Toy Aisle Trolls is a feature highlighting acts of vandalism to in-store toy items. If you find a ruined package, a stolen figure, a swapped-out figure, or any other such acts, take a photo (cell phone photos are fine if they’re not blurry) and email them to poe AT poeghostal.com.
Poester Ero sends me this latest, mystifying example.
Says Ero:
Saw this the other day and have been meaning to send it. Note the price above. A generic figure retailing for $1.99, and you swap it for a Darth Maul?? I’m thinking the gas on a return trip to Target cost more than that figure.
Are we seeing a bizarre surge of reverse-trollage? Are these trolls modern-day Robin Hoods, taking crappy figures and replacing them with much better ones? What is going on around here?
Of course, this sort of thing is never legal. And I’m not going to be impressed unless I see, say, a DCSH Two-Face and Catwoman in the Walmart 5-pack, or something like that. But still…weird.
