As others have said, magazine promotions. They switched over to paper bags in
2022.
Germans and Poles seem to have the most.
I suspect there are a few sellers who have the hookup to where they buy up all
the unsold magazines (or raid a dumpster/pay a worker where they are being thrown
away) for the minifigs.
They could be buying retail, but I find it hard to believe they are picking up
1000 of the same set by visiting stores and paying retail price.
In the US, LEGO has produced promotional figures that come with DVD/Blu-ray (LEGO
movie, superheroes), and I have recently seen small children's books that
include a minifigure at Dollar General.
