had both been molested by a repacker. The 2 snake eyes had been swapped for 2 of the CP Battle Damaged Snake Eyes. So i took them back to swap them out, and the other six on the shelves had been repacked with the same snake eyes battle damaged. very frustrating. I can see how my girl got tricked though, usually she's good about comparing the box/card art with the figure, but i guess she must have seen all 8 boxes with the same snake eyes and just assumed that was the correct pack-out.
