The person most likely to be duped is a parent buying it for a kid who is potentially a new Joe fan...
We really need new Joe fans to keep the Brand alive but do you think that at Christmas or a birthday that gets unwrapped you think he is gonna continue being a fan? Probably not after that!! Seems like a lot of Joe fans are cheap and thats putting it nicely. I pay around 20 dollars a figure by the time it's posted out to me and I don't feel obliged to steal a toy as a grown man I work a shitty job but I pay my way!! I hate it when I see Douchebags doing this stuff... the other day I saw a guy called Nathaniel Johnson posting on a facebook group called Gi Joe community how he was swapping some Crappy joe figure over for a 3 pack firefly as if he felt guilty or something and he wanted props for being honest about doing it... The guy was really just slapping in the face all the honest collectors out there who do their bit for their favourite brand of collectables! Imagine if it was 1% of all the Joe stuff and how this would effect sales figures etc... I wonder how many people have stopped buying product because of some peoples selfish behavior?

Yes it's Hamleys the biggest toy store in the UK! I am not massively keen on it though it just seems to have the mainstream british released toys!! Shame retaliation was never released here would have been great to see a big display of them!! I am struggling to find wave 2.5 figures!! Will have to keep checking Dorkside in the hope he restocks!

You would think. I returned a Hiss 5 to Walmart that someone had taken the guns out of, and informed them of such. Two weeks later, there's the one I returned, sitting on the shelf, obviously opened (getting all of the parts to fit back in the box without it bulging is beyond my level of skill).
The situation isn't so cut and dried, which is why people continue to get away with it. I had bought a Marvel Universe figure from TRU that ended up missing it's left hand (it was obscured by the packaging and I couldn't tell until I had ripped it open that the hand was missing). I went back to TRU and exchanged it for another one, of course. However, a week later I went back to browse around, and what do I see hanging on a peg? THE SAME DAMN FIGURE, still missing it's hand, it's packaging sloppily taped closed. It looked like complete shit. I mean, they just threw a defective toy back on the shelf. I wish I had taken a picture. I can't believe someone could give so little of a shit about their job or their customers. I understand that it's a crap minimum-wage job and all, but come on. I'm a dick, but even I wouldn't do that.

I haven't seen the Transformer thing at all, but I've seen this moreso with Star Wars than anything else (although Joes are next on that list!) Star Wars it seems that they are constantly re-releasing characters with better versions, whereas Joe collectors just seem to be cheap.

I'm surprised that the Jurassic Park joe figures still have heads on them at any toys r us out there. These things are not even behind plastic and the heads are just begging to be ripped off by a lowlife. It's dumb associates at these stores. And hasbro's stupid packaging design on JP.
... It's just getting fun! Not so much. I've seen many repacks where this was claimed, and even some I've taken to a manager and pointed out, and within a few days they are back on the shelves. I'm done pointing this out, the managers are going to try to sell them still, I'm not going to waste my time playing "repack police." |

I saw this in Target a few weeks ago. Someone bought this Retaliation 3-pack, took everything out, stole all the accessories and weapons, and stuffed the figures back in as sloppily as possible (holy shit, Kamakura is BACKWARDS). And someone at Target actually took the package back like THIS:

This is true, and here's a story that proves that.
I had bought a Marvel Universe figure from TRU that ended up missing it's left hand (it was obscured by the packaging and I couldn't tell until I had ripped it open that the hand was missing). I went back to TRU and exchanged it for another one, of course. However, a week later I went back to browse around, and what do I see hanging on a peg? THE SAME DAMN FIGURE, still missing it's hand, it's packaging sloppily taped closed. It looked like complete shit. I mean, they just threw a defective toy back on the shelf. I wish I had taken a picture. I can't believe someone could give so little of a shit about their job or their customers. I understand that it's a crap minimum-wage job and all, but come on. I'm a dick, but even I wouldn't do that. BTW, when we find a damaged item we go straight too claims and scan these items out while we are calling on the store so this doesn't happen. It is a shame that Wal-mart/Target/TRU/whomever doesn't care enough about the vendors that they would get a pass even from a manager to put the damaged product back out on the floor if they have full knowledge it is indeed damaged.

Got some good ones today, fresh from Target...I cracked up when I found these. Major LOLs @ the spare head someone tucked in to the Cobra Invasion pack.

Evil. Each accessory taped back into the plastic: Pure act of evil.
