>>8854304I got one because without the armour he's kind of a stealth release of a Phantom minifigure. (Pic from google search, not mine.)
I've only ever seen CMF pieces scattered once, and it was two brides which is dumb because the slope piece is the easiest thing to feel. I felt compelled to buy them so they wouldn't get thrown out, it didn't occur to me to just keep the parts.
I'm rather surprised you found that wave to be hit so hard by thieves, none of the figures were terribly valuable. They were after Red Hood, I guess?
