Ok, here goes...
I am new to this website as a forum member. I work at a comic and collectibles store called Vintage Stock here in Springfield MO. I am the toy guy, and I have a guy that sometimes brings me carded and loose 25th anniversary stuff. Today he came in with something very odd. It was a comic two pack for Lt.Falcon and Nemesis Enforcer. The card was sealed with the original tape and apart from some slight shelf wear on the bottom it was in perfect shape. The tape was not peeled back and replaced anywhere. Lt. Falcon was right where he was supposed to be, but instead of Nemesis Enforcer there was.....a 1987 Hydro Viper!!! First off I thought it was a fake,and still do. But you can always tell if the tape was pulled back and then replaced, or x-acto knife marks and all that. Apparently it was bought by the mans wife at WM in Kansas City. It makes no sense. I have see many weird packaging what nots and doo dads, but this takes many a cake. I took pictures of it with my cell phone. Someone please respond so that I can either post them or e-mail them too you. Last edited by signals3; 08-12-2008 at 04:33 AM.. |

Check the Bottom for a slice there shouldnt be ANY tape on the bottom.
And Its SUPER Easy to get the *exact* tape hasbro Uses. If you need a link I'll be glad to help. And use a Hair Dryer or Heat gun to remove the Factory tape and adhesive. Replace with new Tape. Its fairly simple to do. Reminds me of the Weather Dominator Pack that MAGICALLY had some JvC or some such Lady Jaye in it. |

Well, thats why I didn't buy the stupid thing. BUT, they were just as perplexed, and it was the guys wife that bought it, and why would she care. It was sealed sooo well too. It just struck me as such a silly thing to do too as they know I wouldn't buy something like that to sell at the store. Anyway, it was just goofy and so I thought I would bring it up. I am glad I got such a nice reasoned and well thought out response so quickly.

dude you would be surprised how well someone can repack somthin. I've seen some really sneakie stuff lately at my local WM, cause I doubt hasbro would pack lanyard the corps line of figs instead of joes in a wave 3 comic pack. Cause thats what I've seen, and damn if it did'nt look untampered with.

I wanted to give them the benefit of the doublt, but I really would rather call them on it. Don't these fools know that I am not to be fooled. Even if I am not sure, and I was 99.9 percent sure, I still have resources like you true blue Joe folks (I collect TF's) to ask. Thanks for the ammo.

At least these guys still try to match the colors of the switched figures instead on some random unwanted figure from his stash.

I need to start a website called toyscalpers.com. We could have people upload pictures of toy scalpers they see, tampered toys, etc.

That would be a bad idea. It would make some people try harder to have their work seen on the site.
