Hey gents,

Here in Albuquerque, I figured out that we have one store among 7 which no longer sells MU figures. I had an inkling that this was true when I found a Bucky and a modern Havoc in their clearance section a few weeks ago, both for $4 or less.

Anyway, I have a Walmart next door which has had torn and clearanced peg-warmers hanging up there for 6+ weeks. And when I took the torn package to the front to customer service, and found it back on the pegs UNCHANGED the next day, I decided to experiment.

I bought all of the undamaged peg-warmers on a credit card and took them down to the clearanced store to see what would happen if I tried to return them there. I figured at worst they'd only return the figures at the in-store prices, and I'd just take them back to my local one with that knowledge in the future.

Well, they accepted the return of 7 figures and gave me all of my money back. (Though I had to correct them when they used the wrong price on one by mistake). They had to change the price in their register from the in-store price ($2) to the receipt price, but they did so without batting an eye. I found it interesting, since they no longer had any space to put them up.

The next day, I popped by just to see where those 7 would end up. There they were, right up on the Captain America 3.75" pegs in front of the remaining figures. There were no reduced prices on them, and no indication that they'd be any different than the peg price (full 7.99 or whatever). I grabbed a Union Jack and checked his in-store price at a scanner around the corner. It came up as $2. So I took it up to the register and paid $2.16 for a figure I didn't really care about that I had previously bought and returned for $7.99.

So I don't know how this fits with all of your morals, but this has been verified to work. You do risk whatever figures you do this with being nabbed up until you get back there. Two of the 7 were gone by the time I got there, possibly not put back in the same place?

And I left the rest of the figures I returned, since I didn't really want them anyway.
