Toy-swapping reaches Oz

[ampoldj]

Well what I saw overseas was worst than this where a TRU MP Thundercracker was swapped with a Rat Trap (crap i already deleted that pic ages ago)

not sure what Rat Trap it was since i am no Beast Wars guy though

[Raider]

this was still on the shelf today

I see this and all I think is "Why can't be Big W stock anything decent ever..."

Saw this in target in parramatta yesterday... Horrifying. Even more so when my son said in front of a staff member it was wrong and he didn't even care!

When I go into work tomorrow I'm going to let my supervisor know that this is happening in increasing volume. Last thing I want is seeing this happening in my store.

Terrible. By the way the one that Firestorm found in post 24 was still sitting on the peg as of a couple of weeks back. Couldn't find a sales rep nearby.

Had a run in with toy swapping at the Big W in the Melbourne CBD, where I found this unfortunate repackaging. Good luck building a giant robot

Was gonna post that. Has it moved? Was considering telling staff but they probably wouldn't care.

Golden Phoenix, Demonac, Paulbot & myself can confirm that was still there at the last meet

How stupid are the stores though for accepting these as returns. Most are clearly obvious going by the packaging artwork and the way they're stuffed inside.

It does seem a bit bizarre that people would take that risk. I returned an item to Toys-R-Us just last week (I promise it was the real item!) and had to show my drivers license and sign a return docket.

Must be some sloppy returns practices at these stores.
