Well I picked up the last BOPPV HHH over the weekend at TRU and after opening him to ship loose to a fellow board member someone had already taken out the Cole torso. They actually did a pretty good job because nothing seemed out of the ordinary that I noticed. I've seen a lot of accessory theft before but usually it's blatantly obvious. I guess they just removed the tape from that side flap and put it back together, fooled me I must be getting old.
Since it was the last one I won't be able to get another until next Friday at the earliest and that's if they even get them in. I collect MOC so had I kept this one for myself I would have never even known so I suppose it is good that I opened it.
Just wanting to post this as a warning for those buying these figures. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet, either return the fig to TRU or maybe I can try calling Mattel? Suggestions welcome. Be careful guys!

If you do return it, I would make sure to tell a Manager or someone so they dont just put it back on the shelf thinking nothing is wrong with it. Im not to shocked by someone taking the parts as you cant really notice it missing unless you look closely inside the box.

So it will prevent them from putting it back so that no one will buy an incomplete HHH. |

I have a feeling this is going to happen a lot because the parts are under the figure and not obvious if they are missing unless you look.

It would be wise moving forward to be cautious of this type of bs. Hopefully with Bret and DBryan I just get them when they first hit and I won't have to worry about this stupidity. |

This is crappy. People really suck sometimes.  I actually thought about this when I picked up my Cena. I stared down into the box to make sure i could see arms. They were on top of each other and looked like one one arm was there. I was getting a little paranoid but I could see losers just stealing the parts from the figures. Your story makes me more paranoid, I think. When I find Hart and Bryan, I will definitely make sure the parts are there before buying. I hope you get a refund or something. You might try calling Mattel. Explain that the figure didn't even look opened. I hope you get the torso that you paid for. (That was a weird sentence) |

Wow, not surprised someone already pulled this off. I made sure my pieces were in there when I got mine. Sorry you had to deal with a thief like that.
