You're taking something someone might actually want to buy and replacing it with crap. You're screwing over the store and other collectors, all because of your selfish greed and lack of morals. Stay classy, my friend! |

Did you go through all the trouble to customize 'em too? That is what I find awesome about this, it's the little things like the black hand that make it worth taking a photo of. |

I would have bought that Rey Mysterio for my loose Jakks collection.

As much as I hate switchers and repackers, I got to admire their unmoral skills. Plus Kmart,Target,Walmart,TRU,and etc. all make enough money, profit wise, so it doesn't hurt them that much that they have to go bankrupt. Sure it makes finding figures harder but at least they aren't stealing the figure right in the store like common thieves. I went to Target yesterday and 5 elite boxes were all stripped of their stuff. It sucks but it's not the end of the world. Now people who switch entire TVs and other big items are a-holes to the business...

That's not why they rise prices. It's China's production values and currency that rise, causing Mattel to also rise their prices. And figures that don't sell gon't cause the price increase, they just go into clearence later. It's a dick move, yes, but it doesn't increase prices. |

And yet Wal-Mart started the $50 policy for shop-lifters. If the item you steal is less than $50 it isn't worth Wal-Mart's time and money to prosecute you. Turns out that putting people in jail for $3 greeting cards and 35 cent apples was costing Wal-Mart more money then the items were worth, and the PR was a nightmare. |
