repacked Jungle Viper at Nisky Target Saturday night. Gave it to an employee and showed him the 2 that were not repacked, he understood what happened but was weirded out by it. We as collectors know if somethings repacked, but the holidays are coming. Some parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle is going to be buying toys, and some kid is gunna end up with crap because someone in the capital region is an asshat. Someone had grabbed the other two Jungle Vipers as of 830 sunday night.
Having said that, what goes around comes around. I hope these repackers have all their precious toys destroyed in some appropriate manner. |

The Colonie Target had this repack problem for a while tho I haven't seen it there in quite a spell, but there has been a rash of it at Nisky for a while without signs of it stopping.

not joe related but i need to vent for a sec-
was supposed to have second interview with big box retailer in Utica area on friday. 30-45 minute drive for me. get there and a dept manager tells me that the store manager is tied up in an emergency conf call and that he cant meet with me. i said ok, i'll be in the area for a little while give me a call if he gets free. hour goes by and my phone rings- can you come back, he's available now? so i go back only to have the same guy i already talked to tell me that the manager is still not available and that he's going to interview. spend a half hour with him after which he goes to check if the manager is free yet- he's not. says i'll get a call to set up another interview. didnt hear anything for the rest of the day nor have they called today. i am more than a little frustrated. i really need a job and thought that it would be great to work at this place. |

How bad was it? It sounds like it was a "blank" head on a Superman torso, with Skelator legs with Duke's arms.
I don't know how much of a problem it was, but I saw repacks at the Albany and Latham WM around last Xmas time. Funny thing is that I don't recall ever seeing a repack at a TRU or Target (of course that seems to be changed). |

Sheesh...if you are looking for a repack at the Colonie Target, the Marvel Universe 2 pack figs include a Snake Eyes instead of the MU fig....Sad!

Cobra Medic, which think was only available online? That was what was in the Jungle Viper package. He's teal colored and has medical instruments on his chest?
