    That's a weird date format and I don't recognize the store by the signage. Curious!

    Impossible to truly comment without knowing if there’s a back to this flyer, but as-is it’s certainly missing a lot of the legal disclaimer text that should be present on such a thing.

    The "limited edition" wording is concerning. Does that mean that this Cheetor is not the Netflix one? :(  I really like that Cheetor for the shade of yellow and the gradient white in the beast head. I honestly couldn't care less for the darker blue as I planned to repaint him with metallic blue. It would suck if this one is really a very limited run as I already canceled my pre-order for retail Cheetor.

    Here are some things that I notice are a bit off:
    • Lack of competition-related Legalize (To cover Hasbro's ass if anything goes wrong)
    • The use of MM/DD/YYYY (Probably cause we know its from Singapore)
    • The name "Rusticon" as we know for certain (due to Walmart leaks) that he is named Barricade.
    • These figures are all known to be apart of the "Netflix" line, which is a Walmart exclusive, but seeing the background figures, it is clearly in a Target due to the "Buzzworthy Bumblebee" stuff in the background.

    Might be worth noting it’s also printed on 8x11” home printer paper.

    That's even more suspect.

    I won't lie, this does reak of a fake the more we dive in.

    The only real thing pointing otherwise is the fact that it uses offcial never-before-seen images of those three figures.

    The use of official previously unseen photography makes me think it's official.

    People haven't dealt with people outside of the USA if they don't recognize that date format.

    Lucky Draw here just means a contest prize. Not that they are super rare exclusives like Takara's Lucky Draw figures.

    That and the photos of the figures we have never seen before.

    I'm not declaring it an outright fake, but I have my suspicions

    If that's a fake, a hell lot of effort went into designing it.

    Then why is the currency in dollars? Is this Australia or something?

    I mean there aren't target or walmart in Singapore, and the signage at the bottom isnt using US currency or a US retailers signage. Looks like a Toys R Us, tbh. That exclusivity isnt valid outside of the US usually.

    Only thing thats off is the using of the US dollar sign, but many other countries use that symbol.

    Many countries use that symbol.

    Signage looks like TRU, which still operates in Singapore.

    This may shock you, but figures exclusive to one retailer in the USA may end up in other retailers overseas.

    Very good point, Why is it in the Singapore date system (MM/DD/YYYY) but be in USD?
    Yes it is.
    Good point, it does look like a TRU.

    the Netflix line is exclusive in the US but are sold in other shops worldwide. Same for buzz worthy bumblebee line, might not be exclusive outside the USA
