I was like, "This is o-ring construction from 10 years ago," and he said, "I see what you're saying. I know that new stuff, I bought that new Snake-Eyes awhile back,"

Well, it looks like I got hit by the kissing cousin of the repacker, the part/accessory sneak-thief. I bought my son a 50th Danger at the Docks Vamp only to open it & find that either the roof and doors were left out at the factory or they were stolen. There are definite signs of tampering, so I lean in the direction of theft. This has happened before here in Salt Lake (missing parts, etc from G.I.Joe toys)...so, to whoever the cheap bastard is doing this, I hope all your toys get stolen and you suffer a horrendous case of crotch rot.
I gave him the missing parts off of my own 50th Vamp, cuz I'm awesome like that, but now I have to find replacements for mine. |

One of the TRUs (of course), but I can't remember which one as I bought it earlier this year and was saving it as a reward for when my son finished this year's school term.
Regardless, missing stuff has occurred at every store. I've encountered this since the 2000 ARAHC releases beginning with a Locust that was missing decals and other bits. There have been other examples since then, but I can't remember the details. With just the 50th stuff, off the top of my head, I've seen a DATD Flint missing his webgear at the Sugarhouse store, at least a couple of Hawks missing pieces (gun belt, I think) and Cobra Troopers sans webgear at all stores. IIRC, Naptime found a Retaliation Tomahawk that was missing stuff at the Layton store. Actually, just a month or so ago, I found a 50th 3-pack at either the Murray or WVC store (the Cobra Trooper one, I think) that someone had slit the plastic "window" and stolen a few of the weapons, but left everything else. It's not just G.I. Joe either as I've encountered MU/Infinite Series figs missing heads or other parts. I noticed an Avengers: Ultron Black Widow/Cap at the Sugarhouse store that was really weird too. BW was missing its gunbelt and the neck/chest area either hadn't been painted or someone painted it in black...like I said, weird. Anyway, sometimes it's hard to tell whether it's a factory error or a theft, but there's definitely a track record here of things missing. |

I have a feeling the LJ legs will be very useful for future customs. Plus, you get a crap load of weapons. I hope the SDCC Grunt and Steeler have a similar color to those legs so we can put LJ's legs on them. The Steeler legs are missing ankle articulation, to I'd prefer to change them out.

Yeah, whoever is doing this is devious. You have to look closely at the tape on the package because sometimes you can see where the tape was peeled back and then re-applied. That in itself makes me think it's mostly one turd doing this particular form of theft. For well over a DECADE now! Think about that for a minute. Goofy shit.

Repacking, what? Why bother? Why not just steal the stuff?
