Always check before you buy. That goes for anything.

And I think we will see even more in the future. Hasbro explicitly stated this is retail's problem, not theirs. And Wal-Mart at least does not give a damn. Really, if you're a loose collector, you could get all your toys for free if you wanted to. Apparently Wal-Mart's even taking obviously glued-back-together single cards now.
I wonder if one day I'll walk into a store and see NOTHING but repacked garbage on the pegs and shelves. |

It seems Wal-Mart is enabling, and even encouraging this type of behaviour with their passivity in response to the practice, though. I wonder how long it'll be before they start seeing a backlash from honest consumers getting burned by the repacks. |

I second that. I have yet to see it myself. I believe this to be a regional phenomenon. Where are the majority of these re-packs happening? I think it would be more appropriate to start individual states re-pack threads or limit re-pack chatter to the "sightings" threads instead of jamming the boards with these incessant rant filled threads. Let people "discuss" this within their own areas instead of spreading this propaganda and nurturing this fear mongering amongst all our board members. Again, I, for one, have not seen this in my area. Frankly, I'm getting sick of hearing about it. If this is such a problem where you are, organize, get together and do something about it. But keep it where it is. Don't work everyone up into a frenzy for nothing..

man there is no hope these ppl will always get away with it as long as the stores let it happen. now some ie this case you cant tell unless you know what your buying. some ppl wast so much time on this to be perfect at it.to rip off us and the store. we have to double check everything we buy from now on. all there is to it.

I did opened it, like I said the tape on the side didn't seem it was tampered before. I hope it wasnt a factory error of including the regular viper. There were 2 more like it at the store.

Repacking is a major problem by me. I have a lot of scalpers around as well. Sucks, big time.
