i know, i know, this thread happens quite a bit but here's my first 2 experiences with finding switches. i've heard the stories and seen some pics but never saw them for myself until i walked into a walmart and found this gem...  then i went to another walmart about 2 weeks ago looking for an E16 Heath Slater for another board member here to trade for his E16 Ezekiel Jackson. i saw Heath's picture from the carding hiding on a bottom shelf and quickly grabbed it. well when i turned it around i couldn't help but laugh at what i saw. i needed it so i took it to the registar and the lady cashier was about 60 something years old. she had no clue and sold it to me anyway. i didn't need Zeke's belt so i was completely fine with my purchase. here's...Ezekiel Slater???...  i find it sad yet funny. i mean some of these switches are downright awful but the stores to blame too for taking them back. i can understand if the wrestlers look "somewhat" alike but these aren't even close. oh well, whatcha gonna do brother! |

That Zeke-Slater switch has to be the worst switch I have ever seen.

Thieves make me furious, but Zeke Slater gave me a chuckle. Someone really wasn't paying attention on that return.

That is pretty funny but I would be mad if I was looking for a Heath Slater and a Zeke was in the box.

The pic was taken at my house cause I bought it like I mentioned in the first post. I wish I took the picture at the store but I wasn't thinking about it at the time. It was a legit Walmart switch, I can swear on my 2 year old son that's exactly how I found it on the bottom shelf. |

The stores are to blame, but as i said in another thread these posts are a BIG part of keeping these switches going. People wanting these figures end up on these boards, and a post like this pops up every single day and people see how many people are doing this and how many people are getting away with it so they try it. Then they tell there friends who try it too. Then there friends try it as well. It's never ending.
It's like when a parent tells there kid not to do something. The kids obviously going to do it. This is the same. You temp people with free things they love, show them time and time again it works and there going to do it.

Unless you have some REALLY stupid employees at your Wal Mart/TRU/KMart/Target that can't differ race, this won't help the switchers at all. |

I saw a jakks deluxe HHH in a basic HHH package taped shut. I wish I had my phone with me to take a picture that day. I went back the next day but it was gone...
I really hope someone took it to the customer service desk and didn't buy it for their kid.
