Mattel take note of this: They are a work of ART!!!
But back to reality: I think it's kind of lame and embarrassing that people would just take figures out of the box and "replace" them with crappy ones. I mean it's kinds sad how even adults do this kinds of things.

theft affects the bottom line of sales. bottom line affects prices. i worked in retail for 7 years and got lectured about it all the time. 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. yeah when i worked at kmart and they caught you stealing if it was under 50 or 100 they'd let you go but you were banned from the store for life and you had to pay a fine or something like that. anything else and the cops came.

I just had to laugh at the apple part. I mean seriously, who the f**k steals a apple from walmart? If I was walmart, I would send those people to a asylum cuase they are obivously idiots and/or crazy. yeah when i worked at kmart and they caught you stealing if it was under 50 or 100 they'd let you go but you were banned from the store for life and you had to pay a fine or something like that. anything else and the cops came.

Wrong, this is great! If they go to that much effort then they deserve the damn thing. Besides, I couldn't live without these posts where you people cry and get all bent out of shape over this. Its hilarious. Nothing is going to change. If you don't feel sorry for some poor hard working parent who is going to buy this for their kids thinking they will love it then you are a bad person.

If its a parent buying it for their kid then chances are the kid isn't going to know the difference between Jakks and Mattel, Elite and Basic etc. If they see their favourite wrestler then its not going to come down to 'I don't want that it because its Jakks' or 'that one doesn't have the right amount of articulation' etc. They'll like it regardless because its of the wrestler they like.

Disgusting p.o.s why rob now matter what and to replace w/ a complete another brand of figure or to cut up and blacken a box just to get money back is abusrb...And i dont know but i would think that if i worked at the store where the Dolph/kane figure was returned i would def. have a hard time believeing it to be even close to an original package but that imo...If i cant find a figure in a store i either wait for it on rsc or i have friends look for me until i find it.

Its hilarious. Nothing is going to change. If you don't feel sorry for some poor hard working parent who is going to buy this for their kids thinking they will love it then you are a bad person. Its always the same arguments, isn't it. Some poor, hard working parent....sob... Some poor child on Christmas. Some poor child with a dibilitating std whose last wish was an Elite John Cena only to find....a WCW Mongo McMichael! Its funny, very funny. I don't care if YOU say I am a bad person. Ooooh, some jackass on a wrestling figure board thinks I am a bad person. It's still highlarious. They repainted the damn thing, that takes a great deal of effort, so they get points for brashness in my book. It's more entertaining than a shelfwarmer. I would take those slackers who repaint their returns over the pious losers who cry about it and claim "something must be done!" any day of the week. There is nothing you can do, just give it up. I found an Elite DiBiase with a DC Piper in the package at the same store at the same time as I found an Elite Kozlov with the basic in its place. Around the same time, there was an Elite Jericho with the R3 in the package. You don't see me stomping around in a tizzy over it. People get killed and raped needlessly,others are starving in the streets, but the topic you feel the need to get fired up about is wrestling figure returns? Do you know how stupid that sounds? Get over it.

What's up with people using RKO lately? And this thread is getting out of hand, I hate it when members fight over some stupid crap that someone else did.

Get over it. its a wrestling figure forum. obviously people arn't going to talk about people getting killed or raped. I dont know how many times ive heard people come back with that one over a subject they were tired of, but ya obviously its a wrestling figure forum so people who collect and are interested in wrestling figures complain about related subjects. if you dont like it then stay out of the thread I Think this new Trend Sucks because theres nothing i hate more than seeing Jakks Product on the Shelves.

I am just tired of little whiners like you who get all pissy over nothing. God you people are losers. Get your priorities straight. There is more to life than wrestling figures....well, based on how upset some of you get over this, maybe there isn't. Every week, EVERY WEEK this topic appears, with everybody raising their blood pressure to dangerously high levels over it. I bet half of these repacks were done by the people who posted them to get their kicks and stir up the board. If there is anything worse than an overzealous wrestling fan its an overzealous wrestling figure fan.
