Today, I was checking out at Target where they just received the new army builder case and I am buying the Cobra Trooper. It was Minty Fresh and most likely I was going to just hang it on the wall as I have enough Cobra Troopers loose as it is. So I sit it down for the checker and she scans it. As I grab my wallet, she clamps down on the j-hook area and proceeds to use my figure as her own personal fan!! Which, of course, puts a huge crease down the center of the card...ARRGH..
A few months back, at this same Target, I was buying an Indiana Jones Mighty Mugg and the gal all of a sudden grabs the box and SLAMS it down on the counter, says something to the effect of "GOT IT", puts it down. Apparently, she saw a bug and sure enough a bunch of bug juice is all over the bottom of the box...No I'm sorry I used your product as a flyswatter, or I regret scaring the small children that our in the lanes beside me, just a GOT IT..then a I HATE BUGS comment!

Lmao! Great story!. Told my wife about this whom she works at target said that you should have gotten a supervisor and explained tha you were a collector and this happened to you. The supervisor would then have written the casier up and gotten you another figs for free of charges. Hmm interesting with what she said.

I would have demanded she go back to the aisle and bring me another one. If I am buying something it is in the act of becoming my property. I would be pissed if someone mauled my property.

I cringe how the checkers handle figures. You can always bag your own stuff.

I find that if you say, "could you please be careful with that toy it is a collectors item" works well.
