    Saw two at my local target today. Is it me or is the box not as nice/shiny as the previous Titans/Combiners? It looks and feels more like my KO POTP Predaking box.

    Oh well. I may just bite if I can't stand looking at it on the shelf anymore or Target has a TF sale. If not, my Amazon pre-order is scheduled for October at $10 less.

    So I got my Scorponok today from Target thought Fedex. I was not very happy how it was shipped I'm not in the box collector for Transformers but if I was I would be really mad. But on top of that because the box was not packed in to another box if someone was to see that box they would of saw what it was and it could of been taken off my door step luck I live in a good neighborhood. Very bad Target!!!!! 20200802_115758.jpg 20200802_115808.jpg 20200802_115815.jpg 20200802_115841.jpg

    You should ask for a 10% refund, which is standard for really banged up boxes (which is a known but underused policy they have). I even got 10% off a damaged Lego box today (normally, they don't take off at all for Lego but looked like someone body slammed the box totally).

    I understand 10% is standard, but I would ask for more. They literally slapped a label on and shipped it... you just don’t do that. Target has given me up to a 100% discount (that, mind you, I didn’t ask for; I just asked for my correct item, if I shipped back what they sent me on accident).

    For most large and oversized items in toys or sporting goods, they actually do just do that a lot of the time. Some things just ship in their own packaging. And not just Target, Wal-Mart and Amazon also do the same thing really. Now I'm not sure Scorponok qualifies, he's not that big, but he does come in a solid box with no plastic windows that could be torn so I'd say it was a judgment call. However I'm sure they'll give you a discount for it.

    This is why I prefer to either buy in store, if I can, or buy it through TFSource or BBTS so that the art box isn't horribly damaged.

    I would definitely be in contact with Target about how they shipped Scorpy; I'm surprised they didn't put it in a shipping box. I would also contact the shipping company since the box was crushed in transit.
