I don't like Toys R Us.
I wish them the worst everynight before I hit the sack.

I used to bring these to the attention of dept managers but they never care and it ends up back on the shelf. Last time i told a lady manager that was walking by that somone had replaced every figure in this 5 pack and showd her the others telling her it would be a shame if someone bought this for there kid and dident now get what they payed for. She said "so what , what do you want me to do about it" . I said just take it off the shelf and walked away looking at other stuff. Looking out the corner of my eye i see her just put it back and go on with what she was doing. In all anytime you take one of the shelf and even walk it to cust service they will just walk it back to the shelf. They simply dont care at all and they think your a loser for even noticing.
I then had to ask her, what should a customer do if they found a repacked item? Her response, "Just forget about it." My finale question was, so you are telling me that Toys R Us doesn't care? Her finale response was, "Toys R Us does care but the majority of the staff don't. They just want to make it through their shift and go home. I don't blame them for that but I do wish they would put a little pride into their work, but how can you make them do that when we can't pay them what they are really worth." So I guess the simple answer is, the stores have policies against repacking but the minimum wage staff could care less about such policies. They can be told to care but they have no reason to. So when I see a repack I just leave it alone. It is sad that we have no other recourse than to just leave it alone. Just what i have learned

I was at a Saint Louis TRU a couple of weeks ago and while I was digging thru the movie packs (hoping to find a Best of) I found a new Cobra 5-pack stashed in the back. What caught my attention about it was a discounted price tag on it. So I opened the cover and what I saw completely shocked me. CC was still there. Zartan was still there. SS was still there, surprisingly. But what really surprised me was that the chrome plated Viper was still there and Baroness wasn't! That's right folks, somebody took the Baroness and left the chrome Viper, and the chrome was in good condition. I couldn't believe it. If I were a betting man, I would've put my money on the Viper being gone instead. Or both for that matter. But not just the Baroness. What impressed me though was that TRU discounted it before they put it back on the shelf.

I think one day I'll walk into a store and the Joe section will be nothing but repacks and pegwarmers. There'll even be single cards with reglued bubbles with Corps! action figures in them.
There are two repacks sitting on the shelves at one of our Wal-Marts. I took them up to customer service some time ago and they wound up back on the shelves. I won't trouble myself any more. |

Oh my god, I love Wicked. I went and saw the Show when it came to Cleveland and was mesmerized. That Musical needs to be made into a Movie.

OK, let me chime in here. I have a close friend who works at Toys R Us as a manager. So just to get her opinion I asked her about the policy of the store concerning repacks. She stated this "Most workers don't care, they are paid slightly over minimum wage and could care less about such foolishness. It is the stores policy to pull these items when and if they find them but hardly any one does. As far as any of the stores employees are concerned, the packages have 4 or five figures in them as listed on the boxes so why worry about it."
I then had to ask her, what should a customer do if they found a repacked item? Her response, "Just forget about it." My finale question was, so you are telling me that Toys R Us doesn't care? Her finale response was, "Toys R Us does care but the majority of the staff don't. They just want to make it through their shift and go home. I don't blame them for that but I do wish they would put a little pride into their work, but how can you make them do that when we can't pay them what they are really worth."

Repackers like him need to go down. I really don't like people doing that kind of stuff.
He knows what he is doing. And more than likely someone is going to get "took". Well, maybe he has a conquesis after all. He now has it listed as GI Joe 25th Mass Device instead of "RARE Variant etc, etc" I think maybe some of us folks helped him change his mind. |

A CESSPOOL head? That's just weird. The pack looks more fun than the real pack, though. And that snake looks like one of the dark brown versions of Serpentor's snake! Whoever did this must have some extra vintage stuff lying around.
I would actually buy a single pack Snake-eyes wearing Zartan's cowl with a Cesspool's head accessory. That's pretty rich! |
