Strangest thing you have seen in a store?
I was in a TRU the other day and I saw they had some of the new comic Two packs. I heard how everyone was going ga-ga over the comic two pack Fred/Crimson guard that came with the scarface trooper. I looked at the package and noticed the Crimsons guard had a Neo Viper commander head on him.
"How Cheesy" I thought. I could have sworn they had a head and a helmet. So I looked at the bottom of the package and ...nothing. Then my wife noticed that in the bubble packaging there were two holes where there should have been a helmet and backpack. She reach down to the bottom of the display where there was a complete one and showed me. It didn't astound me that someone would steal his head and helmet, but to put on a head from a Neo Viper Commander? WTF? Now, here's TRU trying to sell this as a complete set, and because some dillweed went and swapped heads, it will probably get sold to some poor unsuspecting kid.
I'm thinking maybe someone bought this, took it home and did that to use the head/helmet on their 25th single pack CG and brought the doctored one back. But why not just pop the 25th CG head on? Doesn't it fit in the bubble pack? Has anyone else seen anything this strange?
