    It'd be crazy if this was just a small stunt some employees pulled to atract more collectors.

    And this feels like another reason why nobody outside of it can "get you something you want" in this hobby.

    *buzz buzz*
    "hello?"
    "Hey (friend/ sibling/ offspring/ spouse), Im in a store and thought I would look at Transformers for you. Didnt you say something about a train guy?"
    *gasps* "OMG They have it? Wait... wanna make sure its the right one..."
    "Well, he's gray and some purple... there's yellow on his head and the package says (reads everything on the package instead of just the character name) Astrotrain"
    "Cool! Yes get it please thank you so much, I will pay you back ASAP."

    *gets it in hand* o_O :wtf: :mad: :mad: :mad: :banghead: :cry 

    Acquaintance: "what's wrong? You said you wanted that one, we spoke on the phone and you said it was right, remember?"

    :redface2:  "just, yeah... this isnt your fault..."

    A: "well whats wrong with that one?"

    I have a feeling things like these will be returned to Walmart in the Netflix Spoiler Ultra Magnus set. Brilliant idea for a set that you literally don't know what you are buying so you have no idea what to be looking for when you open it. Not to mention the Walmart employee has no idea what to expect when they see a return...not that they would look anyway.

    Wait until you start seeing blowpipe and lionizer repacked with netflix megatron. Or maybe even Seige Megatron in the netflix box. And if Ross/TJ Maxx start getting voyager Siege figures for 12.99 Walmart is f**ked.

    I've caught some shifty repacks lately at the Burbank, California Walmart and Target. Walmart had a POTP Blackwing in a Siege Spinister box, while Target had Studio Series Cogman inside the new Studio Series Soundwave box and the Cyberverse Hot Rod which came with the Sharkticon set was in place of the Quintesson from that set.
