    A good reminder not to purchase figures without a window from brick and mortar retail if you aren’t willing to risk not being able to get a refund. Unless it’s pulled from a case in the back, I’m not touching boxed figures.

    Order it online and know some lowlife trash hasn’t had the chance to tamper with it.

    While it doesn't look like they enforce it judging by all the repacks we see here, Target's return policy online does say,
    • Open or defective collectibles (e.g., sports cards, special edition Barbie dolls, porcelain dolls, action figures and die-cast cars) cannot be returned.

    It makes even less sense considering that Target already accepted it at least once as a return. o_O

    I returned an Arcee with two left feet months ago. Not only did they take it back after I opened it but the 2 kids behind the register were like "Really?!" & opened it up to check. Saw that same figure on the shelf weeks later

    Clearly he should have taken it back to WalMart.

    That policy is actually only supposed to apply to the stuff in what we call the "neca aisle" on the wall behind electronics. However, I just got a Neca Beetlejuice where the arm wasn't connected to the body at all (the peg snapped in the box) and they took it back without even glancing at the toy.

    Apparently even after pointing this one out to customer service someone at Target still thought it should be restocked and has shown up twice in sightings now…
    There’s a special place in Hell for people who do this.

    If he has his accessories that's technically a bargain.

    The funny thing is perceptor alone is about the same cost as the pack, so whoever buys this is actually getting a decent deal
