I thought that since I didn't have a ton of knowledge about Joes (I'm mostly a Transformers guy), that it would be safe buying from them. All I wanted to do was to buy a figure (Snake Eyes - specifically version 2) that I always wanted as a kid but never got. I guess I still have never got that Snake Eyes figure yet...
Not to play devil's advocate, but it would be an easy thing for a non-Joe expert to miss, especially someone like a toy/comic shop employee that may have little interest in GIJoe outside of acquiring and moving inventory. Hell, I could see that being something I'd miss myself, even with 20 years of in-depth collecting under my belt- as you yourself did when you bought it.
Yes, it sucks, but understand that the culpability is shared at least somewhat. I'd recommend trying to return it politely, and being prepared to have to grab a waist on eBay if that doesn't work out.
Caveat emptor, and all of that rot.
