So what/who are worst?
a: Repackers- buy it and then return it with something else b: Cheapskates- for example buy CS Snake-Eyes @ Walgreens for $11.99 and then make a return with a Neo-Viper. c: Old fashion thief- you find just the cardback, figure and/or accessories are stolen. |

I would shoot them in the following order.
1. Thieves, cuz they just take the crap and no consideration. 2. Repackers next only because some of their dandy work is able to provide me a good laugh every once in a while.

I would say repacker because it is the only case where the crime affects 2 entities, the store they steal from and the poor sap that ends up buying something they probably did not intend to.

It's all the same, it's stealing.

Repacker and thief are one in the same. There is no difference. If you buy something, take a part of it out and return it for your money back, that's stealing. I don't care if you replace the City Strike Snake Eyes in the Target 4-pack with Yellow Stalker (the one I saw was replaced with "O" faced Duke but that's neither here nor there) you stole it. Plain and simple, there is no gray area here.

Theif
What about the other bad guys though - scalpers They'll buy up whole pegs at a time then re-sale them at toy shows, etc. for example, $15 for a new 3 3/4 figure. Those guys lessen our chances of finding figs we want naturally in the store during release waves, then make a profit on it later. I seriously hate scalpers more than any of the 3 choices on this survey. I used to buy from them, but no more, no feeding the scalpers. |

repackers not only steal cowardly...they take it to the cheap side also. Too cheap to buy the 4 pack,even though you could sell or even give away the figs you dont want.
