Why call the manager?? All they had to do is look on the back of the box and you'll see all the pictured figures that's included in the package. Not all managers going to know who's in what packages. It's good that they enforce this policy but again, just look on the back before giving refunds to returnees. It's really that simple.

I think the more of us that report this, the more managers are taking notice and talking with each other about it. The only person this hurts is the person who didn't know or didn't pay attention, and buys a repack and tries to return it. But, if repackers can be stopped, maybe that won't be a problem.

This is good news if it's companywide. The only repack I've seen so far is a UBP.

And you can thank an East Tennessean for pointing out the REALLY obvious. *PRODUCT & COLORS MAY VARY* So no, you can't simply match up the back of the box to the toys in the box, especially if you don't know anything about GI JOE & the item. Somebody could swap the gray Cobra Gunner with a regular blue Cobra Trooper & there's no way for somebody that's not familiar with the product to know for sure. It could simply be a variant or a chase, how are they supposed to know for sure? On that same note, you could take back a blue Wraith chase variant & the manager could refuse because the figure doesn't match the artwork on the front of the package.

Do you REALLY think someone who's doing returns all day is really going to bother looking to see what should be in the case? They make min wage or not much more! They look to see the condition of the box, and it looks like everything is there. They could put a cabbage patch kid in place of snake eyes and as long as the spaces are full it's a done deal in time for break.
You GOTS to bring it a to manager's attention otherwise, nothing will get done, the crap sets will sit on the shelf and be flagged for constant returns and never get restocked. Or at worse, the items will have to be clearanced and that could effect a store getting ANYTHING from that particular line.

Yeah, I agree that it only takes a few seconds to either look at the packaging or worst case run to the toy aisle to get another one for comparision. I also agree that most these people working there are making min wage and could care less one wary or the other. Or it's a second job so they really don't care.

I don't understand why a lot of you return stuff anyway. Do you buy stuff hoping to sell it for higher, and when you don't, you return it? Buy what you want and be done with it.

I was at Target tonight returning the UBP. The associate told me that the product had been flagged and needed a manager to check it. My first thought was that they were going to give me some crap about the price difference since it's clearance. Manager comes up and ask what the problem was and the associate said that it needed to be checked because people were replacing the figures.
The manager was cool about it and said that it was fine since he had bought one for his grandson. We talked a little about how some peopl were doing that, but he didn't mention if it was going on in that store. Now I don't go to that Target often, but I have never seen a repack on the shelf in that store. I hope they continue to do that because that would definitely discourage the "repackers," buy it does take time if an associate has to go over to the toy section to verify the contents. finally a store that cares to check before accepting a return. wish this guy worked for the walmart by me. shelves are constantly packed with repacks. i spotted a joe 5 pack all repacked with CORPS figures. the best is that the figures didn't even fit in the box yet they took it back and replaced it on the shelf. WTF
