Man, I am getting seriously angry during my store visits to track down Elite 4. Almost every store I've gone to has had at least a few of the figures stolen and something else repacked in its place.
I've seen 2 Jerichos replaced with Ruthless Aggression 40 Jerichos.
I've seen Kane replaced by some custom-made hodgepodge that was mostly a Toy Biz WCW Bill Goldberg. Another Kane simply had his accessories stolen.
I still haven't found an intact John Morisson. The first one I found had the coat stolen, and the second one was a repacked Edge.
I've had a couple more encounters like this, but I've forgotten the specifics.
I've managed to find the rest of the figures except for JoMo, but man, this is ticking me off and making it really hard for honest people to buy these things. I wanna get these things off the shelves and smack customer service around until they pay attention to what they're taking back! Does Mattel need packaging that's not so easy to open and reseal? Yeah, I think so.
Is this happening to everybody or is it just around me?

I have seen it a few times but nothing major. I mean it will always happen no matter what figures or line it is.

Tell the stores that people are returning false products.

bummer about the JoMo, it's a great fig. if i'd have known he was gonna be this hard to track down, i wouldn't have returned my extra one walmart stupidly gave me.

I think I need to talk to a manager so they realize it's an issue they should pay attention to if they don't wanna be losing money.

Yeah, I totally regret not ordering one off Toys R Us when they had them last week. I thought the 2-pack version was pretty bad, so I'd been waiting to see this one in person before deciding if I should get it or not. Unfortunately for me that hasn't worked out so well yet!

My advice just order from Ringside, Its gonna cost a little more but it sounds like ur wasting alot of gas trying to find those figs only to be let down.

This kinda crap is messed up. I've only seen it maybe once or twice, but still it's definitely wrong.
