From my perspective and although I DO NOT condone re-packing, Hasbro is in part to blame for this. So many toy companies use this strategy to where they bundle up a bunch of items that are "Ok" at best and sometimes even horrible with something and in most cases just one of what you and everyones mother was looking for and ONLY wanted in the first place in an attempt to try to get you to buy the WHOLE pack.
They do the same thing with the Comic Packs. How many times have we seen a New/Sought after figure along side a re-painted or unwanted one. Aside from things like E-bay and the Tank you either buy it as is or are Shit out of luck. Hasbro itself makes NO alternatives for the buyer to buy it as a single.
So as a result...re-packing occurs. It's not really that far-fetched of a concept when you think about the reasons to why people do it. I can guarantee you that if the "New" or Highly Sought after figures were just packed as singles from the get go you'd see a lot less re-packing.
