There is a Walmart near me that has one Cobra 5pk left. All of the figures in it are the actual figures that belong to it, including Baroness and the Viper. The funny thing is, the package is beat to hell. I've seen the transition from shelf/minty fresh to homeless box full of figures.
It's from all the collectors out there, myself included, handling it and checking to see if the figures are actually still in there. It's been so worn out that the front flap has since fallen off, whereabout unknown.. LEast now all I have to do is look at the box to see it's contents instead of having to flip the flap up. Repackers/thieves have become so ingrained now that people are actually on the look out for their hijinks.

So far the biggest target for repackers around here seems to be Ross. I found a couple of the TRU Crimson Guard sets with all figures missing, but the boxes resealed. The most bizarre repack job I ever saw was a few years ago when Marvel Legends was the big thing. Someone had replaced a Galactus build a figure piece with a Matchbox car.

I purchased my first repack the other day.
I was at Meijers, and someone put a Cobra Trooper from the 1st MASS Device Set on a Python Officer card. Whoever did it was a friggin' artist, the package looked perfect, no tape or anything. There was no gun, but the Python Officer's dagger and base were there. I got it b/c it was only $5, and I could always use another blue shirt. |

Here are a few pics I've been meaning to get off my phone. These are from various places like TRU and Target.
