It's because DCC uses the old style blister pack taped to cardboard which is way better in my opinion.

Also difficult to return a figure to a comic store.

Because DC Collectibles or DC Icons don't have BAF pieces?
If you are talking about Mattel's DC Multiverse, I haven't seen any with swapped figure or BAF pieces in Vancouver, yet...

True that.
I don't think comic store owners are dumb enough to accept a figure with swap pieces.

Wait, did they really just swap the fire piece for a spare head?

Re: Toy Aisle Trolls

Looks like the guy was only interested in the Phoenix effect piece and put back a green suit Phoenix head...

Re: Toy Aisle Trolls

My latest "find" at TRU here yesterday:

They had red stickers on the bottom with a lower price and hand-written "wrong figure", but the return desk fail was top-notch on these.
