So I was do a little toy hunting yesterday and of course nobody had anything new except when I got to a Walmart in Ocala Florida. (about 1 hour north of Orlando)
I found some of the new Thor figures at a Walmart the two days before and I noticed at this Walmart that they had the new 30th Joe line with Stalker and the rest but just as my excitment peaked it was crushed by the oldest dirtball trashy scam of toy collecting. Some P.O.S. bought the new 30th line and then took out the new figs and put in some old spytroops Joes, retaped the package and returned the stolen joes. A total of 4 figures where done like this. I saw this same thing about a year ago in a Target. So I saw one of the managers and I SNITCHED to him and showed him the problem. He was shocked and told me that they prosecute people who do this type of thing for fraud and theft. He told me they will check for Credit card numbers used and camera footage to arrest whomever did this. I love snitching and I wish more people would do it. Its called justice. So if you are the A-hole who did this crime in Ocala Fl and you're on the HissTank get ready to shell out a lot of money to the courts and I hope you enjoy your night in jail.

He'll just claim he got them that way, which is why he returned it. I think this totally sucks but the stores don't do enough to stop this. They should at least have his name and picture posted in the customer service area so a manager has to deal with his refunds or something like that at least.

I'd like to think the manager is actually doing something about it, but time after time nothing is ever done. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up back on the pegs. I hope I am proven wrong.

Ha! Follow=up would be great in this situation...but in my area, there is a POS who does this constantly, in both Wally and Target. In all situiations I have given the product to the managers, who said they would deal with the problem, just to find it was put back on the shelves. I feel bad for poor little "Jimmy" whose parents end up buying the FrankenJoe for him...

that guy is a hero! Someone is getting a vintage classic collector's piece, something unique!
The Target should be awarding him!

But the stores have to coordinate with each other and share the info. That's the hardest part.

maybe it's a running change?
you know celebrating 30 years by randomly packing in a figure from yester-year? and maybe the package really wasn't re-taped...but rather it's variant packaging celebrating the "grunge/torn" look that's popular with the youth these days? if you find another one on the peg again...you'll have your answer, because there's no way that a manager would just re-shelf the same item...apathy doesn't exist in today's retail environment...but who cares if it does? |

They will just put it back on the shelf, I see this all the time at various locations, TRU, Target, even at a Marshall's you talk about bottom feeding scum lol...I tried once to turn in some figures I found on the shelf, like 8 of em, star wars ones with ancinet cruddy looking figures kitbashed too look like the figures they took and they all asked me "how do you know these are not the right figures?" like trying to accusing me of doing it or something.!..when I cam back to the store the next time they were sitll there...so they just put them back on the shelf and I quit worrying with it at that point...not worth bringing it up with these morons, especially at Walmart.
