The people who take the figures home and either do a swap of a figure or just take a part/accessory are obviously the worst offenders. I saw some GI Joe vehicle packs that were the victims of this last week. The degree of effort that's put into that is so ridiculous that you've gotta scratch your head over where that person's priorities in terms of toys/money/time may lie. But I think the new packaging might deter people who are trying to just rip open the packages in the store.
The only people who are going to put a real stop to this are the retailers. But sometimes when you're dealing with an employee who barely makes more than minimum wage, they're not going to care that much.
As for the droids allocated to each wave? The poster indicates their release sequentially, as each BAF droid is numbered on the poster. And the astromechs listed were shown in Hasbro's powerpoint presentation at Toy Fair, and were allocated to wave 1 and 2. The best indication of the droid assignments will obviously be a carded sample, but Hasbro seems to have given us the sequence for the droids already.
