It confuses me slightly as to what they are doing but I think they are testing waters for a future change.

I think between that, the Groot evolution exclusive, and the Homecoming Vulture wings that they're clearly testing a few waters.

I believe the BAF method is too tried and true for Legends, and while I'd love to ditch a random character limb for a simple included display stand I don't think Hasbro is confident in a set-up that doesn't include incentives like BAF pieces to convince people to buy figures they wouldn't normally ever buy. But they must be thinking of ways to switch it up at least, which does help.
