Does this mean stores will now be on the look out for toy swappers?

Hilarious.

Whenever I hear these stories, or see packages in stores with missing contents, I'm always wondering where these people do this stuff. I can't go two minutes in a TRU without being checked on. There's always kids and parents running around.. where do you sit and do this? It's not like pulling figures out of plastic bubbles, or moving Legos around, is a silent act.

Not really about toys themselves, so moved to GD.

As for the topic, I love how he still tried to use the Rewards card all the while he was ripping off TRU.

If he had just bought the items and turned around and sold them at a higher price he would have turned a profit. This idiot, and his mother, just got greedy.

Well shit, I just posted about this in the swapper thread. I agree that it would seem unlikely that they could pull this off, I too am pestered like crazy anytime I walk into a TRU. This kind of explains why though...... and how did they afford to travel so extensively? I mean Hawaii? This is one crazy story.
