what's funny to me is the effort that went into swapping this out. He had to purchase the figure, drive home, open it somehow without damaging the card, reglue it somehow, drive BACK to the store, return it, and FINALLY get his 10 dollars back.. so much wasted effort..what an idiot..

Somewhere out there, Brock is wearing a snazzy suit.

I like that you went up to the minimum wage employee and did a Miz impression.
Most people you encounter wouldn't recognize a WWE wrestler standing in front of them. Maybe Lesnar due to UFC. But either way, they surely don't know about the toys.

For real. It even says on the package that stuff may differ from what's pictured. Swaps don't take time and effort. None of these people are idiots. They do their job, which is ask if there's anything wrong with it, scan it, and give you money back. It's not their job to google if it's the right figure. I've returned a lot of stuff in my time (no swaps though) and its painless and not some crazy inconvenience like some of you act like it is. Y'all just mad cause the swappers got what you don't.

my brother works in "loss protection" for Walmart. His 9-5 job is to walk around Walmart and watch for people stealing stuff. A spin off of his job is managing the returns department. He's caught several swappers doing stupid crap, not just with WWE but also with Barbies and My Little Pony. He's watched wrestling through proxy from me for 25 years and was a fan before that.. and has 4 daughters. he's going to spot when things like those aren't right.

I saw a Jakks UFC Brock in an Elite box at Walmart today. This moron cut up a Rey cloth shirt so it would kind of look like a sleeveless pullover. Way to cover your ass, I'm sure that was the deciding factor in fooling the service desk.

With how clueless these employees are, it would be intresting to go to every store that you have bought a figure at recently and try to return a swapped figure. You could see how many would take it, and how many would know that it wasn't right. But, you wouldn't be returning the figure anywhere.

I doubt Stores train their employees on which wrestlers are which. It sucks that people do this, but I can't really blame the employees. If somebody handed me a Barbie in a Barbie package, I would have no clue if it was the right one.

I saw a Cena and Kane Battlepack in TRU - with the Kane figure just ripped out! First time I'd seen something like that over here...

I haven't seen any figures being switched in my area, but we do have a belt thief. Took the tag titles out of two Elite Even Bournes.
