Does anyone think this page should be semi-protected or something? I mean, it's been "enhanced" a few times in the span of 2 days (probably by the self entitled douche bags the article speaks of). What's the consensus?--[[User:AWT88|AWT88]] 19:47, 28 May 2009 (EDT)

:Autoconfirm seems appropriate here. If someone has the balls to remove the line about toy-swapping being "undesirable," let them register for a screen name so we can mock them to their face. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 19:51, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
::Sounds like a ''much'' better plan to me.--[[User:AWT88|AWT88]] 19:55, 28 May 2009 (EDT)

<nowiki>*</nowiki>forehead smack* Protected the wrong bit of the page! - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 20:01, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
:Eh, you cool, Chris. I fixed it.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 20:07, 28 May 2009 (EDT)

[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=62666 Bleargh001] found another case, this one Human Alliance Bee and Sam, where Bee's replaced with something else. --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] 23:27, 18 September 2009 (EDT)

I ssem to remember on EBay, 2-3 years ago, an Ultra Magnus in Optimus packaging. I got no record of the listing, and I didn't buy it, so who knows.[[User:Hida Atarasi|Hida Atarasi]] 23:41, 21 December 2009 (EST)

== Painted piece of wood? ==

Please tell me someone has a picture of that. --[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 14:15, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

==Defending the practice==
Anyone got any links to message boards/usenet/somewhere where an asshole rationalizes doing this? Or are we just hypothesizing? [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 09:10, 22 December 2009 (EST)
:Does such a thing exist? Or are we just trying for less partiality?[[User:Hida Atarasi|Hida Atarasi]] 13:19, 22 December 2009 (EST)
:: Fosterlager was banned from the Allspark for being real smug about doing this. Now he's a TFW2005 mod. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 14:15, 22 December 2009 (EST)
:::In retrospect, I think he may have been taking a joke too far and you guys were reeled in. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 02:21, 23 December 2009 (EST)

== Package Swapping? ==

Does swapping packages count as toy swapping? I saw a ROTF Optimus Prime Leader with a first movie leader cardboard inside piece, inside a ROTF box. [[User:Bioniclepluslotr|Bioniclepluslotr]] 20:24, 25 January 2010 (EST)

== Tomatoes ==

As this page is currently protected (though their doesnt seem to be a lock icon anywhere), I wanted to add http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/183502-lets-see-some-not-so-cool-stuff-transformers-only-edition-73.html#post4708953 to the list. [[User:Arborday|Arborday]] 14:29, 6 April 2010 (EDT)
:We stopped this article becoming simply a giant list of every instance this happens. We may consider especially weird/outrageous ones, though. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 14:47, 6 April 2010 (EDT)
::Just added it. Thanks for the head's up. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 14:56, 6 April 2010 (EDT)

== Image Gallery? ==

How does an image gallery sound? Different pics of toy swapping, for more examples. I have pictures of a Recon Ironhide swapped with a regular ROTF Ironhide, with Transmetal 1 Primal's gun and some appendages I can't identify. I also have a picture of the recent Twins/Sideways HftD Target-Exclusive pack with the TRU-Exclusive Twins (that came with the white Demolishor; didn't have stickers) and a dark-variant Sideways with no head. {{unsigned|Karhukjnsi}}
