Swapped return at Walmart

At Walmart Erin Mills and Burnhamthorpe
Someone painted and used marker on what looks combiner wars Voyager and returned it in a Sky Shadow package.
They even put a decepticon logo n the shoulder.
This is sad and pathetic when it happens to a $5 hot wheels car.
But to a $60 toy, I hope it doesn't become a trend.

Re: Swapped return at Walmart

Wow! That is brutal! I want to say I can't believe someone would do that...but we see it far too often Did you bring it to the store's attention? Maybe the person returned the funds to a credit card at least.

Re: Swapped return at Walmart

Unfortunately this happens way to often, in my area Walmart's in Brampton anyway, i once saw a dollar store wrestling figure in a WWE elite box with a paper photo copy of the belt in the place where the toy belt goes...i don't know how that even passed.
I spoke to a employee once and she seemed surprised called her manager and the manager just told her to put it back on the shelf, crazy.

But i agree i hope this is not going to be the trend, id hate to see a unknowing parent buy this for their child who may or may not know the difference.

Figure is a Universe Skyfall with some paint app modifications.

I show it to the management every time I see something like this.
I STRONGLY suggest everyone do so, because maybe one of these jerks will get caught in the act someday.

Re: Swapped return at Walmart

That may be the worst swap I've ever seen.

One WM here has a 'toy-return photo folder' for Marvel Legends. Which the lady stared-at profusely when I returned 1 TF once. Fun times thanks to thieves.

Not even remotely the worst I've seen. I once found a Revenge of the Fallen Voyager-class Fallen with the figure replaced... with a Voyager Transformers Animated Bulkhead.

Re: Swapped return at Walmart

i appreciate that is a low brow move, but have to admit a grudging respect for the sheer brazen audacity of this swap
