it really is too bad that this goes on. I was in a K-Mart the other day and there were two elite packages with figures missing out of them...just hanging up on the shelf with only the accessories in the boxes. How does anybody get away with this?
All you can do is report it to the store so they pay better attention. I agree, posting pictures of it gives knuckleheads more ideas....and kids get jipped as a result.

The one looks like Sinister Minster. And I'd rather have the Jakks Snitsky instead of the Batista.

These piss me off. I just imagine the poor kid who gets these as a gift from relatives who don't know what they are looking at. Mattel needs to do something with the elite packaging to make this harder. There is no toyline that I've collected that comes close to being as bad as Mattel WWE figures.

I saw garbage like this at my local retailer and when I tried to bring it to the managers attention, he seemed lost. I had to break down the difference (with props) between basics and elites. I didn't appear to get too far. Two weeks later, same figures resurfaced on the same shelf.

I ran into this sort of garbage this week at Kmart and then again this morning at Walmart. When I get a chance I will post pics but needless to say, it was ridiculous.

The problem is they don't get paid enough to care. And I don't know how Target functions, but I would hope they have "Section Leaders." People who work in specific areas of the store. Where they can be knowledgeable about the products in that section. For example, I worked in "Boys World" at TRU. The boys toys section. I suspect that Target is too big and this is too small of a problem for them to address properly.

here comes the "change the packaging" theory
newsflash: the packaging AIN'T the problem, the stealers ARE, changing the packaging ain't gonna do jack; even if you made it as indestructible as Fort Knox, and hard to penetrate like the Pentagon. There's ALWAYS a way to get in

There's ALWAYS a way to get in 100% correct. Where there is a will, as they say. Trust me when I say that items much bigger and more expensive get stolen all of the time. In this case, it is a returns issue. It's a Target policy and training issue. Let me also add that Target should be pulling these and using them as training examples for their employees. Every time it happens they should turn it into a learning opportunity. |

There's ALWAYS a way to get in sure there will always be thieves, but its harder to tamper with a traditional blister pack (repacks or whatever) than the elite style packaging where all you have is a couple peices of clear tape then a flap that opens to a pull out tray. I don't think anyone believes a packaging change will totally solve the problem, but it could help. I've been a toy collector of several different lines for many years and I've never seen a problem to the level of the WWE elite line. Does it happen to other lines? Of course, but quite frankly the elite style packaging is really thief friendly. |

I guess people don't know what taking it to far is. |

Why the hell would they put a rag on Batista's face? The packaging mentions a "highly detailed tattoo", not a rag.  |

I'd probably buy that Snitzsky. I need that one for my RA collection.

Yeah this is ridiculous. Mattel is going to have to change the Elite Package. I don't understand why they don't use a glued bubble like they do for basics.
