Busted a re-packer today!

I was at wal-mart this morning swapping out my Tropic Thunder dvd for a copy that worked. I look at the guy next to me and he has two awe strikers he is returning but leatherneck was removed and replaced with a different generic figure in both of them. So I told the lady that was taking care of him and she called a manager up and brought one from the shelf to see what it should look like. When I left the where still up there talking. I hope this puts a stop to it at my area because it has gotten really bad. He was ready to kill me, but I didn't care because if you want a figure pay for it.

Good for you! However, I hope he wasn't someone who accidentally bought a re-pack. It's happened to me before. But based on your story, I doubt it.

Seriously. This crap runs rampant in my neck of the woods. I hate it. Pieces missing, replaced, etc. If you can't afford the hobby, don't be in it. Concentrate on real life matters if cash is that hard up.
