Scalper evidence?

So I picked up a couple Shock Troopers around a week ago and one of them had a damaged upper right corner. No big deal to me, since I was opening him anyway.

But why is the corner damaged? Here's my theory. A local scalper bought the trooper and put a jacked-up price sticker on it. And it sat and sat and sat. Finally the flea-bag fleamarket scalper needed his money back, so back to the store it went.

No profit for the scalper. Actually a loss - gas money to go to the store to buy and then return to get a refund! Sweet!

That's my theory and I'm okay with it!
