You'd like our local repacker then.
He replaced the 5-pack Baroness with the black VvV single card Baroness. In the Joe 5-pack, he replaced the new Timber with the old one, Lady J with some VvV female action figure I'd never seen, Flint with Tiger Force Flint, and Shipwreck with Copperhead comic Shipwreck. Strangely enough he left Polly alone. |

After reading all these posts about re-packers it makes me remember back to 1988 (I was 5), when I really, really really wanted the original Flint figure, which, of course, had been out of stores for years by that time. Well, my older cousin did a repack job on a Lt Falcon figure during one of our trips to the toy store so that I would find the original Flint figure. It's one of those early childhood memories about GI Joe that's stayed with me... probably why I'm still a collector.

There's a K- Mart by me that still has a Cobra Legions 5 pack on the shelf. Someone left Cobra Commander and Stormshadow in there, but repacked the rest of the figures with the same CC, SS, and Snake Eyes from the TRU Red ninja set. This Kmart also has a 1st DVD set with the Cobra Trooper swapped out for a TRU Night Watch Officer.
I think it's kinda funny, I know stealing is wrong, but I just figure this re-packer beat me to whatever it is I was looking for. If I got there before he did, I would have gotten it for myself. Whether someone buys it and keeps it, or repacks and returns it, they got to the toy before I did. Sucks for me b/c I have only been able to find 2 B.A.T.S. around my neck of the woods, and never found the Serpentor or Best Of DVD sets. That's not the repacker's fault, and please, let's leave Michael Moore's ass out of it? But his next movie should be about this! |

Wow, just when the RoC stuff came out and I got my collecting fire back, I come here and read this thread. It makes me remember why I left this place. Half of you couldn't care less about the topic at hand so you pick fights and drag this thread off topic, the other half are calling for and claiming to be willing to commit violence over petty theft. I think I will stop coming around here again, lest your anger and ignorance waste my time.

I wouldn't let this thread color your interest in the site or collecting the line. People come to this thread because they've been burned by repackers/thieves. I wouldn't necessarily call for their execution, but it is theft and completely wrong. I've come across several repack items including my only 2 sitings of the Shockwave/Destro 2 packs. i still don't have one because all I could find were repacks. So frustrating...
however, the ONE best of 80's alpine i find in the wild... guess which figure is missing.

Good riddance? I mean, if that is all it takes to "bring you down" then... heh. On topic, I have yet to see any repacks, however reading this thread did make me go over all my stuff, and as far as I can tell it does look good.. phew. I work at a store, and thieves, which is basically what repackers are, are a pain. |
