That sucks, but I probably would have bought that Punk anyway.

XD That's funny! I actually want a long hair Punk so I probably would've bought it anyway. Side note: My Walmart still hasn't gotten the superstar entrances figures :/

The time and effort involved in re-sealing a basic just to save 10 bucks is not really worth it at all. That's insane that people are going THAT far on switches...

There's all kinds of swaps in these figures including Ziggler's knee pads.
On a side note, what's up with Punk and his Jesus head scan getting so much admiration.

I actually hated that Punk scan...all of Mattel's earlier Punk scans were pretty bad
the Basic 2 was victim of "peanut head" and the "jesus" one wasn't that good either....
Punk's one of those guys who's literally been from worst to first with his scans

The best switch ever was whoever switch Elite 19 Kane with 12 FB Kane. LOL, that was awesome.

I would be pissed if I saw B27 Antonio and then look at it and have it be Randy Orton

They tried to at least keep the figures looking like the ones on the card until they got to Punk.
It's very funny to me that you'd pretty much have to know who Punk was to be able to tell that the last one was even him based on the card picture. It's almost like the person who did this lives in that "wrestling fan bubble" so much that they thought, "the person at the service desk will be able to tell if it's not CM Punk, so I have to use a Punk figure!" I'm surprised they didn't just throw another Orton in there. Orton looks more like the guy on the card than SES era Punk.
I have yet to see anything top the Jakks "mascots" 3-pack I saw in a store once that was swapped with dollar store Transformers figures. I wish I had a camera with me. I can't believe someone actually looked at that and thought, "nothing fishy here!"

Its sad that the customer service people will never even think to check the merchandise because they are toys. No one expects people to scam stores for their toys. Any associate with a brain could look at the packaging and realize the guys should have shirts on. But they don't even think to check because they are action figures. Inexpensive items that no one should be stealing.

I've been lucky and seen it once at Tulsa TRU. It was the first time I even seen a switch, I was angry then sad. I've seen belts and figures stolen, but never a switch. This is the first time I've seen a basics switch. Booooooooo |

Chip, I'm actually somewhat astounded that you gave these people credit for what they did in the title. |

"Genuine scumbag asshats" is comic gold. Good stuff.
Not that Elite switcheroos are cool and acceptable, but if you're switching basics, you must not have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. If you can't afford the hobby, please stop.

I don't understand, So people are buying these figs and then taking them home and switching them with bogus figs and bringing them back? Or they are plain ol ripping them off in the stores there by taking the fig and then replacing them another fig they opened? The resealing it somehow? I don't get it. How are these assclowns not caught?
