It's not ingenious. It's not just douche-baggy, it's illegal.

 

It's called ticket switching, and it is illegal.

 

It be funny if someone did get arrested because they just have to have the toy a couple of weeks early than everyone else...

 

Yeah try explaining THAT in a cell full of gang members...

 

Chewie : So wat' ya in fo ???

 

Transfan : Uuummmm...

^

 

Transfan: I bought a Transformer's toy before the street date.

 

Chewie: Tha' be some hardco' shit, man!

Doing that also ensures you won't get wave 2, as the system's inventory will read they still have a ton of ROTF toys, and thus won't ship the next wave until they are sold...but they can't sell them because they don't exist.

 

You'd have to wait for inventory to correct that.

I got mine from Walmart under generic sku's.

Additionally the self checkout lanes often times will take expired coupons long after the experation date, so if you have a photocopy of a Transformers Animated $5 off coupon for purchases over $20, you can use it at a Walmart self-checkout lane and get your ROTF Voyagers cheap.

This also makes it impossible to return your merchandise in case it's defective, as your reciept will read that it's a Universe or Animated Voyager.

 

Of course I've done all sorta of bad things to Walmarts stores, like when Alternators went on sale for half price at one Walmart, but were full prices at another. The half price store only had 4 Skids left, while the full price store had Mirage, Optimus Prime, Prowl, etc. So I bought them all at full price, and returned them to the half price store, and got my $60 back, they re-purchased them off the shelf at half price the next day.

Also illegal!

Not impossible at all. Buy another one, use it's receipt and take back the defective one. (It's shitty, no?)

 

And it creates more problems. Some poor kid, or other collector will most likely end up with a defective TF and have nothing to about it because you helped take the last of the good ones, and they won't order any more because the inventory's screwed up.

 

So we're really taking it without Vaseline everytime some douchebag prick circumvents the STORE'S POLICY.

 

Thanks, fucktards.

Exactamundo.

Just saying it works, and walmarts sends in the coupons in anyways and get's it $5 from Hasbro for them.

Wally seems to be real inconsistent about where they have self checkout. One scenario I have seen that's consistent with them is that NONE of their Supercenters (at least around here) have self checkout. That's just flat silly (based on them not putting self checkout in their grocery themed stores) because Safeway/Vons has self checkout and I love it.

 

There's one Wal-Mart in my town that does have them, and two (that I know of) that don't. It's frikking lovely.
