I feel a person got to be pretty pathetic to re-pack such cheap items.

I think that is when it's the most disheartening. Some of the people here in Hisstank are probably guilty of it. I find that most of the repackers here where i live seem to be customizers. Customizing can get expensive with materials and tools, i get that, but it is a hobby, not a neccessity to life. If you can't afford it, you are probably not managing to make ends meet elsewhere in your life. Get your damn head on straight and take care of your life before you worry about plastic army men. It's this mentality that makes me embarrased to be in communities like this. Unfortuantely these types of desperate folks are the most vocal and most "representative" of those of us that collect. So many sacrifice living for plastic. Such a waste.

seeing all these repacks makes me realize why i can not get a part time job at target or walmart. im just not dumb enough to work there. Anyone else have a bunch a dumbasses working at their local walmart? i have 4 in my neck of the woods, and everyone of them is full of dumbasses. when i lived in naples, there was 2 i went to there, once again a bunch of dumbasses. im sorry if i offended anyone that may work there, but damn, it seems like you have to be damn near retarded to work there.

I spotted a Snow Serpent at Wal-Mart with the figure removed and a Corps figure in its place. That's the first time I've ever seen this sort of behavior.

Even if you don't understand why it is stealing, what about the collector who comes to the store next?
Either he buys the item before noticing, or he notices and doesn't buy it, and since the store computer shows a unit on the the shelves, another is not ordered to replace it? A WM manager told me they send them back to Hasbro and get a credit. Which means Hasbro is footing the bill, which means that has some affect - however small - on the prices honest collectors pay for the merchandise. It's probably negligible on a figure here or there, but when you include UBPs, PP planes switched out to get the PP Vipers, etc, it must add up.

ive only seen one instance of a single carded repack; a Paraviper with the goggles removed and the package STAPLED back together...(Actually, it was PROBABLY stolen in-store, and the store probably stapled it.) usually I see 2packs and vehicles tampered with...
