Name that swapped figure...
 

The title says it all, as much as a lot of us have seen and posted swap characters, I figure why not make a game out of it:p
Name that swapped figure...

Let's see..Whiplash for Mandarin in the first. Spiderman for Jean Grey, comic pack Sinister for boxset one, Silver Surfer for Iceman, comic pack Cyclops for boxset one, and the most horrendous of all...Iron Man for Angel? So what'd I win?;) Oh repacked figures right?:rolleyes:

You got it!! At least they were Marvel figures:p

It's teling that they did not swap Frankenberry there...

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha. I honestly love it when people do this.

That's the second time I've seen someone swap in a Sea Assault Drone. Why would someone do that? Anyway, the swapper on that X-Men pack has brass balls.

Hahahahahahahaaha awesomeness!!! Im telling you repacks are going to be the new hot items!! Think of the endless possibilities for variants!!! Has anyone got the cantina Alien Gigantic Battle pack to repost here??? I NEVER get tired of seeing that!!!

I think for CHristmas I'll tell various Arkers I got them whatever the hard to find figure is and send them a swapped out 3.75" Cantina Alien on the MU card.
I just gotta find that set cheap enough...

Maybe once I get the figs, I'll make a bunch of pics of MU teams in action with a characters swapped- like having a Cantina alien with Cap's shield, leading the Avengers...

What is so special about Cantina aliens?
And by the way I have the tin box they made a few years ago with the four of them in it! :D

The first "Cantina Swap" we posted about was a 12" Cantina Alien swapped for a GIgantic Battles Frost Giant and returned- someone found it on a shelf and snapped a pic.

Thus the legend began....and the swapping has gotten more blatant from there.
Just once I'd love to see some weasal (loudly) get busted at the returns desk by someone with a clue.

Here's a good one:

This is just funny as hell though

There was a post some time back on another site about a guy at Target that busted a dude trying to do that. He was standing behind the guy and noticed it was swapped out. Cops got called and everything after a scene was made.

YES!!!! Thanks DFD!!!! You know what???? I still think i'd buy that if i saw it on a shelf somewhere!!! (Though i would try to get the price knocked down!!!) Hey Jason,why not work the other way,and put a Wolverine or Spiderman on a SW card??

People went bananas over this one on the Tank, claiming Short Fuze is a $50 figure and so on.

This is such a SHITTY thing to do, but it does turn in to internet gold! They are always hilarious...I remember I was huting one time, and my buddy pointed out a trevor fitzroy from the 90's line ina new pack, we couldnt stop laughing!

Yup

I went to go pick it back up because I had three different people tell me they each wanted one of the figures but by the time I got back there it was gone.

They same d-bag that did it probably saw the post and went back and bought it!

why would somebody pack in the Navy drone? Those were htf

If I had known this was a thing I would have taken a picture of a DCU Batman that was put in an Atom package sitting at Walmart. I went back the next day and it was gone.

I don't always see repacks, but when I do, I think it's awesome:

MIAMI (AP) — A mother and son stole more than $2 million in expensive toys by stashing them inside the boxes of cheaper products that they bought at Toys R Us stores across the U.S., authorities say.

Does Florida have the death penalty? :haha

Yes, they do XD.

It was just a bunch of leapfrog laptops & Lego sets that they stole, not really repackers since they never brought any of the stuff back. But, I really hate repackers.

It is interesting that they were busted because the guy tried to get rewards on all the crap they were buying in addition to packing that stuff full of other items they weren't paying for. If he hadn't used the rewards card on his purchases, I wonder how long it would have been before he got caught.

Well, that was pretty clever, I'll give them that.
