I have seen this a few times before. Oddly enough only at Zellers. (so far) Once, I came across the Zellers exclusive Wedge with X-Wing and somone had replaced Wedge and his droid with a Saga Legends Luke X-wing pilot and Saga Legends R2-D2. Strange thing was a friend of mine actually bought that exact set for his son, he didn't have a clue until I told him the figures were the wrong ones.

I've heard tell the tales, but I don't think I've ever actually seen a repack in the wild.

It is starting to get ridiculous at my local WM. Today I found this in the Transformers section:

So basically someone replaced the new Transformers Generations deluxe Cybertronian Bumblebee with a ROTF deluxe Mudflap. Notice the Mudflap does not even fit in the bubble shell properly.

Man I hate people sometimes.

"They're the worst."

I can't believe that people actually pull this type of crap.

It's been years since I've seen this happen in stores, but it's been going on for years.

I've seen it, but in very limited numbers over the years. Maybe one or two times. It seems to be happening more in the GTA.

I think I've said this before... but report it, ask to speak to the manager if you see happen a second time, and they should have security camera footage of the person making the return. I know my local Zellers has a camera placed in their customer service section just for these kinds of "swaps". They can look at the footage and at least get an idea of what this person looks like for the next time and hopefully nail them for fraud.

A few months back there was the package, but no figure!! Someone opened it and took off the figure! How did they have time to do that?
