    It honestly baffles me that stores accept these.

    Oh, that Lockdown is finally gone.

    Not a repack but factory error, found at my local Wal-Mart today (in front of a card for Gears. No figure or plastic... just the card.)

    I won't say that T30 Springer is a better figure than the Siege one; But among any figures T30 Springer is such as odd choice for a toy-swap as it's an competent toy and probably the last figure I have in mind of when I think of toy-swapping.

    I don't see the sword/helicopter blade. If that's been lost, he's not much of a triple changer anymore.

    Buy it, then return it to Target.

    The 2013 “street-date” will cause their whole system to crash.

    Sure it is! One man’s rotor-less helicopter is another man’s Cybertronian helicopter. . .

    It has been awhile since I checked up on the thread, but it's cool to see it's still alive and well! I spotted my first egregious example of this in a while and thought I would share. It appears to be an Armada Prime cab with the chest plate and an antler missing. The accessory looks like a chromed part from the 80's, but I can't place it. The guy really took care to reuse all of the plastic tie-downs. I can see how a worker might be fooled if not for the gaping chest cavity.

    That chromed part reminds me of one of the Voltron weapons that the individual lions held in their mouths, but thats probably not it.
