The Ol' Figure Swap Continues Posted by Curto on August 23, 2008 at 08:41 AM CST:
Swappers strike again! No, this isn't a super-rare version that will have fans drooling...it's just the latest example of the ol' figure swap that has plagued collectors in recent years. In this latest example, found by Mark Walker, someone swapped out the R2-D2 figure from the Droid Factory Luke Skywalker & R2-D2 has been swapped out for a beat-up Vintage R2-D2 that doesn't even include the sticker! For more examples of this, check out our special report. Just beware of what you're buying in the stores, and make sure you are paying for the correct toys.
