GoCards Your Eskimo Brother Offline --> Posts: 6,085 --> Join Date: Nov 2006	Good find there, guiltridden. My brother used to work at Toys R Us and he would catch people doing this all the time. He knew what was up, and would call them on it. He said it got so bad that eventually people went to somebody else to make a return. Personally, I feel really bad for little kids more so than for us "adults" when I see stuff like this.

And why is it that you run a greater chance of meeting dishonest scalpers trying to rip you off when buying gijoes than you do when buying friking crack cocaine!! I am very thankfull for that most sellers are very honest but damm! When it is such a cheap hobby it should not attract so many wannabe con artists.

Just wait till the new DVD packs come out. You will start to see figures missing out of them too. Im thinking the BAT is going to be the big one to show up missing next to Snake Eyes. Im thinking I may just buy a few of those DVD packs and keep the BAT and Dusty and give the DVD and other figures to some of the neighborhood kids. Maybe I can get a few of them into GI JOE.Im definately not going to place them on E-bay just to make a few bucks.
