I saw this picture where someone repacked the original joes 5 pack. It had a v1 snake eyes, what looked like v1 scarlett, v1 roadblock, v1 duke and a different figure instead of gung-ho. All posed to make it look like the original packing. What's weird though, wouldn't
the older figures be worth more?

Y'know, it occurs to me that Hasbro needs to take some responsibility for this.
You see, we are G.I. Joe geeks. We know who that characters are and what they should look like; and we know (at the very least) when a figure isn't part of the line. But most people aren't. Now, a large portion of the problem is indeed that store staff don't care. But there's is nothing on the packaging showing the actual toy. There are painings, of course, on the front. But those are very partial pictures, and not necessarily reliable for figuring out the contents. If the packaging included, as most toy lines do, photographs of the toys that are supposed to be inside - we'd see at least some of this bollocks stopped. In any event, I hope the OP brought this to management's attention. They can't fix it if they don't know it's happening.

You make a very excellent point there, Vagabond. The SW figures always have pictures of the actual figure on the packaging. I think Hasbro should start doing this for the Joes since the figure swapping is becoming out of hand. Almost every time I go to the Joe section I see at least one tampered figure/figures that has been swapped. Yeah, the nostalgic people would have a cow since it won't look the same on the back, but it would save most of us the heartache and save retailers some money since they are being ripped off as well when this happens.

I'm torn between my hatred for thieves and my desire to stick it to 'the man'! The solution to the problem isn't with Hasbro - it's with society in general. As long as there are poor and antisocial people out there they'll find ways to get what they need and want. The person taking the return doesn't get paid enough and probably gets little to no benefits. Can you really take a job seriously when you have little to no incentive to work? Damned shrinking middle-class!
I definately have to agree with TENIME_art in one aspect and that is I seriously think that they screen for people that don't know TOO much about what they're selling. I think a lot of times companies try to keep enthusiasts out because they're worried about theft and such as well. I think they also try to hire people that show little intelligence a lot of times because they feel they think they can manipulate them. |

What retailers really should do is keep a log of:
The name of the person making a return The Item/SKU/UPC returned Then at least you can see if "John Q. Consumer" has returned X amount of G.I.Joe Item # ________ in the last month. But unfortunately, this process leads one to the valid points already laid out on the table: When "Fisher Price - My First Job" Employee receives the return, he/she/it couldn't give two poops if it's a repack or not, they just want to scan it in and get you whatever is coming you way so you can get out of their face and they can go back to writing emo poems about how hard life sucks working for $5.45/hr. |
