Plus, in Target's eyes, it doesn't matter who or what the character is, what matters is that they have stock sitting on the pegs because it is all under the same item code. They wouldn't know if it was Spider-Man, Superman, to their asses, it is all the same UPC if it is in the same package.

To answer your first part, it's totally different, since if you were exchanging a gift at the store for something else, the original gift would've been from that store anyways! Secondly, yeah, they don't care if it's Spider-Man or Iron Man or Batroc in their system since they have the same upc, but that's precisely the problem! When they go to reorder, they see they have full pegs of legends, even if it's just a bunch or Iron Men and Spideys! No new figures get ordered, the old ones get clearanced out, and the store stops carrying them!
