It's that "Oh well" mentality that breaks down the system and make it easier for folks to commit crimes. Folks should be PISSED OFF over things like this. I don't care how small a crime it may seem to you. It's still a crime and should have some pretty strict consequences. Folks used to get downright angry about any and all crimes in this country. Now we hear about a robbery on the news and don't even so much as blink. I agree that the skinning and raping thing is a bit over the top but I don't think he truly REALLY meant those specific forms of punishment. He's just mad and that was a way of expressing his anger. He was "colorfully" venting his frustrations. But he is right that these jerks need to be punished. And not just a slap on the wrist or a few nights in the pokey. It needs to make an impression so strong that the next time they think about committing a crime, even as "little" as stealing Joes, they will be forced to think twice about it. Think about it this way, theft is the main reason things cost so much these days. We, the law-abiding citizens, are paying for what other people have or will have stolen. We're essentially "picking up their tab". If all those jackasses didn't steal anything, imagine how much cheaper everything would be!
And so what if I said they have no soul or conscience? I originally posted that souls comment as a half-joke but you brought in conscience and I think that ties in here too. If you're knowingly doing evil/committing a crime (and YES, they know damn well it's wrong) and still do it without any qualms, then you've gotten so used to not listening to your conscience that it's probably almost non-existent. I'd say their souls are either dead at that point or getting there. I don't know what more the stores can do to combat this other that instigate a "no returns on toys policy". I'm sure that would go over well with the customers. Oh and for the record, my "conscience" comment was in reference to the punishment for this form of crime. I said the crime is not one that so shocks the conscience that it would warrant the kind of punishment proposed by the OP. I believe this and apparently so does our judicial system since the penalty for this type of crime is a short stay in the county jail. |

Whe I was a kid, one year my mom wanted to get me Flint. She couldn't find him anywhere, and when she finally did find one, his gun had been removed from the pacakge. She bought it for me anyone, so I always had a gunless Flint. I appreciated him, but it was crappy that someone took that gun out.

seeing how it took me 3 days to get mine out of the package, I don't understand why this #$%^@&* went through the trouble! Also, if you are too cheap to buy the entire thing, don't collect joes! Buy shortfuse on EBAY, instead of deflowering a complete ultimate battle pack. Yesterday I saw 2 complete cobra 5-packs ( the original with black baroness!) at TRU and I was tempted to buy them , swap out the black baroness for blue ones and return them but I would never do that becasue I believe in Joe Karma! Its hard enough for all of us to find joe stuff without the added stress of people tampering with it!

Well.. After searching High and Low for a Cobra Fang & Claw, I finally found one at K-mart. Guess what as I got closer and picked it up I realized the CLAW was missing as well as the pilot.
I showed it to the store rep working the area but she just shrugged said it happens a lot and no she didn't think she had any more. So My sentiments exactly fellow Tanker. We should start an Anti-Repacker/Theif Special Missions Force. It's purpose to defend the world against Repackers & Scalpers a ruthless terrorist organization determined to ruin the toy collecting hobby.

Besides at my Target there are 10 UBP. These guys are not moving at all. I'm waiting for Clearence! I have thought about buying 2 just to get extra Short-fuse to trade for Doc, would that get any takers?

I was at WM and found a repacked comic pack. I took it to the service desk and told them about it. They didn't seem to care, in fact they thought i was the one who repacked it and was returning it A day or 2 later, it was back on the shelf...A few days later, my friend had the same thing happen to him when he saw something similar at a different WM. They looked at him like he did it and eventually put it back out on the shelf...So now when we see a repack, we just forget we saw it and walk on by...

My god I didnt think I would ever see it. I found it at Target and picked it up and began to love all over on it, then I realized what was up. The box looked slightly mangled (not that unusual for toys at Target) but Short-Fuze was missing completely and so was the turret gun from the mobat (a commonly broken or misplaced piece on vintage mobats)
WTF!!!!!! I swear to the gods that if any repackers read this, or if I ever catch you M*Fers in the act I will skin you motherF#$&er alive. You are lower than snail shit and deserve to be sodomized by big silverback gorrillas. burn in hell and die... If you cant afford the toys dont collect them. Dont buy shit, steal parts you need / want then return it. Im stepping off my soapbox now...
