A couple weeks back, I ordered the Animated Cybertronian mode Optimus Prime from play.com.  My package arrived through the post this morning, and I opened it up.........

.........only to be confronted with an Animated Starscream instead.  The fools have sent me the wrong figure!

So now I find myself in something of a dilemma.  I'm faced with three possible choices here:
a) Keep the figure, as it actually does look cooler than I thought it would - if, that is, I can find storage space for it!
b) Email Play and ask them to send me the product I asked for when I send Screamer back to them, or
c) Ask you kind lot if any of you fancy doing a trade?  Screamer is available to the best (not necessarily highest!) bidder!

What does one do?
Thoughts, people?

So you got a £20 figure instead of a £10 figure?

Sounds like a win to me.

Well that kinda makes me glad I cancelled my Animated orders with them now...

But seriously, I think you got a positive from this cock-up.  So I wouldn't say anything about it.

Yeah man. Cybertron mode Prime is a deluxe, SS is a voyager. I'd praise the toy gods for your half price Starscream, then buy a decent Prime.

Keep that guy.He's a voyager.He's a kick-@$$ figure.You should exchange him for Prime only if you have Ani Starscream.

Oh,you decided to keep it?Good choice.

What's up with Play.com at the moment?  I ordered Starscream & Lockdown & ended up with Bumblebee & the deluxe Prime instead. I wasn't a happy chappie.

Perhaps you got Motormaster's Prime? And someone else got a Lockdown instead of a Bumblebee?

Still, it's sloppy, and shouldn't happen at such a big store.

I assume they got their internal systems wrong - Starscream and Prime. They must be in a rush to get theses for sale before the Universe
