Just what I was going to say:
Our biggest enemy = other collectors. Why do scalpers scalp, shoplifts steal (to resell, usually), repackers swipe wanted figures, etc? Because we'll pay through the nose to get them. If not for other collectors, you wouldn't have to pay $12+ for a figure that should still be on the shelf, not being resold on ebay. And we certainly wouldn't have to put up with the AFA horseshit just because people think a plastic box and sticker means your action figure is suddenly worth 10x as much. We are the enemy, and sadly I don't think this will ever change. This thread/poll is 100% wrong. There are no enemies to collectors other than "the man in the mirror". Stores, Managers, Ordering Managers, Understockers, and Scalpers are all doing business that supports the hobby, as long as it makes sense to the business....the business has to be there in the first place, which means people have to buy more. Repackers, Card Benders, Shoplifters, Toy Hiders......they are not enemies of our hobby...they are just big selffish ol D-bags and will shit on anyone, not collectors in particular. And moms and dads......really? that one is juts nonsense lol.

They have a reciept. For the stuff they wanted and bought there. If it was from the same branding ie PoC single figs or MU single figs, their main reciept system uses the same SKU for every item regardless of UPC on the package. This lets people return the extra/pegwarmer elite to the store with their reciept.

Where's the option for the collector that says, "I'd buy that!" and then doesn't?
