Now I'm taking that with a grain of salt because Walmart had never been a reliable source for information about Walmart.

Otherwise, I'm not really surprised, most people probably were going to buy the reissues online anyway.

Please don't. You will waste your money big time. It's only a reissue. There is no point to keep it sealed but mostly even less so to AFA grade it. The sealed thing and AFA grading is only worth it on true vintage products or ultra rare, ultra limited releases such as lucky draws.

We reached out to Hasbro, we will see what happens.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Or if there are multiples you can pick the best paint job.Emerje wrote:Rodimus Knight wrote:So far, I received my hot rod, I ordered two of them and both boxes were in crap condition.

Another argument for why it sucks having exclusives that are online-only. It's much better being able to handle a figure in stores and picking the best one than being at the mercy of a warehouse worker that has no concept of proper packing. Walmart, Amazon, and TRU have all sent me collectibles in nothing more than padded envelopes, at best a thin box with no padding. Much prefer being able to handle something before I buy it than take a chance on something arriving damaged and mangled from a big box store.
