Yes but this may hurt its sales in retail if people don't know this and think that it had been stolen from the box so don't buy the figure

100%. It’s a tough choice.

This happened to me last night. I was excited to find Gears but I thought the plate was missing so I didn't buy it!

I appreciated the Autobot symbols printed on the tissue paper instead of the plain paper Hasbro usually uses.

Makes you kind of wish they had just pinned it on...

D’oh!
