Netflix Ultra Magnus in Siege Packaging?

I found this at Target the other day and it looks like Netflix Ultra Magnus in a Siege box. It doesn't appear to have been a swap out as the parts are still secured in the package. I went back today to pick it up and it was gone but it looks like a legit running change to the already ended Siege line.

(If this is news worthy I do want credit. I just haven't been active in forever and don't know who's on the news crew now.)

Better check the box itself, especially the underside, for cut tape. Although the plastic ties are already a big clue it's a swap: only one of the "prongs" is inside the hole in the tray, while it should be both.

I bet someone had a Netflix Magnus and didn't liked how "dirty" he looked so he bought a normal Magnus, swapped the normal for the Netflix one, then returned the Netflix Magnus in Siege box to the store.

I'd bet it's a swap. I don't think Hasbro would do a running change months after the successing line came out, especially considering that Netflix Magnus is a Wal-Mart exclusive.
