- Hello friends. Please share this video with people in the hobby that you know.
I wanted to share my recent order experience with the community and really hope this video reaches more eyes than my box opening videos, as this is important to us all.
On Walmart, at 2:01AM on 9/12/2024, GT Collectibles had some Optic football blasters go live on Walmart.com and I got an order of 4 in. The package arrived earlier today, and 3 of the 4 blaster boxes show many signs that they have been previously opened and repackaged.
First: The outer cellophane wrapping not only has the original factory seams, but also a much thicker seam from the repackaging.
Second: The actual boxes, underneath the cellophane, have knife or razor cuts down the sides. This is where someone has cut off the original
wrapping, but also cut the underlying box.
Third: The repackaged cellophane is loose (unlike ANY of the previous blaster boxes I’ve received from Walmart, Target, or Barnes and Noble.)
I believe that the 3 suspect boxes have been opened and gone through (to remove any good packs), and then any remaining packs were stuck back into the used boxes. Then, I believe they used some cellophane wrapping from an opened mega box was used to repackage the box to see off to us as “new”. I don’t need to say how unethical this is. It’s pretty apparent.
I immediately wrote to GT Collectibles and Toys on Walmart and explained what I see. I’m waiting for them to respond, but this really destroys any trust I’ve had for them built from previous orders.
I will make an update video when I get a response from GT, and keep you all informed so you can be wary.
Thank you all, as usual, for watching my video. You guys are the bomb. Have an awesome weekend.

Irasshaimase, brother (I hope I used the correct term). I really appreciate you taking a chance on me with a subscribe. Thank you much.
@@breakinballersI made a shoutout for you
I saw that and want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, bro. That's such a generous thing for you to do and folks like you keep my faith in the world strong. Big thanks, my brother.
Hello! New sub sent over from Godisgreat! I agree with you on that. Looks sus!
Thanks 🙏
Hey Joel, thank you so much, my brother. I appreciate that to no end.
I did get resolution through Walmart, but after 3 messages to the GT ding dongs, no reply. Some people are knuckleheads. ha ha.
Thanks again man.
@@breakinballers Glad you got it resolved!

Hey Dav3, man -Thank you bro. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you and godisgreat for the kindness. Love seeing that support in the community.
GT collectibles is actually MJ Holdings retail selling subsidiary. They are a distributor that has to sell to Walmart and Target at wholesale but they sell at retail or above through GT collectibles. They are legit and I have never had an issue but I have seen plenty of issues like yours. I have a feeling that some of the employees might be doing shady stuff but the company in general is a legit seller. They make them mystery box packages that are sold at retail so they do break open products and that is where the employees have access to messing with stuff, stealing out cards maybe and resealing stuff.
I do like to try and think the best of people. I just wish they would have responded to any of my 3 attempts to contact them (one by a Walmart rep).
I really don't know why that happened, but Walmart took care of me, facilitating the return of the repackaged boxes. I just hope GT didn't just sell them off, again, to another customer.
Thank you a whole bunch for watching my little vid and chiming in. I really appreciate the engagement. Have an awesome day.
I suspect these were damaged blasters they rewrapped since someone has mentioned GT is owned by MJ Holdings. If that’s the case they should’ve been up front about it in their description. Personally I’d rather buy the box with the original plastic torn than a rewrap.
Yeah brother, it was a weird situation. If they had responded to any of my communication attempts, and said that -I'd have felt more comfortable about them. Wish I could talk to whomever ended up (re)buying those that I sent back. It'd be awesome if there were something nice inside.
Hey, thank you for chiming in. I appreciate you.
Happened to me to Bro
Just subbed u up buddy from 2 balls
Wow, thank you most definitely, brother. I appreciate that so much.
I always tell people to make unboxing videos, regardless of if you plan to put them on RUclips or not, it's your proof against the company if they are doing shady and/or dishonest stuff. I hope you got your refund or replacement. I am gambling a bit on them myself for a $60 Pokémon Pre-order that you can't get anywhere at all, without paying 2.5 times the MSRP from scalpers. I've seen the reviews that people leave about the seller, their some good but there are some bad ones that claim the same thing as in this video. I've also seen other videos that people test the claims of being scammers/repacked resellers and they get factory sealed flawless product. Hopefully my order is factory sealed and untampered with, it's all that I really want.
This is very true. It's hard to have any recourse without the proof. Luckily, Walmart had my back and got me squared away on the refund.
Thank you for dropping in and checking out the vid. Have a great year, my friend.
Hey, what’s up dude new sub two balls are better than one sent us
Thank you, my brother. Thank you so much, He seems like really good folk as well as good for the community. I appreciate you taking that chance on my channel.
How is it going my friend
Hello I’m a new friend to your channel, God is Great sent me here❤
Living, you are awesome. Thank you and God is Great for your kindness. Have the best of days.
Thanks
I ordered 11 only got 8 and had the same issue
No way. Man, it sounds like they got you with a double whammy. Did you send them back?
That is super suspicious
Walmart took care of me, but GT hasn't replied after 3 messages.
They must just be busy with the repackaging. ha ha.
So should I cancel my order?
No, Walmart helped me get the 3 repackaged blasters sent back for a refund, and I kept the one that was still factory sealed. My friendly recommendation would be to keep your order, but check the blasters when they arrive. That way, you won't miss out if what they send you is all good, new product.
What did you get
Oh man, I got a lot.
First, I got angry. Then, when I wrote to GT I got ignored. I called Walmart the first time and got the run around. Then, I called back and spoke to someone from whom I got assistance. They set up a return for the 3 repackaged blasters and I got labels. So then, I got them taken out to Fedex.
Next, i hope to get a refund. heh heh.
Those guys did such a terrible job of trying to repackage those blasters that I just think this whole thing is funny.
What did you end hp getting?
Justice. : )
@@breakinballers did they let you keep them?
@@Cardboardkillerz Nah, I wouldn't even want to see what's in them. I did keep the one that wasn't previously opened. Haven't busted it open yet. Might do that in an an upcoming video, along with a couple megas from Target that look like Joe Rogan kicked them. Didn't get refunded for that one, but I'm made whole so I'm good with the outcome.
That's some bullshit
Yeah, I have faith that Walmart will help me get to a fair resolution here. Stay tuned.
