I was in K-Mart today to see if they had the District 9 DVD (which they didn't) so I decided to see what figures they had. They had this whole section near the entrance with the new WWE Mattel figures. This one in particular caught my eye...(pictured below, sorry for the terrible quality)  Now, obviously this is a switcheroo, but I was very tempted to buy this on the sole reason of how obvious it is. I mean, a BCA Steve Austin and RA CM Punk? Are these workers intellectually- disabled? |

I would look at the pictures behind them and look at the figures and so, no returns. Plus BCA@?@?@?!!!@?@?!! Sorry, however took it back is outright dumb.

Idk how people get away with this. I returned a broken sports picks to TRU and the lady looked at it like 10 times and was like i just gotta make sure your returning the right thing b/c they got a letter saying people were switching.

They could have at least put older Miz & Morrison figures in there.

Would be funny if that austin was a rare and hard to find figure and the intellectually- disabled person that returned it didnt know, but thats a what if.

On a recent Walmart trip to see if I could find any x/1000s, I found my first ever switcharoo. (I apologize if this is somehow wrong to mention since it's not technically Mattel related)Somebody had taken out an RA DH Smith figure and replaced it with the Toybiz release of AJ Styles with the red shorts.
Both use initials in their name...
Both last names start with the letter S...
Both have worn red biker shorts at one point or another...
But it doesn't excuse the fact that there's no way you could mistake that figure for belonging in that package! Something was obviously amiss, but as I've learned from fellow employees sometimes Walmart employees are clock in-clock out kinds of people. Some just really don't care if you get what you want or if the correct figure is in the package, but that's what you get when they're paid the way they are. ($8.40/hr FTL)

Every time I've found a switcheroo, its been of a custom of the figure who was supposed to be in the pack. I've found an R3 Big Show with A-Train head in King Kong Bundy packaging, Test head on Kurt Angle body in Charlie Haas packaging, etc. etc.
