Another freak got my returned Cobra Commander Ex. I wouldn't be surprised if returns/exchanges were used to fulfill waitlist orders down the road so long as they're in fair condition. Whereas someone who PPO'd the figure might have an issue, as in my case, with a crooked Cobra logo, another customer might be just happy enough to have gotten one.
Precisely, while theire might be an insecure feeling about getting a figure/product you know's been opened, if it's in acceptable condition, I would think it'd be exciting enough to have gotten one, since I would assume anyone getting a retunred figure is an order placed after preorders shipped and there was a chance you might never have gotten one if that piece weren't returned.
