Always good to hear stories like this. Good job to you. I'm sure they are appreciative.
To share my own story, one day I got a text from my mom saying she found an "error figure" for $10. I told her that if she didn't mind, grab it and I would check it out. Well it was no error. Someone had swapped a basic HHH head and replaced it with a Heyman. No doubt they made a custom COO HHH. I still have the figure somewhere but we haven't opened it or even used it as custom fodder.

To swap out a figure is a low life thing to do. I don't hate them for it, I pity their very existence. And to think, one day, they may be someone's parents, what hope would a child of theirs have. Stealing a few Dollars, they are a joke.

This is sadly true. But the problem isn't just the grunts. It's the management all the way up the top of the chain.

You're a good man for doing this. Did the mum thank you? Yeah she said thank you and I think ended up getting a Roman Reigns figure for the kid.

Nicely handled. That's something I would do. I'd also try to convince the kid to get someone other than Cena.

I consider this to be an act of toy blocking, the kid was about to get a new figure and was seemingly happy with it, and you totally ruined it.

Good on you for bringing it to her attention even though she may not have known the difference or fully appreciate what you did. Hopefully the Figure Gods will somehow reward you for your good deed in some way, whether it be finding an elusive figure, a pricing error, winning a contest, etc.

Kudos to you man. It burns a hole in my soul when I see the swapped figs and/or stolen accessories. Sometimes I wish I could catch these bungholes in the process.

i have dealt with so really scummy scamming people in my local stores who want to "be friends" and "network" with ways to rip stores off and it always makes me really uncomfortable. I always try to remember too, that toys are meant for kids, and though at 31, I still love them, kids should always have first crack st them. I won't pick anything up if a mom or dad with a kid, or just a kid in in the aisle. I want them to have first dibs and i can get what is left. I am glad you said something, bc that type of behaivor ( of the swapper) is just messed up.
