The funniest part about this to me isn't the switch to the Dollar Tree figures, its that they even substituted one of the chairs from the Dollar Tree figures.

Did they draw the facial hair on those figures? I'm getting sick of this shizz. I never see Marvel toys or TMNT or any other brand with these stupid switches. Of course when poor white trash is your biggest demographic... So... we're all poor white trash. Their demo is children. Collectors and teens are probably the ones that pull most switches. I honestly think it's 95% collectors that do it. |

The facial hair on these guys are too good to be Mattel.

I'm saying that in my area alone there are po' white trash scalpers that have fashioned themselves as self professed toy dealers and are the most likely culprits for doing this. And I was sarcastically referring to wrasslin' fans as mostly being redneck trash. It was a joke.... |

Especially when the person making said statement is part of what's being referred to. I deal with it for real on a daily basis at work. And as a collector of MANY toy lines this has to be the worst for this. Seen a few gi Joe ones but that's it. But it's not a problem that's going to end. And its nothing new. So I tend to roll my eyes about it. Report the item to the help desk. Then move on. |

I'm well aware of the dangers of blanket statements amd naive cynicism, that's why its a good thing that jokes rarely reflect the true core values of the person who made them. Besides, I never said it was funny, but I guarantee you if you read it in Scott Steiner's voice you'll find it funny; not because its a funny line, but because its Steiner. |

It wouldn't have been as coherent either. Steiner has no simpy for scalpers. And he has a 75.33% chance of beating them to the store anyway because he's a genetic freak! |

It wouldn't have been as coherent either. Steiner has no simpy for scalpers. And he has a 75.33% chance of beating them to the store anyway because he's a genetic freak! See, it's all good. The truth of the statement if I had to draw it forward is that wrestling figures are a flea market staple and as someone who has worked for a comic shop and done the convention circuit, I have seen time and again that the dregs of human society, the people I couldn't even trust enough to leave the van unlocked while I unloaded it and made trips back and forth, are the very people I believe to be doing tjes switches. It makes perfect sense. I've talked to the non-professionals at these shows, I.e. the scalpers and the self made eBay men, and its a miserable meager existence. With the frequency of releases and the access to older items to replace the current figure with, coupled with the abbarent social nature of most of these fellows I've had the misfortune to talk to equals your answer as to who is stealing this toys. Let's not dress it up, its stealing. But as Steiner would say, attn: White Trash and Rednecks. |
