So earlier today my friend and I were out on the hunt trying to find Elite 54 and NXT Elite 3. We stopped at a Kmart while we were out and found something there that really confused us. imgur.com/tlP4z65Anyone have any idea how that even got there? Thing doesnt even have a barcode. Only thing we could think of is someone brought it in and left it but Why? As a joke or something? Also saw this at a Target. imgur.com/XNzq1VaPeople suck. Though my friend and I did get a laugh out of it. This was our third Target, first one had three Pipers and my friend was thinking of getting one. Second had two and I told him he better get one because the next Target will probably only have one and the box will be damaged. He got it and sure enough we get to the third Target and find that.

So annoying seeing stuff like the repack. I went to target recently and they had a diesel fig box with a john cena with a stone cold vest. I wanted a diesel figure!!

Ringside sells their products through Kmart's site, so someone likely bought it online and returned it in store.

They usually have coupons for $5-10 off $30-40 and if the figure is close enough to retail or cheaper I use store pick up at a Sears or one of the few kmarts left. Nice way to sidestep ringside charging at least $8 to ship something...

I think Kmart and Ringside are partnered in some way, I remember seeing a picture of K-Mart shelves loaded with Ringside Exclusive Edge, Rock, etc.
Swappers piss me off to no end. Cameras should be placed in every WWE section if you ask me, might catch one of these rats in the act.

This was the exact method I used to order so many items: the ASR ring and accessories, RSE figs and combo deals, figs that I missed otherwise. Was my method, because my d*mn Kmart is closing in two weeks.

I was at Target earlier this week and found two messed up current battle packs. One was a Miz/Daniel Bryan but with much older figures of them (Bryan with short hair and tights). The other was the Foley/Stephanie but with a basic Mankind body with elite Cactus torso and head. Even weirder is that the packages looked untampered with.

If you can catch who’s buying them, it’s easier to narrow it down.

At a Target recently I saw both The Revival Elites, but each one had a WWE Tag belt (the E10 Big Show SD belts). I shouldve bought them..

Swappers and belt thieves are scum, pure and simple. Worse, you know that with the older figures being used, it's not some punk-ass kid doing it. It's a grown man who apparently needed a few more trips to the ol' woodshed when they were younger.

And I never said the cameras had to only be in the WWE section.

It's a grown man who apparently needed a few more trips to the ol' woodshed when they were younger. I don’t understand why Mattel & Hasbro wouldn’t consider going back to the classic style package. Sure it can be done, but it would be a lot less frequently. Haven’t run across any 40th Anniversary Star Wars or Marvel Legends ‘Vintage’ swaps. Not too many NECA or the old ToyBiz Marvel Legends were swap outs The way they make these figures now, it just makes it so that even a kid can do it with ease I’m not a MOC collector so it really doesn’t matter to me, but I kind of like the look of the throwback Star Wars and Marvel (and WWE Hasbro) packaging. Imagine making carding backs for a series of 80’s guys made to look like LJN’s - for us old guys, that would be awesome -
