Strangest 3-pack mess up ever!! [CLOSED]

#1 Posted: 05:37:38 06/12/2012 | Topic Creator
Ok, so I was at Walmart and I happened to be looking at a Sprocket 3-Pack. But Sprocket wasn't in there. Strangely instead of Sprocket it was LEGENDARY CHOP CHOP??!?!? I know your going to ask for pictures, buti forgot my phone at home. But I am telling the truth 100%. But, what I find odd is, why that figure, a TRU exclusive is in a giants three pack at Walmart.

could happen, a possibility is that it was a return where somebody swapped the character. I saw something similar last year with a starter pack that had Hex and Boomer in it. It could have just been someone with a double that didnt wanna pay for one they wanted

Sure, the "I forgot my phone at home" story.

What I find funny is all these stories where people "see" these exceptionally rare items, yet just leave them there. Did you forget your wallet too?

$25 and it would be worth WAY more than that IF it were true, but alas, it is not.

^I wasn't talking about your story. It'd be easy to swap those out like that, but if he's talking about a factory error, and not a return, then no way.

maybe somebody sealed it back up? It's possible. I just find it unlikely that that would be a factory error. If it was another giants skylanders sure. But a series 1? and a legendary none the less? If it is true then my theory is more likely. Just my opinion though lol

NOT that hard to believe... If they got boxed in the same factory it would be easy for this error to occur and get sent into Walmart shipments. Either way no deal at all because now these production errors are ludicrously common.

Well, I saw a Starter pack with Drobot and. Double Trouble replacing GITD Cynder and Punch Fizz. Most likely a scalper trying to get them the easiest, scammiest way possible.

I'll accept the risk of believing that one because the replaced items were of significant lesser value. L-chop used to a replace a sprocket? Seems unlikely from a collector or scalper stand point. S2 cynder replacing anything? Then you know what happened lol

I was at the supermarket today, and I saw a YELLOW Tree Rex in a Swarm box, but instead of Tree Rex's arm, it had Crusher's mallet, but Crusher's mallet had pink spots on it. I did take a picture with my 'phone but I accidentally shut my 'phone in the car door and it broke in two. I did take a photo of the 'phone with my camera to prove it, but then a bird stole it. HONEST smilie

And, did I mention that my dad didn't buy it for me since he thought I already have her?

I don't think that that's true, but if it is, I live at 52 degrees North, and 52 degrees West, and want to watch the picture!!!

These finds are nothing. Back at a Target I found a LC sunglasses wearing Hot Dog in a S1 Wham-Shell box but with Flashwing's name and colored purple, he was in the Undead Element, and instead of his normal powers, his primary attack was Gangnam Style, his secondary attack had him shooting buttered toast, and his third attack had him breathe fire like Spyro when I previewed him, and it called him "Screwy" Hot Dog! I wish I could tape it but Wrecking Ball ate my camera, Diamon Tiara stole my wallet, and the Eds sold my iPhone on Ebay, honest! And when I came back to buy it the employees told me that aliens from Neptune took it to their planet!

Although stuff does get messed up. I mean it is a factory things are bound to get labeled wrong. Or get the wrong back thrown on them.

Yeah. 52 is excluded. Sorry. I have the new iPhone 6, and you can watch pictures on it. I would've taken a picture with my new Samsung Galaxy s4 but when the government found out that that phone was in use, they took it away.

I found the rarest Skylander today!
It was a Hot Head, that was Orange! He also had Tree Rex's arm's, and Swarm's wings! Not to mention he was in a Legendary Bouncer box!

I would have taken pictures, but when I took out my phone, someone stole the toy, and destroyed my phone!

Honestly, this is the truth!

Glad to hear it ;-)

And yeah, I speak fluent bird. I am actually a bird myself but I couldn't fly after him because I'm an ostrich. But I also can speak English as well so that's why I post in English on the forum and not in bird.

I think the bird definitely did me a favour because I actually crafted my camera out of a cereal box and a telescope. Now I can claim some insurance money for theft and buy myself a proper camera!

$25 and it would be worth WAY more than that IF it were true, but alas, it is not.

The "phone at home" story is actually legit for me, since I hate phones with the burning passion of a thousand suns and I always leave it at home.

Honestly 100% True Story:

I went to TRU and I saw a loose Scarlet Ninjini in a Sprocket Box! In one hand it was holding a wrench, and in the other: an anchor! My wallet got stolen on the way here, and my dog licked my phone and peed on it! Then she hit it with a hammer on accident smilie! After this some 4 year old kicked me and stole it!
