No offense, but posting this certainly won't help matters, at all. I realize Hasbro did this unintentionally, and it fits because it looks like a scene ripped right out of the movie(s), and it shouldn't be there, but drawing this kind of attention to it is only going to help make matters worse.
I think posting this was a bad idea, no matter who would've posted it.
I don't think there will be a recall, but I do think there will be a packaging change, and I'll bet these cigarette originals will climb in price down the road.

I understand and respect your concern(s). We're here to report the news whether it be positive, negative, favorable, or unfavorable. Someone would've posted this eventually.

I appreciate you being able to take my comments as such. I'm glad they were taken as I intended. I do think parents groups are going to have a field day with this one. And this time Hasbro might've done themselves some damage. The groups might actually win this one because it looks like they're advocating both cigarettes and gambling. They're not, but you won't be able to talk to the groups about it.
Someone's always advocating something, even if it's ridiculous.

This is a very minor issue in my opinion and almost a non issue. Most kids don't pay attention to the packaging, they just tear it open and toss it in the trash. People are too overprotective with kids today. People just need to lighten up.

LOL! Now thats funny. Don't know about you but I've always seen 'state minimum' in reference to alcohol, not cigarettes.

Stupid question time;
Are those real?!
Edit:
I now realize that they're fake posters, not tickets. Thought they were tickets, my bad.

For such a small deal it sure gets blown up out of porportion. Hasbro will probably change the packaging on the next runs, thats a good thing. Those of you with this original packaging have got yourselves a collectible. Makes me wanna go buy one and store it away.

It would appear I'll be looking for this now. I'm hoping it will pay for a semester of school for one of the boys in 15 years...

THANK YOU! This is NOTHING. They will change the packaging I betcha cuz some hypersensitive PC turd will claim this adversely affected his poor, vulnerable child. Then they'll send him to a counselor who will diagnose him with ADHD and prescribe him some Ritalin.
Can ya tell I don't like how wimpy and PC our society is today?

I wonder where those images are taken from? I want to say Chicago, but I fairly certain that other states/cities have a Powerball, and of course Cigarettes.

Isn't this image from the city scene at the end of the first movie?

I think it is. It would at least make more sense if it is.

Since Jazz was slagged before the end of the first movie, yes, yes it would...
I gotta go with the earlier replies. This is news? No offence meant, but the packaging doesn't seem like newsworthy stuff. I could be wrong though. If I grab this, the packaging will hit the can about 15minutes after Jazz is free, with the motorbike. I could care less about Epps, but I missed out on Alternators Jazz. Then again, my Alt collection is 2 and a forklift versus 12, Autobot favor, so Dead End and Swindle would probably prefer I not, or find them a Barricade. (he never made it to Central Indiana that I know of)

It's definitely news worthy stuff. At a minimum, it's an interesting piece of conversation about an unusual piece of imagery that ended up on a Transformers packaging. To me, it's newsworthy, especially if the packaging changes at some point.

Since were on the subject.
One time, a while back when I was out of town looking for HFTD figures.
I passed by a mother and her two kids whom seemed to be purchasing a number of Hot Wheels.
Normaly I wouldn't pay a bit of attention to people in the store, but this time they caught my eye when I saw that the mother appeared to just be placing whatever the kids pointed at in the cart.
"Spoiled brats" I thought. "then again, I was pretty spoiled when I was a kid."
My gaze then turned to the mother's hand as she placed another package of Hot Wheels in the cart.
I saw that there was a Nintendo DS game inside of the cart as well. Grand Theft Auto...
I then looked up at the mother's face, and saw that she was on her cell phone.
Had a hard time avoiding my letting out a little chuckle at that point.
The moral of the story? Massive stereotypes do exist. Oh, and that parent's don't pay enough attention to their kids nowadays. Unless of course, it gives them a lack luster excuse to sue somebody. Otherwise they just send their kids to school and pay as little attention to them as possible.
