Took a trip to Sandusky, Ohio today. I live one county over (Lorain). There's a strip just outside of Sandusky that has EVERYTHING. Walmart, Target, Meijer's, etc. I've tried all the stores in my area so I was hoping to find some goods out there. I was really looking for Elite Sheamus & Drew McIntyre for the figures and belts and Mr. Perfect/Rock legends.
1st stop: Toys 'R Us - Nada
2nd stop: Walmart - Nada
3rd stop: Target - There's Drew & Sheamus!!! Oh wait...the package has been opened on the side. The titles are missing. WHO DOES THAT!?!
3rd stop: Meijer's - Nada
4th stop: Big Lots - Ran into the pricing issue that was posted earlier. Ravising Rick Rude was $8 or $13. I grabbed the $8 one and a Jake Roberts for $13.
I wanted to try Family Dollar but the old lady spent too long at Kohl's so we didn't have time. I said all of the above to say this...I'm new at Mattel collecting. Is this issue of stealing title belts a problem? I was so pissed. I feel bad for Target & Mattel because they missed out on over $30 in sales today because some idiot stole the belts. It's not Target or Mattel's fault either. What a screw.

I've not seen a missing belt yet but lots of people here report it. I don't get who it is. Has to be kids. No one should have to buy them with the belt missing, Mattel needs to put them deeper in the package or something. I know what the long trip for nothing is like.

I have never seen any missing belts, but a few swapped out figures. Most notable is someone buying an Elite Goldust, and returning it without accessories. My friend though picked up an Elite 10 Kane for me the other day, and it turns out someone cut the front of the package and took the belt. I hate people sometime, and hope that they have their stuff stolen
