Whether you have the receipt or not, some states have consumer laws that protect you for a period of time especially if it is obvious that the product came from the store. As well, most large chains have a "policy" for returns but still take back items that are well outside of that period. If you explain it to the ToysRUs person the way you just explained it to us, I am positive they will honor that for you.
Repacking is such a scumbag move and your son did a great job to earn this. I hope he is not discouraged by this. Parenting has enough obstacles. Stay strong!

My 5 year old son finally earned his Battle Below Zero. We have had it sitting around for a few months. We opened it up and we find an old, beat up Wolf from 1987. It was not complete, dirty, yellowed, no stickers for either vehicle, and very disappointing for my son. He worked hard to get this and some SCUMBAG took his reward from him. Someone must have purchased this, took out the new one and replaced it with his old one, and then returned it.
I am posting this here because I bet 100% chance that this person IS A MEMBER OF this forum. I want this person to know that they stole a toy from a 5 year boy and not an adult collector who never opens the box. I bought this toy from the Castleton Toys R Us in Indianapolis. I am going to try and return it today, but I don't have the receipt any longer. Fixed* That's messed up! The thing that kills me the most about re packers,and whining about costs is these are unnecessary items!! We don't need this stuff to survive,we don't need to have any of it! I can understand complaining about food or gas prices,and as a kid I stole food to eat,so I can understand resorting to extreme measures to survive,but not to have something for the sake of having it..

I was wondering why you bought it, if it was going to be months until you gave it to him? These things aren't really rare.

I buy a few things and we put it on a shelf in the basement. The kids can then pick out what they want to earn and for what. My kids will work pretty hard for a pack of 1990 football cards. I am still staring at a 25th Heroes Flint for learning to ride a bike.

This is hysterical! This is funny in the way Family Guy is funny. You know where they show you something so over the top that you can't help but laugh because of the obsurdity of it. My mind can't wrap my head around the fact that a kid actually had a toy waiting for him forever only to find out that he picked the only one in all of America that some ass pirate did this to! I would just buy him another one and get him something extra to make up for it! So sorry this happened!

Sucks to hear about the scenario, but sadly, there are more than enough assholes in our hobby that ruin it for everyone else. |

This was a dick move by an obvious douche bag. If you can't find another one, let me know. I'll score one locally and send it to you.

Just in case CG can't find you one, they're also still available on at TRU's website.

Speaking as someone who's frequented that TRU for practically his entire life, as a toy collector, and as a Hoosier, I am saddened by this. Sorry that your kid got screwed over by some jerk.
Here's hoping that you can get him a proper BBZ set in the near-future, and thank you for pointing this out. |
