Its also pointless, since you can typically just sell of the extra bits and break even or get stuff super cheap anyway.

Example: I just bought the Target 3 pack for $30 on clearance, but I just wanted Ms Marvel's head and Cap's extra head for customs. Well, put up the three figures (keeping those heads) on eBay and after fees I made $0.84 profit AND got free heads.

The GotG legends wave: I bought 4 cases online, sold off all the extra figures (including built groots) and got my set for free (though I did sell off my Nova and IMs) plus an extra Starlord, and I think I ended up $30ish after fees (plus the free figures).

So if some dirtbat is willing to steal the BaF parts and risk a shoplifting conviction but just isn't willing to put in an hour of *LEGAL* work for it... Well, its just sad.
