(5 Pics)
Today I just did a mini haul after visiting Walmart looking for that mini JW spino that ... is biting the jackal in the first photo XD. but ... there is a weird story that I will share with you about this purchase.
I think I have not been the only one who sometimes goes to a store with MCX things and sometimes you find some opened bags or sets, right?
Well, today I was curious that the Walmart people did with this problem, which an employee of the toy area asked him and he told me that as if they are blind bags or heroes because they are literally "cheap" because they get rid of them if it comes to pass this.
Why did I ask the question?
Because today I found not 1 ..... 3 open bags of series 2 of infinite which is something that I have begun to notice a lot, that there are many now who are beginning to try to open boxes and bags and they steal something or They leave everything thrown away which disappoints me to know that there are people like that but well ... that's life.
The parts were scattered around the boxes of blind bags and heroes boxes (which by the way the GOT heroes arrived but there were no Drogon's) and I thought to ask if I could take the figures with some discount since some of these were incomplete. The employee told me that the only thing he could do was take all 3 and that one of these would be free. Which I paid 3 figures for the price of 2 since I could not find the third bag that was open.
This is something that I have already done for years which has benefited me sometimes in that things are a little cheaper and I can use these incomplete sets for customs or I can complete the set by ordering the parts for customer service. Some examples were the Spartan Armor customizer pack (I made a post about this in a haul months ago), some things were missing but those of the consumer service were good and they sent me what I was missing, even they sent the instructions which also did not come on that set. I like to do this as it is a cheap way to get things from MCX and that employees do not have to get rid of something that could actually be used.
Which is not a crime since I checked with an employee and paid for the product (just to clarify if someone didn't like what I did here).
Returning to the haul, the figs are from wave 2 from infinite blind bags as I said, I was lucky to have a banished Jackal which I was looking for at least one jackal to know how this new mold is and I have to say it looks like a spaghetti of how thin that it is XD. The jackal was missing a knee brace and shield from him which was a bit sad but not something that affects much. I already gave him a replacement knee brace from an elite banished (battle for the ark series) which looks a little better.
The grunt was the luckiest as there were no missing pieces which is a new grunt for the Gruntarmada (i love this new grunts !!)
And the Spartan Anubis ... it is my first Anubis that I have although it had ... some problems, the strangest is that his bag looked as if a dog had bitten it multiple times XD. The other is that a piece of armor was missing (although maybe it was lost in one of the boxes) and one was crushed although I think that maybe the latter was when trying to open it because maybe they stepped on it or something and it broke. At first when I was talking to the employee I thought that this figure was missing half of the pieces since it felt very empty but I was wrong.
So far with the Anubis I have plans to give him pieces of armor like I did with the Jackal, which are pieces that I had left over from customs. The changes in my opinion give these figures a bit of personality and I already have a bit of an idea with the Anubis with a story (beware, Echo may be involved in that story).
I hope you guys like this new mini haul and be safe at home.
