Damn, Utah has been somewhat immune to that crap it seems, until now.

Hopefully if they start requiring ID for all returns, it can curb this bad behavior.

I've maybe made it sound like an epidemic, but it probably isn't that bad. I'm talking about a timespan from the ARAHC stuff in 2000 up to now. So over that time period I've encountered a Locust (Dragonfly) and a 30th Skystriker that had been dicked with (if memory serves, I may be forgetting something) and sporadic sightings of figures with missing stuff. More than likely it's just the same one or two customizers. I say one or two customizers because I've noticed this mainly in Salt Lake, but Naptime mentions finding it in Layton too, the toys have all been G.I. Joe/other 3.75" figures (that's flawed though because I never look at other scales) and customizing isn't exactly a common hobby (the stealing of bits and pieces can really only be explained by customizing), so odds are against there being a plethora of customizers in Utah ransacking the toy shelves. I also remember something from a Target employee I once met at a party. G.I. Joe came up for some reason (maybe the movie was out) and conversation led to her telling me about this guy who kept exchanging the same G.I. Joe guy, each time with some lame excuse about it being broken. He did it like 3 or 4 times. This was in 2008-2009 or so. Sounds like maybe he was returning failed customizing attempts. Anyway, I'm kinda wondering if the headless Northstar was an aberration, like someone who doesn't steal often really wanted that head, but the TRU employee I talked with said it was becoming a problem, and that implies some frequency of occurrence. So, hell, I don't know. The whole thing is goofy. Last edited by SmokeBellew; 09-12-2014 at 07:57 AM.. |

So, hell, I don't know. The whole thing is goofy. When I was about 12 or so I traveled to the big city to go to the state fair and went in a KB toys. They had a huge stack of Cobra Mocasins on sale. I was standing there considering the option and spied the lone Wolverine. Decided to get that instead. When I opened it, a Mocasin was inside. Didn't occur to me to keep it as a high dollar factory error. I don't know if it was a repack or not. I can't see why, they were the same price and everything was sealed in plastic on the inside. |
