    A member here was recently boasting about doing that with Transformers toys (sticking barcodes on toys to have them scan up as a cheaper item)... that person, and others thinking about doing it too, need to take note that it can lead to an arrest.

    ^ Agreed.

    Lagenbach, who lives in a gated multi-million dollar home in San Carlos, Calif.
    Prosecutors said he sold 2,100 Lego items for roughly $30,000 over the last year.
    He obviously earns a bit of coin so why even bother for 30K

    Yeah he probably did it for the thrill and not mostly for the coin.
