okay, today during my lunch break I went to a nearby WalMart and found the MANTIS ATTACK CRAFT that I needed. Looking around at everything else they had I was almost excited to see the SNARLER available...almost.
Upon further inspection (i.e. turning it over and around) I found that not only was it missing BOTH figures, but that the plastic had been HACKED OPEN! No stealth manuever here, there were 2 huge gashes in the plastic. Then I went over to clearance to see what they had in terms of Joe-goodness (already the term "goodness" is tainted) and from a distance I see the Shockblast/Night Creeper 2-pack, hoping that it would be a sign of the others as well since I still need the other 2 sets. I couldn't immediately identify the repack in place of Shockblast, but it looked like the blonde green shirt from the FIREFLY vs G.I. JOE TROOPERS TRU exclusive. All of Shockblast's accessories were still there, just not him. the one directly behind it, while I can appreciate the skill some repackers put into their work...REPACK IT WITH SOME DAMN FIGURES AT LEAST! I found, sans figures, the MONKEYWRENCH/TUNNEL RAT 2 pack. all the accessories were left behind, but no figures and it looked ALMOST factory sealed. While I'm on the subject of WalMart, has anyone else been shorted on the NINJA BATTLES and the SURVEILLANCE PORT sets? I got these a few weeks back and my NINJA set was missing the sword stand and the 2 discs, and the PORT was missing everything that goes with TELE-VIPER (web gear and computer) and the decals for the PORT itself. Now yes they could be repacks, but the plastic shells for the NINJA set had nowhere for the missing pieces and the PORT was one of 3, so it could be short-packs from Hasbro. Sorry, just ticked. Going to sit here at my desk and open my MANTIS now. Carry on. |

I've see crazy messed up packages at Walmart all the time. Stuff that looks like it got run over by a truck or has a piece missing and taped back or stapled up then put back on the shelf for sale. The most bizarre thing I've ever seen (besides the inbred mutants that work there) is customers literally opening food in the aisle and eating it as the shop. I'm not talking a bag of chips or something...I'm talking a gallon of milk and taking a swig off it while the shop.

Dude my Wal-Mart is always like that. Maybe once or twice I lucked out and found like a few 25th figures in good shape...other than that its just straight garbage.
Place is a mess, especially the toy aisles and theres just crap everywhere. It blows. |

My PIT was missing cross-eyed Hawk and the entire bag of stuff that came with him. Now I get to mail my ENTIRE mostly assembled PIT to Hasbro for a replacement.

Our Walmart here in Pratt is F'ed aswell. I was in on Saturday and say a dolly full of opened boxes of the new Iron-Man toys sitting at the end of an isle while the stock-boys milled arround the cellphond kiosk and chatted. We went back hours later and the dolly was gone, but no figures were put out. Heck they still havent been put out ad it's been almost a week.

I see this type of crap I pull it from the shelf and it goes right to Claims. Did it last night with a repack Han Solo with Stormtrooper armor. Somebody stole the helmet and droid piece and stuck it the figure in a Han in Bespin tray with the Saga Lgends weapons crate.
