Haha, think of all those marvel legends figures you see on shelves with issing build a figure components or just switched outright. With the model you propose, that would still be around, but you would have to wait for your order to arrive to realize that something is missing, or has been switched.
Unless of course, these online retailers do not accept returns,but then you get into other problems too.
As for those online 25$ deluxes, I have met fans that dont care to hunt at all and also want their figures first and on a scheduled basis (like ordering takara figures from japan) so they are happy to pay more to know they are getting their figures and dont have to look elsewhere. So while I dont buy from online collector stores, I can see why there is an audience for it.
