If that's what he was doing good for you, but you should have let him give his excuse first. And then called him on it. Because what if he, wife (if he has one) or family member had bought them and didn't realize they were switches until they got home? You are basically telling them "too F'n bad" ...I mean how many times do we post seeing switches on the pegs? So what if someone who doesn't know that much about figures saw them and grabbed them thinking they were the correct figures only to get home and be told they were switches? It sounds like that wasn't the case as this guy knows about figures and said nothing about them being switches just that it was missing the belt already. What did he look like? I picture a fat guy with glasses and facial hair wearing a black shirt with some sort of dumb a$% phrase on it like "my other shirt is dirty" and wearing a hat. Oh and wearing shorts that go above his knees! Please let me know if I'm close lol Sorry, but if you are going to wear shorts they need to be cut just above the knee (maybe an inch) anything longer you might as well be wearing girls capris or just wear pants. And anything shorter you might as well have on gym shorts. The shorts like Cena has been wearing for years are a d@mn joke. I absolutly hate them. That was the one thing I truely hated seeing when Bret came back was he was wearing them. And don't get me started on a man wearing sandals of flip flops out in public. lol

Yeah, that is annoying. Good job on your part though.
I saw a Jakks deluxe Triple H in a basic package not long ago. I don't even know why they took it back, it obviously didn't fit and had been taped shut. Next time I went back it was gone. I just hope it wasn't purchased as a present for a kid, because he will not be happy. Had it not been the middle of the night, I would have taken it to customer service. I doubt they would have done much though.

Hey everyone! Yeah so, I think I've explained that I work in retail before in prior posts. We're all aware that people buy figures, swap out the Mattel figure with an old Jakks figure or even an outdated version of the same Mattel figure... Today I was up at the Customer Service Desk checking a phone. I get called up when someone's returning a phone and I check the serial numbers, etc. By chance, someone next to the person whose phone I was checking out was returning wrestling figures. It was a guy who I've see shop around, and he's even told me he posts on popular message boards about the hobby (if he posts here, and reads this, go yourself). Anyway...I saw two Elite boxes in his bag and thought "Oh, maybe he bought them and they were missing accessories..." because sometimes the belts or shirts get stolen. He pulled out two boxes, Elite 15 Yokozuna and Elite 15 Mark Henry. If I didn't already have Yokozuna I would have marked and probably bought Yoko at a later time. However, upon seeing them laid on the counter I noticed that they were not the correct figures. Inside the Yoko box was a Jakks Yokozuna without the robe (and it was stretching the plastic inside, to where the corners were ripping) and inside of the Mark Henry box was a basic Mark Henry in black and red...I think it's from a Battle Packs series, with no WHC. I pointed it out to the person talking to him and she said that she couldn't accept the returns, and he said "no you don't understand, the belt was already gone when I bought it, and I didn't notice so I'm returning both." To which I stepped in and said, "These are NOT the correct figures, these are both incorrect and wouldn't have been sold this way, I monitor the Toys Dept. and I know that I never had JAKKS and old BASiC figures in Elite packaging," and that was when he either realized he wasn't getting away with it or remembered me and stormed off with both figures saying that we're scamming him. Needless to say, I'm disgusted with people. If that person posts here, they can go straight to hell. Haha, good man i salute you!! I hate these scammers. Good job pal.

Glad to finally hear a story like this. You should've called the police because he's stealing. Would've loved to see him get busted.

However, being a collector I generally keep a hawk eye on toys (I work in electronics and I have to be responsible for Electronics, Phones, Photo, and Toys) and the WWE and Power Rangers sections are usually the neatest parts of the department because I watch them constantly. I know exactly what figures are there at all times. I know that on the time I'm not working, perhaps it could've happened...but I know that all of our Elites were bought the day before...as I was working when at the start of my shift they were there, and when I went to clean up they were gone. If I were irresponsible I wouldn't have called him out, but I try to watch what goes on diligently.
