Another Instance Of Theft With Old Product. It Just Doesn't Make Sense.

I don't think this guy pulled the wool over any ones eyes with this switchout, but see this act of theft that JTA moderator Bombadgungan came across at his local Fred Meyer. Click through for more.

Hey Paul,

I wanted to share with you a sad case of swap 'n' return that I found at a local Fred Meyer today. I honestly do not come across this kind of thing very often, but this is a store I rarely shop at in a "less desirable" part of town. The sad thing is, this TVC TPM Obi-Wan could have been found at various stores around town on deep discount for as low as $2.50 over the past year. Really, how cheap can some people be? Oh, by the way, the figure really was THAT yellowed.

Another bit of news for those who shop Fred Meyer. Up until visiting this store today, I have not seen TBS 3.75" at any other Fred Meyer before now. Most locations are still stocked up pretty good on Vintage TPM, so I really had my doubts as to whether or not they were even going to carry the TBS 3.75" line. This is potentially good news, as Christmas shopping may actually clear enough pegs that we will see TBS Wave 2 or 3 at this retailer in the new year. Or maybe even post-TPM TVC waves! :)
