It got me thinking about the toys I've noticed missing stuff over the years. Looking back, some (maybe all) were obviously repacks done by someone hunting for parts. Like the Baron Zemo I saw last year who was missing his belt and boot cuffs. Or the Grim Reaper I spied recently with white Punisher boots. There was also a webgear-less Cobra trooper in a 50th Viper's pit set that I assumed was a QC issue at the time. I think Beachhead was missing its submachine gun too. In addition, I've bought a couple of vehicles in the past that were missing parts and decals and such...probably the work of the same one or two customizers. Now it looks like they've graduated from buying something and stealing/repacking/resealing shit in the comfort of their own home to just taking what they want right there in the store.
Honestly, sometimes I really want to do this but I just can't bring myself to doing that. That's why my B/S/T always has parts of figures and vehicles in it.
