Awhile back, I purchased a Star Wars comic pack. Specifically, the pack that contains Quinlan Vos and Vilmarh Grahrk (sp?). I'm not a Star Wars collector. I don't even know who these folks are. But, what caught my eye was that one of the figures in the pack (the one called Quinlan Vos) was missing. In his place was Sure-Fire from the RAM two-packs in 2002.

It's a figure swap, it is a relatively common occurrence in large metropolitan areas with large collector bases.
Someone bought the STar Wars comic pack, replaced quinlan Vos with a figure they didn't want, and returned it to the store to get their money back, effectively getting Vos for "free".

yeah, not scalping but repacking. I saw one of those Heman vs Superman packs where heman had been jacked and they left lex luthor in his place.

Repacking, not scalping. Scalping's a whole other mess.
