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 it was $21.99 |

Could be a worse repack could have Star Wars figures in it.

Oh and you guys who think tru employees don't care, are maybe 50% right. At the end of the day there is bigger fish to fry, than to worry about a gi joe repack. You wouldnt believe the crap that happens in each store. Let's face it, it happens. Also, there is no policy, there is nothing in writing regarding repacks, it's just common sense to take them off the floor. Unfortunately that merchandise becomes damaged or defective. Most employees aren't aware of repacks, unless of course a collector brings it to their attention. In your cases, you probably just encountered careless employees. Although it's hard to believe those employees just shrugged their shoulders. Not all tru employees are the same. Trust me !

Found a cobra 5 pack in a WM in Tupelo, Ms. Everyone (including the chrome faced viper) was present except that Zartan was replaced with the JvsC Zartan. |

I don't take them to "Customer Service", I ask to speak with "Loss Prevention". And that usually works.
If it still bothers you, take a picture and contact corporate. Provide them with any names. While local employees do not care, corporate will come down hard. |

Dude that's the first repack I ever saw! I was in Maryland visiting my aunt, we went into DC and when I got back I checked out the TRU near the bed, bath, and beyond where she works. I can't believe it's still on the shelf! I saw that in February!
