Found this one in Walmart yesterday. Really? For a shitty wave 1 Duke figure?
But at least he kinda tried to match up the colors to the original...

A few years back my local Wal Mart had a ton of the 25th Destro and Iron Grenadier comic packs on the shelf. Every one had the IG taken out and replaced with cobra air troopers. There were at least 12 packs with this done. I told the person in the toy department and they said oh well and left them there. I then wrote an email to WM headquarters letting them know about it. The store manager called and thanked me for letting them know about it and assured me he would have them removed from the shelf immediately. I went back in a couple days later and sure enough they were not on the shelf. Then I went back again the next week and they were all back out on the shelf. I wrote another email and never heard back and they stayed on the shelf until they started putting all the joe stuff on clearance.

I benefited from one of these a couple of years ago, when an Ironman 3-pack had its drone replaced with a Resolute BAT. |

first just wanna say.
toy companies have it comming cause they charge too much bunch of blood hungry tools!!!! I know I know but hey I kinda feel that way. so let it begin COME AT ME BRO! bring all the harsh words and hate toward me. but really guys if you collect WWE its the worse there. The mattel Boxes are designed for collectors to be able to open display and then return the figs to the box. U better believe that repackers are going nuts with wwe products. Mainly trading elite figures with basics and stealing things like belts and cloth goods. one thing I dont understand is why dont repackers just take what they want and then return the product and say its defective or a swap job that they themselves got screwed over with??? at least that way the stores wont put it back on the shelves some poor kid might get screwed over or his parents not knowing any better.

I must confess, I ALMOST did this when the Retaliation stuff first hit around this time last year. I was so disappointed with Roadblock's lumpen hand that briefly thought about buying a second 3-pack, swapping the hands out and then returning it. I couldn't bring myself to do it.

i had a ''service'' desk worker at meijer accuse me of repacking the other day...
i returned 2 MU professor X's and she looked at them and asked why i was returning them, just dont want them... she said ''these are clearly taped up, what did you take out?'' i got a little pissed, and told her to go look at the rest of the packaging of the MU figures...she was too lazy to do that, and returned them

Amazing how many people are willing to completely compromise their morals over a $10 toy. These repackers need to get some perspective, seriously.

The thieves pulling this crap don't care about any of the above.
