I'm really tired of going to the stores to see belts having been ripped out and stolen out of the packages. Obviously this happens mostly with the elites. I think I've seen more elite 22 Big Shows without the belt then with the belt in retail. How much of a scumbag do you have to be to rip open a box in the store and steal the belt?

I wasn't going to mention this, but since I saw this thread.........I saw 6 figures with their belts missing last night. All at the same WM. 2 E22 Kanes, 2 E22 Shows, 1 E22 Rock, and 1 E23 Macho. Not to mention an E20 Santino with missing Cobra, and 2 Ryback/Jinder BP's missing the camera.

Immediately after I started this thread I went to another store and saw another elite 22 big show with the missing belt. Not only did somebody steal the belt but also his little stupid beanie cap. Really? Someone stole the little stupid beanie cap? I'm sure we will see that post it on eBay later tonight. |

These people are pretty pathetic to risk getting busted for shoplifting for stealing a toy belt or toy camera LOL.

The worst story I have for stolen belts is years ago as a kid when LJN made 2 packs. My parents took me to a Toys R Us and there was a Hart Foundation and a Killer Bees. BOTH had the belts stolen and I told them I didn't want them. Looking back now that may have been a mistake.

My walmart has 2 Antonios with the belts ripped out SMH. |

I bought a E23 Cesaro with a stolen belt the other day. They marked it down to 14.99 for me. In also at the point now where I'd buy an E23 macho with a stolen belt for full price. Seeing as I can't find it ANYWHERE.

Obviously, I started this post as I was doing some figure hunting this afternoon. I've now been to three different stores. Each store had 1 e22 big show. Each big show was missing the belt. One of the boxes had clearly been ripped open and the belt just ripped out. The other two appeared to have been purchased and returned without the belt, as they did not appear to have been ripped open. These stores need to get their stuff together with loss prevention and doing a better job of checking these figures on returns.

Seeing as I can't find it ANYWHERE. It's ridiculous that it comes down to that. Distribution sucks for this line. I NEVER had this hard of a time getting figs when Jakks was making these. |

I don't think there at any on the east coast period because I grew up in New Jersey and they didn't have me either. |

The last time I went to my nearest Walmart, they had 4 Elite 22 Big Shows with the WHC belt stolen and the packaging of all 4 were ripped. It's absolutely ridiculous that there are low-lifes out there who steal a figure belt and other accessories.

With the way some parents are today and how entitled many children have become, you have to wonder if some of them are actually allowing their children to do this and returning it for them so they don't have to buy the more expensive figures. We're constantly reminded in this society that the average person only has morals when it comes to getting caught red-handed. I don't even want to think about how much that would impact a growing child's concept of right and wrong.
