This is an epidemic at Walmart for almost everything. People are constantly doing it with things like Marvel Legends by removing the BaF part, and often the figure and replace it with some old Toy Biz garbage. One of the more recent problems is the 50 dollar G1 Optimus reissue being returned with a 6 dollar, non transforming die cast vehicle in its place. I know a lot of people, hell probably most people, don't give a crap about Walmart "losing money" but when you're actually stealing from and screwing over your fellow fans, that's just pure shit.

I work at a Walmart and the marvel legends thing is a big issue. Recently people have been taking the UPC codes off of booster packs and legos and using them to make it look like they are ringing up bigger, more expensive items on the self checkout machines. It's very upsetting as a magic player and collector of all things nerdy, but management cant do much to stop it.

Something similar happened to me when I was a kid. My parents bought me a computer game as a gift for my birthday. When I opened it, there was no DVD inside. This was before steam or anything like that, so without the disc it was useless. Someone bought it, removed the DVD, then resealed it and returned it. I still remember how betrayed I felt.

People do this crap with all kinds of products. I once bought a 2TB SATA hard drive at Best Buy and when I got home and opened it, I found an old IDE drive in the box instead. I drove back to the store to do something about it. They were very skeptical of me. My saving grace was when we opened another box from the shelf right there at the customer service counter and it had the same thing. The third box from the shelf happened to have the proper drive.

When I first got back into collecting hockey cards I didn't know any of this sort of thing, and one day found that Walmart had booster boxes from (at the time) three previous seasons ago (2010) for 39.99. The rookie class had Taylor Hall, Tyler Seguin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Vladimir Tarasenko and several other extremely valuable cards so I thought why not and bought like 7 on pay day (like an absolute dummy). I found out later these were "redistributed" from a secondary source WITHOUT DISCLOSURE OF THIS after the distributor implemented certain measures to determine these boxes as completely worthless. And the combined value of the 14 autographed rookie pulls was a whopping 4 bucks...

When I was new to MTG, I unwittingly purchased something like this. Of course when I opened it, the culprit left the booster pack (ripped open like a pack of wolves ate it), took all the rares, and the promo card (I didn't know what that was at the time). However, I was smart enough to know that this wasn't right and took it back. Walmart refunded me, but could care less that someone tampered with the box. Didn't even question if it was me or not. I now buy from local card shops.

I never liked the idea of any big box store carrying specialty gaming products. It takes away from the LGS that actually build a community and causes shit like this cause the big box store doesnt give enough of a shit. Exception was ONE store, Toys R Us. Toys actually ran MTG/Pokemon/and YugiOh tournaments in their stores and fostered the community. Walmart/Target/and Amazon do nothing to actually expand the game, all they care about is the sale of the product and thats it.

We had 90 card totals, but it was 45 mountains and 45 island. I am not quite sure why someone would go through that much troubles.

This happened to me at walmart as well. I bought an Ezuri EDH deck that was filled with lands. Walmart has a strict policy in place that they do not return card games to prevent fraud, but most of the employees either don't know or don't care enough to enforce it. I was able to get my money back after I told the manager, but she nearly refused.

I had purchased a Teferi commander deck at Walmart thinking that I had gotten a lucky find. Opened it and found nothing but basic mountains from Khans block and some tissue to pad things down. I was lucky enough to be able to return it, though.

This happened to me with a commander deck from Walmart, they left the oversized card, and filled it with commons and lands from random sets. Weight seemed right, oversized card in the front, no shaking, no way to tell when I bought it. Couldn't do anything about it after.

Always will be a problem as the staff at the stores are not really taught how to deal with these things and are told "Just do the Return" The Vendors get pissed as they lost money now on that, Other employees who know better are pissed that they now are being told to "put it back out for sale", and customers are pissed that they are not sure if the product has been tampered with.

When I was at my LGS before I moved the store owner told me about some little kid who somehow obtained a fat pack from the local target and every packs rare was missing. There we’re literally just basic lands in the place of all the rares. The kid brought some of the packs in the the LGS and the owner saw it with his own eyes, crazy shit. I don’t play magic anymore but I look when I’m at target a lot and I’ve seen so many tampered with products, normally the mystery cubes it’s saf

When the first set of Commander decks released, this became a problem. Walmart as a big box store, I’d it looks like it is still sealed and sellable they’ll put it back on the shelf again after someone returns a tampered one. I work at an lgs, and when I first saw this happening it was really disheartening after someone came in and told me they got screwed.

So basically what I'm getting from all these videos, is that I'm glad I stopped playing MTG back in high school in 1996. Seem's the whole hobby has become scummy and filled with people including Hobby Store owners who steal from and rip people off. I prefer people scam me and rip me off to my face, like Games Workshop does when they want me to fork out 35 bucks for a squad of plastic figurines.

I bought a Mindsieze deck from them back when it was new and it was also a resealed with the True-Name Nemesis and all the other goodies missing. Luckily I worked there and they did return it for me and got AP involved to try and catch the people doing this. It sucks that people like this are out there, scamming not only the retailers, but other players as well.
