As I have said many times, If you don't have the money to collect then STOP COLLECTING STUFF. Don't be an asshole to others.

Yeah the theft has been rampant everywhere I go. I live on the west coast but when I travel to the east coast I see a lot of baf pieces missing, figures swapped out, or agent coulson missing from that shield 3 pack etc. Just today I was able to pick up tiger shark for $1.90 cuz the baf piece was missing:



So yeah, the packaging is great for honest collectors and even better for scammers and thieves. Based on the rampant theft I would prefer the old school clam shell packaging, preferably the all plastic ones like NECA uses that are a pain to open without scissors.
