ROTS overstucks - As of today 2 years later nothing. but even in later summer 06 TRU's by me still had pegs of ask ask, mon mothmas and bail organas. none of those have shown as battle packs yet. The stores put em on clearencce and then they were gone a couple months later. and that was long after all the movie promo fixtures were carted away back to hasbro.
to your original rant then - if they were packing up movie leftovers (whether from ep 1 2 or 3) how can you possibly intimate a stormtrooper in the battle pack is reuse of returned unsold product? If you consider the logistics to return the figures to china, uncard them and repackage them it would reduce the profit margin of the battle pack. If they were selling generic packaging figures (like Kenner did in 85) then I would agree they could be factory overrun figures but since these packs are distinct sets produced for mass market it doesn't fit that they are returns
