Recently found a Retaliation Firefly at Wal-mart in Arizona that had been repacked with (what appeared to be) a bad repaint of one of the later redo's of vintage FF. It immediately caught my eye as being so different and yet so familiar. It was very green and had a big ol' cobra symbol on his forehead. Anyway, it kind of disgusted me, but I gave the douche' credit as the repacking job looked top notch. No scotch tape job on this guy.

Not JOE but I've got a LEGO Minifig Series 9 that I have to take back to the Clarksville Wal Mart soon. I was overly excited about finally finding them and didnt pay as close attention as I should have. I was looking for one of the Space Orc figs. I picked up a bag and felt the armor piece first thing. Didn't bother checking anything else. I get home and find that the damn bag was stapled shut over the barcode. Either the WM CS jokes accepted an item as a return with staples in it and put it back on the shelf, or an employee found an open bag, didn't check the contents, and stapled it shut with whatever was left. Now I get to go back and try to return it. Fun.

Wait, what?
There's been an actual Repacker thread this whole time, and others constantly start new threads when they find repackaged figures? Repacking is rare in my area, but I did find this last week at TRU. Spoke with an associate about what repackers do and she spoke to a manager about it, when I left. |

Found my first figure swap yesterday. What amazed me is the amount of work this person put into making it look as authentic as he could. It was the body of a Dollar General Duke figure, with 25th anniversary Clutch's head. The package was from a Retaliation Flint. The package looked nearly flawless, and it took me a bit to find where it had been opened. Not only that, but the picture of the Flint figure on the front of the package had been carefully cut off in such a manner that it looked machine cut.

All that trouble for a Retaliation Flint???? Really?? I'd rather have either the DG Duke or Clutch than that melon-headed monstrosity!

I saw the Invasion Trooper 3-pack with a single card red ninja in place of the Invasion Trooper. Oh yeah, Firefly's explosives were missing too!
I saw an Airborne-less 3-pack and replaced with Joe Colton's body and a SE head. And perhaps the stupidest thing I saw was with the Cobra Fury. Last one on the shelf, box was already opened. I see it is a 75% complete Cobra Rage. $22 later, my rage is complete with extra missiles and mines. So sometimes it is pathetic and sometimes works out. |

I find myself laughing at the pictures of swaps. Most are so bad you almost have to admire (but not really) the balls on the person returning it.
