Check out this RARE PACKAGING VARIANT I found at my local W*M!
Near as I can tell, somebody removed the entire bubble from the backer card. There was an indentation where it had been stamped on, but no signs of glue or tape or anything, like someone had come in with one of those pocket-steamer deals and just melted the bubble-glue clean off. I'm guessing this was a VERY clever scalper-type; a little kid trying to steal a toy would just pull the bubble off, art and all, and I figure even the most brain-damaged employee would notice there was nothing hanging on the card when they stocked the shelf. They also shoved it to the back of the pegs - I put it out front so I could take a picture. If you did it, and you're reading this, I hate you. Last edited by Hooper_X; 09-04-2008 at 04:25 PM..

I saw a wave 7 Snake Eyes stolen from a WM last week. They left all the accessories and just took the figure... Sad
