For me, it was buy a Joe 5-pack at Target and a Cobra 5-pack at TRU, return the Joe pack to TRU, and kept the Cobra pack at the Target price. |

You know, I really don't think that was shady. It's not like TRU got something with a selling price of less than what left the store. It balances out in the end.
I sometimes return things because I found another in better packaging, but when I'm buying something to open, I try to get the most damaged packaging available, as long as the paint looks good. That's about it for me, though. |

The Shadiest thing I ever did was pay a kid $5 to make pretend he was my nephew and throw a fit in TRU, causing one of the employees to go look in the back stockroom for the rest of Bruticus (G2).
Wow, that was foooooooreeeeeeeeeeever ago! LOL! |

HHhmmm let's see...I would sweet talk a cashier that worked at a toys r' us. She would give me a discount and hooked me up with alot of stuff back in the day.
Oh' well the old days. The best part of it all she was really cute.

When I started collecting as an adult in '96, I'd go to my local comic-book guy and trade him Battle Corps Joes for early 80s because mine had more accessories and he didn't know the difference between an '82 Clutch and a Mega Marine.
The next day, I'd come in to the same shop and ask if I could root through his loose accessory drawer. It was a literal dresser with every drawer full of loose accessories. I'd fill ziplock baggies with everything I needed to complete the Joes I bought. The next day, I'd make him an offer on a stack of filecards. -PJ |

Damn paying a kid to throw a fit! That is pimping at its finest. You would make a shrewd businessman.

Oh, but has anyone actually sneaked into a back stockroom???
I've done that. . .and got kicked out almost everytime. But even when I did get away with it, I couldn't find what I was looking for. :( :p -PJ |
