Disney PLANES FIRE & RESCUE: Deer-Dear Swapper …
It looks like the swapping epidemic is spreading to Disney Stores …
“John H.” sends along photos of missing “Doe.”
Here’s what the box set should look like …

So, shop carefully.
Thanks, John H.
This is the other box set with Buck the Deer.

I still dont get it why swap? Disney store pack is cheaper than buying seperate mattel versions? For me here anyway in uk, this is £20 and then the singles are £7-8 each depending on store – so would be cheaper to buy this in forst place lol
Dirty dogs!
its a real shame that we share a hobby with folks that have absolutely zero class.
Yes, it was the rare Mattel Dynamite that caught our eye, not the missing deer.
We pointed the swapped set out to a salesperson and she immediately took it off the sales floor. It was really great to see a clerk understand the problem and take positive action. At other retailers we’d likely have gotten a shrug as a response.
And then as soon as you were gone, she put it right back out on the shelf! (at least that’s what happened to me at Target a couple of years ago)
Why would you switch a Mattel Dynamite with a DS Dynamite? The Mattel one looks a lot nicer and the scale is better.
looks like someone swapped out all of the rest also, they’re all way too small in that box. Mattel versions in a Disney box? Even the colors don’t match the picture below it

Yep, they are all “clean” — the DS ones have applied dirt and grime streaks, so this entire set has been lifted and replaced with Mattel toys.
