Hahahahaha i know these repackers are the scum of the earth,but i honestly think if i saw one that i liked id be tempted to try and get it for a knocked down price from the store, i was quite taken by the MU gigantic battle cantina alien packs that showed up a couple of months back......if these people used a bit of imagination the repacks could become quite collectible....

They can't be an expert on every item in the store, toys or non-toys. In the case of action figures, if the figure resembles the artwork then they probably assume it is the right figure. Keep in mind, those people are not collectors. They don't understand the collector market or the differences between this Viper or that Viper. They can't be expected too. You are looking at this from your very narrow view of the problem. The alternative is to just not accept returns for action figures at all. Now the store has just punished the majority of people that are doing the right thing for the minority that are thieves. Who wins in that scenario?
I once found a 25th DVD set ("Best of" pack actually) and someone had replaced everything except for the camera with 2002 O-ring figures (not even the same characters) I pointed this out to the returns lady and showed her what the back of the package showed should be in there. She told me I was wrong because the scotch tape on the box wasn't cut this must have been a factory error. I tried explaining that the figures in the box hadn't been made for 8 years or so, but she wasn't hearing it. She was right and I was wrong and apparently didn't know what I was talking about. |

They only hire Jerry's kids at Walmart anyway....
same with TJ Maxx, and Marshalls. I found 2 comic packs at TJ Maxx, the plastic bubble had obviously been cut open, and the heads were stolen. I figured I could still use the parts, so I took them up to the counter to see if I can get a discount. The counter lady said there was nothing wrong with them and refused to give me a discount. I mean...yeah ok they were already on clearance at 3.99. But their fucking HEADS were missing! What parent was gonna buy these for their kid?

I have seen this twice at two different Walmarts in FL -- Ocoee and Kirkman Rd. Somebody has returned GI Joe figures, and MU, and swaped the figures with a cheap knock off toy. A Cobra Commander with Sun Glasses, a Snake eyes, and a Cap Red Skull with painted red head and different body.
How does this stuff get through the returns department and back on the shelves? Had the urge to say something to CS...but they don't care. |
