I know of somebody buying the Iron Man deluxe set with the awesome Nick Fury figure,  then returned it with ROC Ripcord put in the box.  I just waited until it was available at TRU for $21 and bought the box set.  If you can't afford the hobby and have to steal the stuff, I think it is time to reconsider your hobby.

Seems sensible right?

Unfortunately, the folks doing this are not sensible.
They actually think themselves quite clever because they pay for just ONE figure, and then they "cagily" return what they don't want so they can buy up what they do want with the refund.
They acquire a collection, and hence pursue a hobby for the cost of next to nothing.

And of course its wrong, and sooner or later they slip up and get caught.

( there's several legitimate ways to zero-cost a toy collection, and they take far less work and a LOT less guilt than swapping--but do these dummies ever think of that?  Nope, that is why they are stupid crooks)

Sucks that people repackage.  Funny that I have that figure and gun in bag given to me by a friend due to he knew his kids would just lose it and such and gave them to me since I like joes.
