I have gotten Dusty, Alpine, Red Faced Bats, Baroness in dive gear and a lot of other figures on ebay without having to buy the how boxed set. And I didn't steal to do it.

You know who is doing this, right. It's not collectors. It's scalpers. Those ratbastards know that collectors are looking for one or two figs from a boxed set max, so they are buying repacking to sell the more sought after figures.

I think the worst one I've seen is the one at Target that had a Cobra Commander, a Red Hiss, a Mobat, and a dorky looking Destro for $70.00. It had a Shortfuse, but who ever bought him as a kid anyway. All of the packs were like that. I wonder what a real Ultimate Battle Pack had in it. I'll bet it was something cool. Darn re-packers!

Then you and I have acheived the same result without buying the needless repacks we didn't want to buy. You and I have gotten them by responsible means. But the motivation for going about it in a legitimate manner doesn't mean there's a disconnect between our motivation and why others have chosen to do so by unsavory means.
All I'm saying is that I can understand their motivation, but I do not recognize their method. |

My fiancee bought me the best of pack but when she gave it to me I noticed it had been repacked. I had to return it, I felt like a jerk but what am I supposed to do? I feel bad for the next guy but why do I have to be the victim you know?

sure, all of us whom want these singular wants understand the motivation, but it's in no way acceptable.
i am not for a second insinuating that you condone the action, simply responding to the statement that it's undertandable. if you took that from my post than there is a clear misunderstanding. i can understand the desire to want these singular wants but i do not give understanding to the means taken to acheive them thru theft.

Hey, return it for sure, but do the right thing and explain to the store why you are bringing it back. That way they will hopefully not reshelve it for some other poor sap to buy.

It's so hard to find stuff, too. When you find that "Best of 80's" DVD and you are so happy for an instant only to be robbed of your joy when you see Alpine replaced by Comic Pack Duke and Dreadknok Buzzer flying the Claw. Not to whine, but it's cruel. Just but the darn thing!

It was very cruel indeed and she felt so bad, I was pissed.
