Walmart Pack Scam
Economics forum

I bought a couple packs from Walmart last night. They were in the outer cardboard packaging and looked like normal packs. When I opened them, they were nothing but basic lands from different sets. Has anyone else seen this? Is it worth it to complain to Wizards or Walmart?

Yea, I've seen it done in a similar way as a prank. My old boss bought a pack and did the same thing as part of a gift for a coworker. I was amazed at how well he repackaged them. I couldn't tell anything was up by watching the pack being opened. Likely someone had just done this at Walmart, or brought them back after having done it. But it's definitely a Walmart issue at that point.

Something similar happened to me once at Target. I brought it back and they immediately exchanged it for a new pack, no questions asked.

Never had that, but have seen people take packs out of the cardboard and put the empty cardboard back on the hanger

Complain to Walmart, those packs were most likely opened up and repacked by some jerk, and returned to Walmart who put it back on the shelf. It's not Wizards' fault, they didn't sell the defective pack.
