I had yet another depressing Walmart experience today. After reading a very positive review of the Tomax & Xamot comic pack I decided to go down to my local Walmart and pick one up. I noticed on prior visits that they still had multiple packs on the pegs. Unfortunately, I had the same exact experience as when I went to pick up the Firefly & Storm Shadow comic pack. All three Tomax & Xamot packs, just like the Firefly and Storm Shadow packs, had been opened and pilfered for the Doc points. Since I will open them and give them to my son anyway I don't care about the points, but the scumbag that pilfered them doesn't even put the filecards back in the pack. I know the a#*hole thinks he's just stickin' it to Walmart (and The Man), but I wish he knew that he's actually stickin' it to my kid. Bullsh#*t man. I can't afford to pay $20.00 shipped for each of these online.

That sucks! I don't care to "give it" to the "man"....pay up and shut up!.....They need to catch these DOC point pilfererers.
If I do catch you and you are on this Forum......

Sorry for the bad luck. We should have a forum on the tank just for folks who got ripped-off. Of all the figure swaps and scams this is the first time I've heard of one of these scumbags taking the filecards.
I'd like to meet just one of jerks and have a man-to-man chat on behalf of Joe collectors everywhere. If I ever do I hope some of you guys will send me joes in jail. |

Unfortunate that today when you go to buy a figure that you need to examine it first to make sure that it's the right figure. I have always been picky about paint apps so I'm the dork in the aisle going over each figure on the peg to make sure I get the best available to me. Now I'm the guy going thru each one to make sure that paints apps are good on the figure that's supposed to be in the package.
There really is no way around this. Have a mail away and folks will buy up the figures just for the redemption stickers (or whatever) and return the figures. Take the enormous battle pack coming down the pike with Short Fuze. How much do you want to bet there will be a ton of those out there with all of the figures in it EXCEPT Short Fuze who will most likely be replaced with a RAM bike Breaker? It's tough enough being a collector of a popular line without having to deal with the scammers who pale out an already dry well.

I thought about how much of a scumbag I could be if I took the points when I bought my first comic pack, but instead, I emailed hasbro and said "look, some scumbag stole my doc points. make these things less pilferable." They told me to send them the stuff and they'd replace it. The docline has passed, and they sent nothing. Now while claiming I was pilfered makes me a scumbag, hasbro claiming they'd replace them when they didn't makes them scumbags too.

I have an extra set of their filecards. if you wanna buy the set at your Wal Mart, PM me and I'll send the filecards to you.
they probably stole them a while ago, and the set simply hasn't sold since, probably because you can tell they had been opened. |
