The people who get burned aren't the stores-they're the people who buy the repacks without looking carefully and end up with crap.
These guys are ass-wipes-no doubt. |

I was at Target yesterday returning a pair of shoes that didn't fit. I was third in line at the customer service thing and the guy in front was returning a new Joe 5-pack. I saw this and my Spidey senses started tingling. I looked over everyones shoulders and saw that he replaced the stuff in there with a CP Shipwreck, an older Snake Eyes(VvV I think), replaced Hawk with that piece-a-crap CP Duke. Lady Jaye with the stupid hat and a TF Flint. I stepped in and asked him what pack that was because I wasn't sure if I had seen it yet. He was like "It's the newest one." I asked him if he'd ever been on hisstank.com. He said no. I told him that re-packers are frowned upon in the hisstank community and when the lady came back I told her what he was doing. She called some dude and had him get an identicle item off the shelf. BUSTED!!! I'm not sure what happened after that but I did see a security guard talking to him and on his radio at the same time. We left before I saw the end of what happened. I have never been so proud of myself in my life! Stopping someone from getting ripped off is a great feeling.

Boba Fett just looked over and nodded at you saying "Good Job". You're quite the bounty hunter!
I'd love to hear a follow-up report on this. Maybe go back to Target and ask the lady whatever happened to that guy. She'd probably be willing to say. This is inspiring. I almost want to sit at the bench in front of a Target and watch for people to walk up to the store with GI JOE items in bags for return. You can usually tell what they have. I wish someone would bust the a-holes in my area. Too bad you didn't get a cell phone pic of the guy so we could start a "BUSTED" thread.

My experience with "re-packing" is the stores dont seem to care. I found a repacked Joe 2-pack once and told customer service about it....they acted like they dident care. They took it from me saying theyll take care of it. I came back a few days later and the same figure was on the shelf again!
And even IF the "re-packer" gets caught....all they had to say was they bought it like that or something....regardless, I doubt there is anything the store could do. But anyways....great job 'tanker! I bet that guy never thought he'd be caught in a million years! NSP |
