Some people get really really mad about it, but I think it's hilarious. It's not like any of this stuff is actually "rare"

It's theft, Roland.

Plain and simple.

Oh I get it. Swapping a toy is the exact same as knocking over a 7-11 or defrauding investors out of billions of dollars through extremely lenient regulatory commisions!

Yes.

It screws over retailers who won't be able to sell the product. Or if an unsuspecting parent buys the toy... the kid is screwed over because he's got a broken Stinger with an old Cobra Officer with broken thumbs and a broken crotch instead of the Steel Crusher, as is the parent who bought the swapped toy.

Theft is theft.

I agree with you there jay . plus not to mention the crafty guys on ebay selling the ROC line with repacks figures as fresh from case I got it this way figures and getting 90$ a pop for them !! case in point there was a ROC shipwreck repack on ebay recently sold for 95$ it had a shipwreck with a obiwan head and non of the proper weapons or accessorizes !!

I was pissed. __________________ My Collections http://www.flickr.com/photos/22356329@N03/sets/

Its still wrong but retailers don't get screwed its the common joe fan that gets screwed. Maybe hasbro should repackage all the 5 figure sets separately since most of us want just one fig out of it any ways. I do agree with roland its not larceny or grand theft its not like you held the people up. It costs hasbro nothing to produce figures the cost is usually in the making the molds then after that the produce hundreds of pieces in minutes for cents to sell them for 9 bucks a pop. No one ever really wins in this game called life unless you play unfair. Just giving my two cents since I was a retail manager for 8 years and my dad is a mold maker. hopefully I don't piss anyone off with my opinion.

cheers DD
