The Toys R Us near my hometown isn't like that at all. They always check the store computer all the time for items I ask about. As a matter of fact, they went to the back and got me my Senior Ranking Officer wave 1 G.I. Joe three pack and Crimson Guard pack from a Hasbro case when they didn't have any out on the shelf! So, maybe it is only that TRU that doesn't do that because they do that at the one near my town all the time.

I remember in 2001 when we did the big remodels, we found some 12" Hall of Heroes and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves figures under some of the fixtures. They were no longer in the system and our Store Director sold them to another associate for $2.50 each! In my experience with TRU, they tend to schedule the same people in the same areas with little, to no cross-training. So the customer service person doesn't necessarily get too much training on the salesfloor as they have very limited access to it and the product it holds.

I have a strange re-packer in my town. He buys the toys, customizes them, then returns them. It's funny because I was really close to picking up what I believe to be a Hal Jordan Justice League Unlimited figure when upon close examination I saw the package was held together with staples. Lol. I still would've picked it up but I saw he used Sharpie marker for some of the finer detail work.

I took my son to the Dayton TRU today and while he was looking at wrestling figures I went over to the Joes. I'm checking out what they had when I came across this...(sorry for the crap pic...cell phone pic)
This repack had a version 10 Snake Eyes, with Zartan's cowl on (with a rip in it) and Cesspool's head seated next to him. This I guess was suppose to replace the actual SE. The other figure stolen out of it was Cobra Commander. He was replaced with a version 14 Viper holding a non Joe related cobra from some where. Duke and Storm Shadow were still there on at least the case for the DVD was there. So after seeing this I took that set and one the non repacked sets to a dept. head I explained to him what the problem was. He just blew it off by saying people steal figures all the time and that the store has to repack them. Again I explained that the two figures in question were a few years old and that the head was from the 90's. My own daughter (who was also with me) pointed out that the tape used to hold these two figures didn't even match. This guy didn't even take it just said that "the girls (and yes that's how he put it) doing the returns don't check what comes back" So this set it going to sit on the self until someone buys it at the $24.99 dollar price or if and when it gets discounted. I just love the fact that some jerk off did this and we as collectors get stuck paying full price. Thank you Toys R Us

So I call corporate about this Monday and was told I would have a reply within 24 hours. So today I called back to follow up and well TRU "lost" the complaint. So I had to resubmit it. What makes this even more interesting is my wife suggested contacting Hasbro and tell them about. After doing that I've come to the conclusion that Hasbro really doesn't care. The service rep stated that even though it's their product the stores can sell it however they want. Which was the reply I expected to hear. My suggestion be very careful when Joe shopping. Check and recheck your items before you purchase them. Because Hasbro doesn't care how their products end up.

What's kind of neat is that the Viper they put in the pack looks more like the CC boxart for that package than the actual CC that's supposed to come with it. And the Serpentor snake is awesome.
