This make me angry.

You paid 100%, so that is what you should get. I would take it back to Target and demand they put the next one that comes into the store aside for you. (Talk to a manager and tell him you will never shop in this store again, and inform him that you will be calling Target's head office. Trust me, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.) Be curt with them, they would be if you left and only paid for half of it. I would write a scathing letter/email to Hasbro about this too. Call Hasbro's 800 number and light them up. It is unacceptable, that integral parts are missing from a new box! Sorry man, this must really tick you off! I am pissed for you. Update-I just looked- Hasbro online has them in stock. You could take it back for a full refund and order it directly from Hasbro. With a receipt, they must give you a full refund. http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/gi-joe...=520&ST=SO&PG=1 Last edited by acmillerjr : 10-08-2011 at 08:47 AM.

Fortunately I didn't have to go high and right, I took it back to TARGET and exchanged it for another one, I did open this one in the store to ensure all the pieces were there. I did save the sticker sheets from the one I returned... I thought that was fair since Hasbro made me take it back. And yes I inspected the box before, this appeared to be unopened. In fact I choose that particular one out of the 4 on the shelf because it had the least amount of "shelf ware." Anyway now I got me new Sky Striker and I am ready to start taking some pics! Stay tuned!!

Yes!- I'm happy for you. I would like to have put some of my son's dirty diapers in the box for them, and said "hey, here's the load of crap you sold me!"

I used it myself a few times for Starwars & G.I. Joe vehicles... I don't know if they still do this or not.... __________________ Coming Soon: G.I. JOE: Project "Z" and in production G.I.
