The kids would never notice the difference between elite punk or basic punk in that package. Neither would the parents.

They don't care so long as they make a sale - which they will, to a loving parent who is unwittingly giving their kid the suckiest gift ever.
Still, it's the switchers who piss me off more than some faceless retail chain anyway.

Its laziness really. I been saying it since day 1 that it's not Mattel or their packaging that is the problem, its the Wal Mart employee's and other store employees. Even those managers, they are just there like everyone else trying to get their day done and get paid. They don't care about writing up paper work for a $17 plastic action figure, and frankly i don't blame them. If i worked at Wal Mart too, the last thing i'd be worried about or want to tie up my day is filling out forms of papers to return a plastic toy. It's a shame ppl do this, and a shame the stores don't take more action but I guess i'm saying it is the stores fault, but i really don't blame them. Maybe if this was happening with $100 CD Players everyday or something, then some action would be taken, but not for a action figure. That's the price you pay shopping retail. You just take that risk and nothing you can do about it.

@bussinjuugs (since I Mhavinf an issue with using the quote to reply. You need to do a little research. In fact just try googling! It was in the national news. That is the exact store policy and simply googling it you will find the answer I typed above. It is a new policy so please read and do research. I know I am 100% correct on this statement. I am not trying to be rude but why would I make something like this up....? I do not appreciate being called a liar on something I know very well.
Again with that being said it is a screwy policy and I do not in anywa condone the action of stealing. In fact I just stopped by my local walmart today to bu wrestle mania 9 to -15.... I already bought the first 8 a few days ago. I know this is a figure board but 10 bucks a DVD is not bad! It was my only option since elite 21 has not hit my area yet...

Is the edit and quote not woken for anyone else either? I am on an iPad and cannot quote nor can I go back and edit my statement Above (which has misspelled words). Is anyone else having this problem? I use an iPad so maybe it is fine on a pc or Mac...

This is what that figure should be: This is what the kids and parents see: I'm sure kids know what toys are supposed to look like. And if they don't, that's a shameful thing , lobsterhead.

Just because its on the Internet doesn't mean it's true. Just because someone reported it doesn't mean it's true. NO company is going to announce "hey, come steal anything you want user $25, we don't care." As someone who worked for Walmart for years/knows a lot of sketchy people, I assure you that they'll press charges over whatever the hell they want. Use some common sense and don't be such a sensitive geek next time.

Well I do not know what to tell you.... You are wrong. But I can tell you this much. In a few months you will hear about this but it will again be a policy change. Just keep your eye on the national news. Fox or CNN does not really matter. You will see (changes are coming to the current policy again) BUT I am 100 percent correct in my statement until this they come out again and make these changes.

Walmart should be ashamed of itself.
