Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

Not fraud, but I saw evidence of outright theft at my local Target. For fraud in general, I think the most common I've run into are the 3.75" Star Wars figures, someone is swapping out the newer...

Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

Found another one last week. At a different Walmart this time. Curious if it's the same guy, or if there's more than one person doing the same thing. For comparison sakes I took a picture of it with...

Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

Saw another a couple days ago at the same Walmart. Probably the same culprit. Looks absolutely nothing like the Rhino. They actually have a Rhino hanging on the pegs too...

Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

I wonder if, it's an insider job where an employee is doing it. Or maybe the returner is playing the ignorance card. Claiming to have bought the figure by mistake and realized that it wasn't the...

Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

It's been a while, but I found this the other day at my local Walmart. A Joe figure with an X-Wing pilot helmet posing as a Mysterio. You would think the colors alone would be a give away that this...

Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

Haha, wow, I'm surprised they kept the new Mjolnir in there. The MS one is crappy compared to the ML one.

Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

That doesn't really make sense, since I imagine they'd be worth less loose. All that trouble just to get, maybe, $5? I'd go with the former, where they're swapping for their own collection. At...

Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

Really? Wow, that's bad. But I'm sure WM also has a similar policy of no returns on opened movie, CD, game, and software.

Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

Clone Wars stuff at a Toys "R" Us. This is kinda of surprising, I thought they were more strict about opened product. You'd think the employees would at least check the back of the packaging to see...

Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

It's Star Wars again, this time at different Wal-Mart (but not too far from the usual spot). I wonder if this is the same guy that doing this. The clean repacking is certainly his modus operandi.

Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

Spotted this today, I think this was at the same WM as my last post. Certainly looks like the handy work of the previous culprit. Hopefully you can make out the taping job they did on the second...

Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

This was at Walmart. They opened it from the left side, there was tear on the cardboard, resealed using tape. You can kinda see tear on the Vader card. It was actually a pretty clean repack if the...

Re: Action Figure Fraud: Is this a problem at your local stores???

Wow, didn't to expect to see this happen in Calgary. But it looks like someone swapped out Vintage Dack, Vader, and Luke with (I believe) Power of the Force Biggs, Vader, and Speeder Bike Luke. The...
