If you hate figure swapping as much as I do, I suggest you read this Shortpacked comic strip.

Shout out to Adam Pawlus of www.galactichunter.com & www.16bit.com for pointing it out!

Nice. :D

Though around here there's less swapping and more flat-out stealing. There are at least three wave 7 Viper packs at the local K-Mart which are hanging on the pegs with a figure missing and a big hole in the front of the package. And it ain't Gung Ho who's missing...:rolleyes:

Very funny! I wish I could find a real-life figure swapper to do that to.

I would bury my local swapper up to the neck in Gung-Ho's and Dukes. Then poor honey on him and release my trained bees!

Nice.

The Wal Mart by me for the longest time had a Link/Cobra Commander pk that someone had swapped the Cobra Commander and put a JVC t-crotch Cobra Commander in his place. Every time I went to that Wal Mart, I would check the joe section, and only find that pack.

Eventually, they will have to do inventory...

At the store i work at, someone bought a brand new HP CD/RW disk drive and swapped it with their old one and returned their old one in the HP box, we had it in the back and opened it up to find a Creative 4x2x24 CD/RW Drive dated 1999 LOL!

Man i feel sorry for the person working the service desk that night, there gonna get yelled at bigtime!

well here is an ultimate swap= the amount of work into this, guy shoulda bought it.
OK guy buys Xbox. removes inerds form case. puts vcr inerds in Xbox, returns Xbox.

goes to TAP plastics, has them fabricate a new case for X box.

ridiculous. so now guy has a clear xbox.
