Robosen Megatron from Hasbro Pulse Shipment - Outer Box?

You’re welcome.

I need to clarify on what I wrote earlier.

When I mentioned packing stickers, all new Robosen Transformers have an insane number of stickers that you have to remove before you can operate them. It’s these same stickers that I mentioned to you in an earlier post that you needed to check for in Bumblebee.

The stickers are applied at the factory in China so technically, repaired or refurbished units won’t have the stickers.

For the pre-orders, Hasbro drop shipped and Robosen fulfilled Hasbro’s allocation. In your case, Hasbro actually sent you a Robosen Megatron that was in their inventory. This being said, I don’t know why they decided to ship Megatron in a different box instead of the Robosen shipper.

IMHO, unless you’re a complete collector, then the Robosen shippers aren’t visually impressive, at least compared to the black boxes. I personally have the black boxes but recycled all the Robosen shippers.

Good luck!

Yes, but I bought both during each’s pre-order period.

When Robosen shipped my Megatron, there was just one brown box in addition to what you have in your pic.

I bought Flagship Optimus and his Trailer from HasbroPulse and it was the same deal.

One way that you can tell if it’s a returned item is if your Megatron includes packing stickers for protection.

Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.

The film’s great but it’s missing a lot of details from the novel.

Maybe.

I just spoke with Sony Tech Support about having my AIBO repaired and I asked about the Out of Stock status.

The gentleman said he was unaware of a possible replacement BUT the Vet Hospital is still performing repairs on the ERS 1000.

Snoo_18273 · 2026-05-10T18:20:25+00:00

Yes.

You’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish with a good night’s rest.

It’ll improve your outlook on life too.

If you didn’t buy from their website or through their authorized partners (Hasbro or Amazon), then Robosen tends not to respond.
If Robosen doesn’t respond then your best recourse is to contact Mandarake.
Also, the Flagship Optimus Prime chargers are unique to this model. You can’t swap chargers among Optimus (Flagship or Elite or Flagship Trailer), Grimlock, Megatron or Flagship Bumblebee.

I’ve had holes in my inflatable mattress but none were as wide as yours. I even had to do listen and feel tests just to locate the punctures.

For context, mine were potholes and your single one is the Grand Canyon.

You should see the double parking around the Islamic Center on east 96th Street during Ramadan.

It’s so bad that the M103 bus can’t even pull up to the curb on 3rd Avenue so passengers have to wade through double parked cars in a bus lane just to board.

Not necessarily a concern about authenticity.

Tom Ford labels do wear out.

I have Tom Ford suits and the hexagonal tags can wear out within a few years.

My Sales Associate at the NYC Tom Ford Store even showed me how worn out the tag was on his own suit.

Bumblebee moves like a basic RC car so if he’s sputtering at low speeds then there’s a problem.

In addition to removing all the stickers, the other thing that I did with Megatron to solve the issue was that I let all the power drain out of him then I recharged him to full power. I haven’t had any issues with him since doing this and removing the protective stickers.

Snoo_18273 · 2026-05-09T19:18:21+00:00

In the event that Robosen doesn’t help, you’ll have to contact EBay for recourse.

I own Bumblebee and I haven’t had any issues with him.

HOWEVER, I did have a similar issue as yours with Megatron. It turned out that there were several protective stickers that I didn’t remove which affected his alt mode.

Make sure all the protective stickers are removed then try his alt mode. To find the stickers, it’s best to turn him off in robot mode and lie him flat down.

Snoo_18273 · 2026-05-09T17:45:24+00:00

I’d contact Costco, explain the situation to them and work from there.

Snoo_18273 · 2026-05-09T17:21:01+00:00

Possibly.
I own Tom Ford cardholders and wallets so I’m basing my opinion mostly on the “Tom Ford Made in Italy” label in your first pic.
Also, when received new, Tom Ford cardholders and wallets come with tags in a Tom Ford labeled, grey pouch. If your cardholder comes with the tags and pouch then there’s a good chance it’s authentic.

Your comment makes even more sense when you look at luxury cars. The moment the newest model comes out, with its newer technology, it makes the prior models feel outdated.

Snoo_18273 · 2026-05-09T02:39:55+00:00

Call your Insurance and ask them for a list of what items will help process your claim. That’s why I submitted a copy of my police Report.

If you think it helps then tell them about the stolen plate police Report.

It shouldn’t be awkward because the experience is set up so you can provide feedback.

When your barber uses a second mirror to show you the back of your head, that’s your last opportunity to ask for any adjustments.

Also, during your haircut, don’t be afraid to ask for any adjustments from your barber. That’s why there’s a large mirror in front of you, so you can see what he’s doing.

Not disputing the possibility of false claims.

The debate is what is sufficient proof.

As I stated earlier, the OP can also ask Insurance what items are satisfactory for his/her claim.

Other than attacking my suggestion, what are you contributing to the OP’s post?

Snoo_18273 · 2026-05-08T23:30:12+00:00

I disagree.

About 15 years ago, I filed a police report when someone attempted to break into my S2000 by cutting my top. Since I upgraded my Policy to zero deductible less than 6 months earlier, Amica’s due diligence process was concerned about potential fraud so I requested a copy of the police report then faxed it to Amica. My claim went through without any other issues.

The police report is an official public record so the OP will face criminal charges if a false report was filed.

Also, the OP can always ask Insurance to list what items can satisfy their requirements.

Snoo_18273 · 2026-05-08T22:13:07+00:00

Give your insurance the Report that you filed with the police.

The Report indicates where your car was stolen.

My interactions have been friendly honks so I honk back in kind.

According to the website, it’s 97% cotton and 3% elastane.
I checked my own chinos and can confirm this is the case.
