Hey guys. Just thought I would share this. I know that everybody knows that people are buying the Comic Packs and stealing the Doc mailaway forms and then returning them to unsuspecting stores.
Well, I live in a small town. We only have one Walmart and one Kmart....the only place to buy joes here. I usually visit these stores every few days to see if there are any new figures in. I noticed something disturbing at Kmart the other day.....6/10 comic packs that have been hanging there for months (wave 1 &2) all had been retaped with packaging tape on the back of the comic pack. I then went to Walmart to check the cps there, 13/19 hanging there (wave 1 & 2) had been retaped as well with the packaging tape...both sides just like at Kmart. I alerted the employess at Kmart and Walmart. The ones from Kmart have been removed and the ones at Walmart are still hanging there. Crazy this stuff happens everywhere....even in "Small Town USA" :( |

The crazy part is that I have a theory on who it might be.....one night I was at Walmart and to my surprise this older, dishelved looking guy in line in front of me had 6 wave one cps to buy. (I thought at the time he was a scalper...he kinda fit the profile)
I thought it was weird at the time becuase.... 1. Ive never seen anybody ever buy GIJOE here 2. He was buying two of each of wave 1 which at the time was and still is very plentiful. He passed up on Wave 2 that was there as well (harder to find) Soooooo, he bought them and in doing so cleaned out 1/3 of the rack of wave 1 comic packs. A few days later, they are all back and like I said before....now 13/19 are taped up with packaging tape. Just a theory. |

I heard about this on another thread.
I think it is depressing. The other day I saw some kids poking around the figure 2-packs, & I am pretty sure they were stealing the stickers. check out this thread: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5762 Please read from the beggining. You need to keep the Scalper talk going.

Wow it's like scalper profiling somebody get me CSI...just kidding. But seriously, I got jacked for my Doc stickers out of my Wave 2 packs so I have no Filecards or Doc stickers from Breaker/Destro, and the Dreadnok pack. Anybody got extras? I have very few options at this point. At least I got the figures. Whoever is stealing these: YOU SUCK!
