Wow that many at one store is pretty bad...I've experienced my fair share with photos to go with em...but all of that at one store really pisses me off...employees can be so oblivious...here being one of them:

I think the price of the figures is the main cause of this epidemic. I think many people who would otherwise NOT repackage figures just are so overwhelmed by the pricetag that they justify a switch-a-roo because they're returning another figure for the new one. I think Mattel should be held responsible for this one.

But stores won't order figures until they sell out the ones they have, and if they are all switches which nobody wants, they wont sell. Therefore, Mattel does not sell that store more figures, and does not make money from that location. That doesn't hold up either. Stores like Wal-Mart and TRU buy in bulk lots of tens of thousands of figures and ship the the distribution centers which use their computers to decide where stock goes. Re-packers are not lowering the total number of units bought, it just means your store won't get an new stock.

Ok.. this obviously is not a kid. You said they are 20.99 at your store? What kid has $80+ bucks to spend on figures? ....and the balls to return them? You should seriously report that to the store manager. That is a lot of money to lose for no good reason. Whoever is doing this stuff is a complete loser. I agree with you, Juice. These are not kids. These are scumbag adults. Look at most of the figures that these people are using to switch out....Jakks figures and parts of figures from 5-7 years ago. These are not kids doing this. I guarantee that most of the people doing this PROBABLY have accounts HERE. The people doing this are old, have to have been collecting for a lot of years to get some of the figures that they are switching out.

Why are people doing this Because (sadly) they can and are easily getting away with it.
