Ftfy

Nah, the majority of them are nice guys considering most collectors are in their 30s or 40s.

>>5942111

What's the joke here?

>>5942149
Toys got swapped. Daredevil and Whirlwind are certainly not Iron Fist.

Only in America

>>5942111
>>5942167
calm down it's just kids toys

>>5942177
This desu. This is what you get when you buy $20 dollar hasbroshit from a toy store.

>>5942224
>thievery is ok

>>5942177
>>5942224
>Stealing is okay because they're toys for kids
Do you people even listen to yourselves?

>Iron Fist
>the iron parts are just on his wrist

Honestly I blame the retarded BAF business model. If they wanted this shit to stop happening they would just sell the completed figure separately to avoid this shit.

>>5942111
I pretty much agree.

>>5942504
This. I really hate the whole BAF thing wasting my money. I think it'd just be better to do something like...Every figure you buy gets you a coupon code, but you have to collect them all to complete that code. When you complete a set and collect all the codes, you can get a discount to buy the big Built figure. but if youre not a completionist, you save money anyway buying like 3 guys and the built figure IF you want the latter, so you dont have a torso piece lying around

Because they make you hard and tingly when you lick and suck them?

>>5942111
How else are they going to clear a whole $30 profit?

>>5942504
>>5942542
What does Build-A-Figure have to do with it? Both the regular figures and the BAF pieces were stolen.

>>5942111
Reminder that it is grown men that do this. Pretty sure that if my life got shitty enough that I resorted to figure swaps, I'd forgo buying the latest wave of figures and buy some garbage bags to suffocate myself with.

>>5942111

With the frequency this happens, I am almost convinced that the people that do this are just doing it hoping the pics surface in toy collecting communities, and not because they are actually desperate for the figures.

I mean, one or two figures I guess I can see people trying to get away with, but a whole fucking shelf?

>>5942657
I dont know about that. Its very common, I see this with marvel figures. Gi Joes get parts stripped off and older figs repacked. Vehicles get drivers swapped alot too, or just plain stolen.

When the World of Nintendo first wave hit, someone bought every single.one from target, resold link, returned the Mario figures to TRU and got $11 in credit for a figure they paid $9 for next door.

Toy collectors are shitty people.

>>5942111
Why not blame the employees who don't look over the product to make sure it is what its supposed to be?

If you bought a PS4 and opened it to find rocks, would you blame the store or the person who returned it?

>>5943580
I'd blame both, actually.

>>5943580
Customer service will take back literally everything to avoid listening to customers bitch. I've seen summer old lawn mowers and pools returned, you think something that looks this resellable will stop them?

>assholes

You don't know the meaning of the word

>>5943678
Tony Stark finally stopped being a selfish asshole and made suits for everybody?

>>5942632
there would be a teensy bit less reason to box swap figures if it werent for those damn baf pieces of characters i dont care about, or vice versa

if I ever caught some man child faggot doing this Id probably post their pics EVERYWHERE and claim he is a pedo.

I returned a bunch of Construct-Bots I got on clearance to Wal-Mart for store credit.

I once read of people returning clearance Armada Unicrons.

>>5943678
Ha! I took that photo. They are all still available in a Walmart near Toronto. War Machine for everyone!

>>5942111
Blame it on the retailers for not giving a shit and letting these retards get away with it. Hasbro won't do anything about it since they get paid by the retailers.

>>5943580
They probably don't have the time to go back and pull one off the shelf to compare. Every time I've ever had to deal with customer service, there was only one employee and a huge line, and probably one "customer" holding up the line with a blatant fraud attempt.

>I took that photo
No.. I did? Am I missing the joke here?

>Trading Iron Fist for yellow Devil
What the fuck.

>>5944248
that really is stupid, an exclusive for a shelfwarmer.

>>5944258
w-what

>>5944258
>took the figure
>left the alternate hands

So he's an asshole and an idiot.

>>5942657
These swaps occur at stores that attract people who can barley afford to live paycheck to paycheck.

That should tell you something.

>>5944172
The joke is you assholes thinking you took the pic when I clearly took it.

>>5944505

The people that do this are most assuredly idiots. Can you imagine, you buy a toy, you go home, open it up, put another one inside it and then go back to the store and return it.

>"I got a free toy"

This is how they lie to themselves about stealing. Is how they lie to themselves about the money they wasted on the toy they returned. Its how the lie to themselves that this isn't part of their sad little life. I know, I did it once when I was like 19 or something. Its fucking dumb, and Im better than that now.

>>5944258
Wait, that body looks like some Kamen Rider shit, but that head, is that New Goblin's? Did some asshole seriously swap heads with a Spider-Man 3 figure? Or does that actually belong there?

>>5943886
Did you take that at Markville Mall? I set up six War Machines like that and took a shot a week or so ago.

>>5944582
>>5944258
It is.
The body is literally Kamen Rider Gills.
I have no idea why you would want to trade him fro some shitty Spider-man figure.

>>5942928
>Toy collectors are shitty people.
Man, I just can't compete selling for $20 what somebody can steal for free next door.

I've thought about doing this a little ngl.

>>5944616

Yep, it was at Markville mall Walmart a couple weeks back.

>>5944510
lol nope. I took the OP pic at a target in white people townhouse country

Well that explains it.

>>5942111
>Toy collectors are assholes

Not really. This stuff happens all the time in retail. It's not just Toy Collectors.

Hasbro really needs to change the packaging to discourage this.

>>5942177
By that logic why waste the time with the swap?

Here's one I found a while back. I guess they just needed Scarlet Witch's head and hands for some reason? It actually looks cooler this way.

>>5947906
australia pls go

>>5944256
That Two Face is better option to the hasboshit

>>5944035
That's because they never cared enough to setup a system where they can just scan the item and have their monitor show them detail pics of what it's suppose to look like. They won't even check their own website .

it's just the ACBA guys
