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?

Yeah, I've seen that done to Star Wars figures lately. People swapping older figures in newer packages. Like you said, some poor kid will buy it thinking they got a variation. It sucks and it's just plain wrong.

The JBL is having all sorts of sightings of this sort of things now. Most people want the DOC sticker but are fooling around with the figures too.

i saw someone on ebay trying to sell a swapped out pack saying it was ultra rare i feel sorry for the person who buys this without knowing any better

Well Outrider and other non-25th fans will enjoy these I think. I think if the VAMP is roomy enough for 25th, then ARAH should be able to see through the window. I love the my original VAMP, but it is hard for Clutch to see through the window...

Unfortunately behaviour like this is all too common now. It is a sad sign of the times, I'm afraid.

This is nothing new, when the 2004 VOTC Stormtroopers came out, there were tons of them returned with the POTF Stormtrooper in there. I was at the DOLLAR Store & found several single pack figures with holes poked through the back & all the accessories removed, on $1 figures! I am suprised you all aren't finding all kinds of VvV figures in 25th packaging. Maybe with the cost of gas it is just cheaper now to buy the figure & not make a 2nd trip to scam the next guy.
