found my first "switcharoo"

looking through the star wars crap and came upon this. LOL pretty horrible even for a "switcharoo" standards. The box was mangled in the back and taped back together making it extremely obvious. Whoever excepted this item back was mental.

That sucks! I still have only found one Joe switcharoo....They took the Fred CG and replaced it wit ha regular one.

i was the victom of a firefly/ stormshadow comic pack switch. the monster put an old firefly in, took all the gear for the new one, swiped most of stormshadow's, and even when so far as to replace his dusty stormshdow stand with the new one. there should be a special place in hell for people that do this sort of thing

I just posted about this happening in the St. Louis Metro area in the Illinois sightings thread. It's despicable. It's hard to blame the stores, though, since they aren't exactly toy enthusiasts that are accepting them back. The only hope you have is by telling the store manager about the problem and that they need to keep an eye out for it. Honestly, though, they are probably more worried about shoplifting that a $10 repack.

Wow...Tigpoppa's long arm even stretches to the WalMarts on Cobra Island. At least he put an Obi-Wan back in.

Not mental...Just don't know and/or don't care..
I've been fortunate not to see this in my area so far..but it's only a matter of time I think before I do.

Haven't seen one in the wild myself, but some of these are pretty funny looking.

How about Firefly vs. the Breakers? Someone replaced the 4 greenshirts with Breakers!

Wow dude, I would love to actually see one of these switch-a-roos in person.

Well with the unneccesary price hikes im not surprised to hear and see these. I bet we see more in the coming months.
