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

I'm a little embarrassed to post this. I bought ML Thor from Markville Toys R Us a few weeks ago. Never opened him. I was on the fence whether to keep him or not (I already have ML3 Thor). Luckily I checked a few YouTube reviews before I was going to open Thor. I noticed his left had was a fist instead of being opened. I also noticed more details (wrinkles) on his costume. When I viewed a video showing the ML compared to the Select Thor, I knew I was duped!
I bought a Marvel Select Thor in ML packaging! After re-examining the back of the card, the taping now looks a little sloppy and the bottom must have been re-glued.
I just returned him today back to the same TRU.
There was on the peg a ML red IM, but the card was ripped opened, but the BAF piece was still inside???

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

So should we expect to see more of these as people upgrade their Modern Thor with ML for MS?

"I'm not sure where to post this but here's something funny.

I went to a local walmart today to look the ML Thor and I finally found him. I was pretty excited until upon closer inspection I notice that Thor had some extra detail from what I remember in online photos. The packaging was a little weird too. Someone decided to buy ML Thor and return it with MS Thor resealed back in the package. So what I'm really trying to say is that I'm still looking for ML Thor. "

Found this today on Fwoosh from person from California.
