I stopped at TRU today . They had put out the new Hobby set cars . Almost every one had been sliced open by the accessory item , & they had been stolen !! Unbelievable someone stealing the little trinket included with the car !! At least the cars were undamaged ... But whos gonna buy them now - unless they get discounted ...

Wierd... you have to wonder what kind of mentality would do something like that..

Keep an I on ebay and see if they show up

Sounds like an inside job to me. Gotta watch those stockers and early cleaning crew.

It's sad to hear this happened.

Things like this make diecast collectors look bad.

Keep an I on ebay and see if they show up

WHO KNOWS THEY MAY SHOW UP ON THIS BOARD

I saw the same thing in New Jersey today, the only one left on the shelf, though.

Humph... Seems like the bar gets lowered again on what idiots will take...

no doubt its the same idiots that open all the mystery cars,I've seen a couple hundred of those in the past few weeks,its really sick that they have slipped to that level

I cant believe people are willing to go to jail over little plastic pieces. Why dont you just buy the cars w/ the items, and just sell the cars.

This took longer to show up than I thought.
I'm really not at all surprised.
Damn Jerks!

With all the collectors / resellers in my area ( I rarely find chase cars , & lots of reg stuff is always gone too ) , I have never found anyone on ebay, selling from Racine . Although many dont list what city they are from .
I sell on ebay occaisionally . Mostly car parts & recently some of my older model kits & some diecast ..

If you weren't so far away I'd of thought it was some of the jerks around me!!

That has to take some time they are a sucker to get out when your AT YOUR HOUSE & open the car by cutting around the whole blister. Thats y i said from DAY 1 the accessories were anounced that it should be a stand alone 12 piece set on their own blister. I orderd a master case of them Just for the accessories if anyone wants some of the loose cars at a reduced cost.

the only thing ive noticed wrong in this thread is calling these MORONS that do this collectors
