So giving the shortpacked figure a piece of a BAF ensures that it will sell to someone looking to complete the BAF.

Also, the prevailing "wisdom" in the toy industry seems to still think that female figures in a toy line aimed at boys will not sell as well as other figures in the same line.

Having said that, I still find it very odd that there is not an equal number of BAF parts, regardless of who gets them. This is the main reason I think Hasbro will release a revision case to help even out the numbers.

Honestly I think the adult collector's are keeping this line going well, I see the stuff aimed more towards kids and it just peg warms like crazy!

Found a Infinite Boomerang, did anyone need him? 25 shipped pm me if interested.
