I work at walmart and I've seen a few returns similar to this. I just wish I was up at the desk when some scumbag tries it. Obviously 99/100 employees wouldn't know the difference.Starseeker wrote:So today I had a day off and went to Walmart with my kids. Everything TF related was wiped out. Then I saw this. One of two thoughts I have on this: either someone stole it outright in the store and stuffed the cheap non transforming Soundwave inside, or due to the fact that the box is taped on top, someone actually returned it like this and the people were dumb enough to accept it.

Today, the section is totally void of all SS, ER and Netflix figures, save for 3 Elitas and a Wheeljack. Hopefully the SS 86 figures are on the way. The deluxes have been marked down to $10, so I might pick up Elita for that much. She was pretty badass in the show. I still say she should have gotten a voyager figure.

100% that scenario. But don't call the walmart employees dumb, they can't know everything. The store sells thousands of different items that change on a yearly fashion. You couldn't tell the difference if it was a product you were unfamiliar with. They have a ton on their plate and plus there's no telling if the person who brought it back made the switch or bought it already switched up and then returned it with that as an explanation.
Instead of blaming the walmart employee, blame the thief. They are the only one who is in the wrong here.

In this case, if this was opened, even if the person doing the return was not familiar with Transformers, they would notice missing pieces. In this case, Lazerbeak and Ravage, and Soundwave's weapon.
I definitely do blame the thief that got away with it more than anything else.

No pictures of that since I don't like taking photos when people are around, but it had two Kingdom Cheetors, a Paleotrex, a Blackarachnia, three Optimus Primals, an MPM VW Bumblebee, and a SS Hot Rod. Not sure why they needed an endcap for that, surely it would have made more sense to fill the actual aisle first? At least there's sign of stuff being stocked for a change.
