For some reasons, I can't find the pictures on Google. Dunno if it was faked or legit, but I saw a Bumblebee packaging with a literal BEEHIVE in it.
Another of the same kind was an Ironhide packaging with oranges in it.
I once bought purposefully a toyswap once, in hope that the swapped toy was better than the original one. Unfortunately, it was garbage. I successfully returned it, stating clearly to the girl what was the situation.
However, I was guilty of doing a toy swapping myself. My friend bought the Unite Warrios Menasor set. For some reasons, he ham-handed his Motormaster and snapped him clear in half at the waist. CW toys were still sold in store and CW Motormaster was like a plague on the shelves. So he bought one. We then swapped the UW wheels to give the CW one. The we put the UW one in the CW packaging. Then we returned it. When returning the broken Unite Warriors Motormaster in Combiner Wars packaging for refund, we clearly stated that the toy was deffective and broken. We stressed the fact the toy should be returned to the manifacturer and should NOT be put back on the shelves.
That's the only time we ever did a toy-swap. It was also basically the same toy. It was still wrong to do so when I think about it because I could have put any random crap inside the box because as we can see on the Wiki page, store clerks usually don't give a crap.
