    Hasbro product code number C5484
    EAN barcode 5010993530052, 5010993533329 or 5010993533312

    Apparently it contains various Transformers toys by Hasbro. A One-Step Changer is always guaranteed to be included.

    And there was a 2017 version too.

    Wait, so it's just a plastic egg with a one-step changer inside?

    Why?

    It's odd that Hasbro would produce official packaging exclusively for one country.

    A giant plastic egg full of one-step changers? Egg-selent! How egg-siting! It’s a shell of an idea. I’d better get cracking and buy myself one before they all get poached. I can probably go on an egg-spadition to the shops on Fry-day and have a look. Hope I don’t have to shell out to much cash. Does it come with a M-egg-atron do you think? Nah, I’m only yoking.

    I’m so so sorry.

    So it's a mega-Kinder-Surprise? Interesting. I guess it shows how little the one-step changers sell, they have to use blindbag techniques to get RID of them... pun intended.

    well, not really, this is 100% plastic, but last year there was a mega Kinder surprise for Easter.
    This had the usual milk-chocolate shell just much bigger, and inside a non transformable figure (2 really, both a robot and a vehicle mode)

    No worries, it was expected since we never got stuffs like these anyway he he he. Only tons of cheap RID pencils, watches, erasers, notebooks, etc. It's strange we got so much RID merchandising, even more than TLK or any other series.

    Exactly how would one define \"perfect\" with this gift? That\'s a very subjective and debatable claim to make, more so when you\'ve actually handled a Kinder Egg toy and know their typical quality already.

    It appears there's a 2019 version:
    SORPRESOVO TRANSFORMERS 2019 - Rodeschini Shop

    And it appears to contain a Botbots blind box figure, Authentics "Bravo" Bumblebee and Authentics "Alpha" Optimus Prime.

    Hasbro product code number C1750? This doesn't seem right. Thats an entirely different Hasbro product.

    @Nevermore ~ so, obviously i don't really understand the nuance of how Hasbro handles its products and divisions in Europe, is it possible this was something commissioned by the "local branch" or something along those lines? Like you said, very odd that it would be for one country.
