Well, today at Wal-mart the issue was the return of an MB Blok Bots Spy set.
This is a $13 item that was missing parts -- I can't imagine why they had to
give me grief about it.
You'd be surprised how often MB sets are gone through for certain elements.
It makes me mad on three levels now: the first is that someone steals the
elements that make the set interesting in the first place; the second is
that most stores in my area do not clearance an open set (which might make
it worth buying if the price is right -- never happens!), and now the third
is that a buyer could get burned if s/he is foolish enough to buy such an
opened set in good faith.
Bad PR for sure...
