THIS IS TO WHOEVER IS MAKING CUSTOMS IN THE ALBANY NY AREA
Went into the Walmart near my house yesterday... 4 of the comic packs w/ Storm Shadow and Firefly were tampered with...all the S.S. had badly painted RED legs, with no webgear at all! in one , the F.F. was replaced with damaged Snake Eyes..the rest, HIS gear was stolen.The packages taped back up carefully. Went to Kmart 1 minute away from there; SAME THING! S.S. all had red legs and these ones even had the comic switched out! instead of Firefly though, they replaced both with a mix of Torpedos upper body and Zartans legs! sad thing is, they were in the computer wrong and were sold at 5.99, yet someone STILL had to mess them up and return them for their 6 bucks back! I told the lady at customer service and she was amazed! I told her that they wouldnt end up selling , so they might want to be careful in the future with returns! Hey, if they sit on the shelves, they wont order more! AQlso earlier, I saw a Legions 5 pack at a different Kmart; S.S. was replaced with V vs V version, C.C. was replaced with some unknown fig, and the air troopers gear and helmet were stolen! oh and the Stinger drivers KNEECAPS were replaced! whats up with these people?!? |

we we know it isn't any tankers here. We are starting a pretty good network of trading parts so there isn't any need for that. But yeah we have seen many reports of people replacing figures and returning them.

At a wal-mart near me someone switched a single card duke for a VvV duke, very scummy. and at a Tru someone just stole the figures from the officers pack (gijoe version) and left the packaging hidden in the hot wheel section. very bad people out there.

Its one thing that they did it...another that they did it to EVERY S.S. / Firefly pack in Glenmont! Its obviously the same person, and they are obviously making a Devils Due stormy (hence the webgear) and they are probably using the legs to make a true 2nd series S.S. (when he went good). Ive already got the figures so it didnt get me too mad, but NO ONE is going to buy these miss matches, and if they dont sell, the 2 stores wont get any more figures....

Ha I went into a Walmart in Arkansas yesterday & saw the original Battle Armor Cobra Commander (the one from 1987) on the shelf in a 25th Battle Armor Cobra Commander package. Somebody had taken the time to purchase the new Battle Armor CC, take it home, open it very carefully, take the figure & accerssories out, replace them with the figure & accessories from 1987, glue the bubble back on the card & then take it back to Walmart & exchange it... Just to get their 7 bucks back!!!!!
I would have bought it. Oldskool awesomeness. |

Wow, I thought this was rare. I was at a Kmart a few weeks back and saw a wave 7 Snake Eyes with a VvV Snake Eyes fig inside with absolutely no accessories, or even the plastic bottom the figs are seated in. It was also badly taped back up. I didn't get pissed seeing it until I read this thread. Totally BS man!!
