It's getting ridiculous. And it's not that retail prices are over the top in my opinion (well compared to online prices anyway). I'm sure that Giant shirt is right now on someone's Kevin Nash figure.

That's terrible. I've never seen that around here though.... Surprising. Considering how terrible the area is.

This really pisses me off. But Mattel doesn't care. If they cared, they would do the clam shell style sealed packaging like the McFarlane Sports Picks. I buy those things and get them home and they are a pain in the ass to open. It takes 10 minutes to open one with scissors, lol.

Hopefully that new packaging we saw ...I mean, whatever new packaging they have upcoming... fixes this problem.

Round the UK, we never see anything like this thank god.
But, how do they not get caught by anyone especially in Walmart and places like that?

They didn't even put creativity in it they just ripped it.

This is getting ridiculous like you said aussiedcfan, and yes that would be awesome if the new packaging fixed this problem.

That sucks. Good thing I never see this where I live.. Cause there's no elites haha. But still, hopefully Mattel will find a way to fix this for others who experience this.

Another reason why it's easier to buy online.

If I ever run into this I will do my best to have the person caught. With work Im on the road everyday and literally stop everyday at any store that carries figs unless I know nothing new is there. So I would know that they were stolen within the last 24hrs and they could easily spot the person on cam. Especially if they have an idea what time they were put on the shelves. I can assure you the person that did this is a regular and could be identified by a worker.

You would think they would get caught on security camera. It is a bit suspicious seeing a person ripping into a toys packaging I'd think. Even if they are caught on camera if its a child there is nothing they can do. I work at walmart, and as a regular associate we can ask if they need help if they are doing anything suspicious but we can not approach them or accuse them of stealing at all it is not allowed. So basically if one of the two asset protection associates in the store does not see it they can grab anything they want and walk out with it. |

Also if they are caught on camera the only thing we could do is make a case turn it into the police and hope something comes of it. Most of the time they dont even follow up...
