A blog about action figures and the toy industry in general by writer and collector Poe Ghostal.

Toy Aisle Trolls > Why Pod?

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. Also, please note: I’m deliberately being over-the-top with my condemnation of these people–I don’t actually wish bodily harm upon them. Just severe mental anguish.

Resident crazyman Doc Thomas checks in with this piece of douchebaggery:

I was checking the local Target here looking at the Toy Story 3 toys and came across this – someone stole the “Peas in a Pod” from the three-pack leaving it as only a two-pack. Particularly scummy since you can’t get the Peas by themselves, unlike the Pricklepants or the Woody, but this worked out ok for me after all as Target had discounted the “damaged stock” allowing me to buy the Pricklepants I wanted so dearly for less than the single-pack price, and with a free Woody! It’s not every day I get a free Woody.

Indeed, Doc.

To the jackhole who did this: you can start your quest for redemption by quitting your habit of self-loving to nude fanart of E.T. Because dude, that’s just wrong.

    I can see someone stealing the Woody, but the peas in a pod is kind of out there.

    Reminds me of a certain clip featuring E.T. recently posted over at Topless Robot. šŸ˜‰

    I thought the peas were a free gift to SDCC attendees….

    Seriously, anyone?

    A chuckle perhaps?

    You know, maybe Mattel pays their reps to remove parts from figures so that people who buy the figures early are rewarded?

    Ok, maybe that joke is getting a little old now…. šŸ˜‰
