You would think they would get caught on security camera. It is a bit suspicious seeing a person ripping into a toys packaging I'd think. Even if they are caught on camera if its a child there is nothing they can do. I work at walmart, and as a regular associate we can ask if they need help if they are doing anything suspicious but we can not approach them or accuse them of stealing at all it is not allowed. So basically if one of the two asset protection associates in the store does not see it they can grab anything they want and walk out with it. True. I remember that from when I worked in retail...just make sure they know you are watching. And you definitely can't lay a hand on them.

Ugh they took the only selling point of the Giant away. Even though his tank is way too big for other guys.

Because if after they are attempting to walk out ap will introduce themselves to you and tell you why they are stopping you. If the customer resists they can use force to apprehend them and get the stolen merchandise back. But unless they are of age it means nothing because a minor cant be charged...

Did the legends line have this problem? I think elites should go to an on card style box. I guess we will see next year when the new packaging comes out.

Why does this sort of thing keep happening in the US? Its really getting out of control.... Out of all the Toysrus outlets here in Singapore, the one near my place actually keeps the WWE Mattel toys inside a locked glass cabinet. So whoever wants to buy a particular item, they would have to take the yellow carded price tag with the item name and barcode and scan it at the cashier. Afterwards a staff member will open up the cabinet so you can choose your figure. Only the TRU outlet near my place has this system. Its probably to deter theft such as what is happening in the US and also helps keep the packages mint and untouched. Its better for us collectors. But all the other TRU don't have this system but they don't have any theft problems there either. So clearly shops there in the US need to step up on security and prevent this from happening. Are there any CCTV's there facing the aisles at Target, K-Mart or TRU?

What's worse is that when i bring something like this to customer service they don't care! Walmart is the worst.

The locked display cabinet would be a good fix I think.

That's pathetic, I see titles stolen out of the K-Mart exclusives, Diesels belt stolen, Henrys title stolen, basic Triple H stolen, rumblers, battlepack Ryback, and John Cena from elite 20. People need to stop doing this

A WWE figure in your country might be considered a luxury as detailed by members from Asian countries who pay about $40 standard price for an elite figure. In the U.S. Toys R Us puts more focus on their electronics section. Besides, don't they cut your hands off for shoplifting in your country. My hands or a WWE figure.... I think I love my hands more. Lol

Round the UK, we never see anything like this thank god. But, how do they not get caught by anyone especially in Walmart and places like that? You've clearly never been in a Walmart. It's so friggen hard to find an employee in there, it's ridiculous!

You would think they would get caught on security camera. It is a bit suspicious seeing a person ripping into a toys packaging I'd think. You gotta think though places like target and walmart usually only have 4 people doing loss prevention at a time. 2 watching cameras and 2 on the floor. Hard for 2 people to monitor and entire store 24/7. Heck I know people that do loss prevention at walmart and target and the ones at walmart say they dont have loss prevention guys working from 9pm-8am. I cant stand people who steal. I do believe in Karma and I hope it comes back to bite them hard later in life!

At my Target - they stole the belt, AND The Rock! The package was empty....
And it was the only one left.... lucky I found one the next day at a different Target. But it's frustrating....

Pure dirtbagness and laziness. You know what I do when I want the accessories and not the figure? I buy it and sell the figure loose on ebay! What a genius idea! Those figs loose will still go for around $20. And voila! You get the accessories and actually make $3.

Lol "Cut your hands off" for shoplifting in my country??? Seriously??? You don't get out much or travel around do you? Not sure where you got that from. There is no such sentencing, at least not where I'm from. No offense, but perhaps you should read up about Singapore first before saying such stuff and start offending someone.. Go to google and just type Singapore.

I'm sure glad this isn't a problem in my area. I've never seen this at a store around me.

Lol But I do find it rather amusing the need to have wwe figures locked in a glass cabinet. I guess toys have more value than jewelry these days.
