So, I was at Target today and they had some of the TNA figures on clearence for $3.88 (But I ended up buying 2 and they had actually been lowered even farther down to $1.98). But I was looking at the WWE figures and noticed that one of the boxes was taped up. It was a Randy Orton figure from the Deluxe Aggression 5 series. But I looked closer and realized that inside was an AJ Styles figure and NOT in fact Mr. Orton. So im guessing the box got opened and the Orton figure taken and a Target employee just tossed AJ in the box and taped it back up. Whoever did it did an excellent job of taping everything back together though and if you werent looking closely, you wouldnt even noticed it was AJ in the box and not Randy Orton.

Finally, the Orton figure gets workrate. ;D and loses charisma, not that Orton is super charismatic or anything but AJ is more boring than a giant drill

Striker and Moolah are the current shelfwarmers around here, I guess the WWE misjudged how many 12 year old boys wanted to buy a figure of a wrinly 60 year old woman.

I still run into a bunch of Eric Bischoff figures at the local toy stores. Also, Superstar Billy Grahams and Bam Bam Bigelows.

Unless you mean on the mic or something, in which case I'll agree.

It was probably the person who took the Randy Orton that put the Styles in its place for the very reason most people wouldn't notice. I don't know many employees who'd have a loose AJ Styles fig that they'll use for no reason.

someone probably bought the Styles for 2 bucks on clearance and paid full price (10 or 11 bucks) fo r the Orton and did a tape job to put the Styles in the Orton box.

It's possible that maybe somebody bought the Orton figure then returned it with the cheaper Styles figure inside. A lot of action figure collectors will do that so they not only get the figure they want but they technically get it for free because they get a refund. There have been a lot of cases of this happening with Star Wars and G.I. JOE figures I know.

I hate the Billy Grahams, my TRU has stop carrying CS figs because when those came out, they stocked like 3 thousand of those horrific things for whatever reason, so they havent had any CS there since like CS9. really gay.

Yeah I don't have a Toys 'R' Us in my town anymore so I was looking forward to finding some cool WWE Classic figures at the Toys 'R' Us in the town I was visiting and all they had was the Pink Suited Billy Grahm figures. Such disapointed. And yes itl ooked like they had about 3,000 of them as they were overstuffed on the pegs.
