Sigh... This isnt even a TF. It's some king of accessory for some action figure. I really hoped it was a Beast wars. Oh well. If anyone know what the hell this **** is, feel free to tell. I'll just pack it back up and return it tommorrow.
I thought something was off right off the bat from that first photo. I was recently toy swapped too, and like you, it was painted poorly as well. This strikes me as the same guy since we are in the same geographic region. Its too big a coincidence. What a piece of garbage that guy is, thinking he can get away with this crap. I am glad its collectors like you and I who picked them up, out of curiosity, and not some poor parent of kid. We knew there was something fishy and now no one else has to suffer from this lame brain's ill practices.
UPDATE:
Forgot to tell yesterday that I got that 3DS kit for free because of a random coupon.
As for today.
I packed the "Skylinx" quickly back into it's packaging without making any effort whatsoever to hide anything. It's even secured with a very large but clear box-tape. I went to Target today to return the thing that pass as Skylinx. I clearly explained to the customer service lady that I "bought it without really looking" but the toy was swapped by somebody for something random. She said nothing and gave me a confused look. Then she said "there's a part missing?". I made a loud and dramatic sigh, wide eye-roll and shoulder drop included. Then, I said "NNah, this just wont do". She scanned the thing, gave me back my money, and I left. I bet sooner or later, that "Skylinx" will find itself back on that Target's shelves.
Also, scored Deluxe AoE Strafe and Slash. around 20$ each. No matter, I'm not waiting for a sale for the dinobots. I'm getting them as soon as they come out. BTW, Slash is okay, Strafe is awesome.
