    I went today and had the same experience as you. I'll try again in a couple of weeks.

        The legs can just be pulled off without needing hot water or a hair dryer. Actually, it's best to swap both of the legs, because the way they're assembled at the factory makes them unable to kneel or bend their knees in the correct direction. The cutouts on the leg bones are wrong. By swapping the left leg for right, and swapping the feet, the knee will be able to bend correctly, almost 90 degrees.

            right, they are on backwards. Didn't know that was across all of them, I thought I just got a goof up

                I was ready with your barcode if needed but I was lucky and found some! You never know though. They had a lot of fun Skeleton stuff. I picked up one and am happy. It took me a little hile to figure out how it moves but very posable and fun! For $5 a fantastic deal and your ready for Halloween!

                    Mine had a raptor type dinosaur skeleton. Not terrible but the joints were a bit loose.

                            I've now tried 3 Big Lots regionally and none of them have these. Will see if I can find any Big Lots next week when in New England visiting my mom and see if I have any luck out that way. The Big Lots online Halloween store doesn't have them listed either.

                                If I don't find some in my travels, I may take you up on it. I leave Saturday and won't be back until Labor Day weekend, so I will let you know when I get back. Either way, the offer is appreciated.
