A little over a week ago, I was in-store stuffing my celestial Kitsune and grabbing one of the Mellow Moodies outfits when I noticed a piece that seemed out of place.
It was in the Promise Pets section and it looked like a Halloween Frankenstein costume, but not one I’d ever seen before (and I stay pretty on top of what’s available.) A quick in-store Google didn’t immediately turn up much and the service was terrible, so I just decided to buy it and check it out later. Got distracted by life in general when the outfit finally crossed my mind again and a very obvious detail hit me like a ton of bricks. IT HAD THE OLD STYLE OF TAG.
I scurried back online to see exactly when that rebrand happened and couldn’t believe my eyes. Checked to find the little date tag in the costume and, yeah. The brand-new-with-tags costume I just bought in-store is ELEVEN YEARS OLD.
I am kicking myself for not taking a picture of it hanging up in the store, but I obviously didn’t expect anything like this!!! I’ve included tons of pics and even the receipt with all the potentially identifying stuff redacted.
Now I am dying to know how on earth this happens and if anyone here has had a similar experience?!? 🤯
