People returning Transformers to stores with blatantly different items in the packaging, and they being dumb enough to accept them.

No, don't try it. It's stupid. It gets worse - apparently the staff then just put the returned figure back on the shelves. It's therefore possible to find a Transformers box with something completely different inside. I think it happens in the USA more than here but I bet some people do it here.

Happened with the old Megadrive's too.

great thing is, taking out the innards would still leave you with a working console, it just wouldn't look all that fab....
