This is getting ridiculous. Its collectors doing it and its sad. I Wish Hasbro would make it where you have to tear open or destroy part of the package in order to open it. Something so that stores couldn't put opened items back on the shelves and swapped items would be obvious to spot for the idiots at the return desk. I don't mind tearing the package to open a figure so long as the Filecard is fine, MOC's shouldn't mind either since they don't open them.
This is worse for the hobby than scalpers. At least scalpers sell the figure to collectors. Swappers just steal from collectors, kids, stores, and Hasbro all with one move. Sad, sad, people. Last edited by sisco; 02-12-2009 at 08:00 PM.. |

The thing that sucks is I'd hate to think that a kid who doesn't know better is getting jipped by guys like this.

This is the first time I have ever seen this in the wild. I took a weekend trip to visit my parent in Monroe, NC and decided to hit up a Walmart over there... the one at Indian Trail to be more specific, and found this sitting next to an unmolested Ghost Hawk. Sad thing is it was probably some collecter.. and probably someone on here. Whoever did this better hope that I never stumble upon them...
wow i still would have bought that! if anyone needs a lift ticket don't steal Him I will sell you MINE! |

Anybody that would commit such petty theft is lower then low.

Found the same thing at my local Target when the newer wave 2 packs were just hitting the pegs. I know Wild Bill is unpopular, but this is ridiculous
