Toy Aisle Trolls is a feature highlighting acts of vandalism to in-store toy items. If you find a ruined package, a stolen figure, a swapped-out figure, or any other such acts, take a photo (cell phone photos are fine if they’re not blurry) and email them to poe@poeghostal.com.

Found these sad sacks at a ROSS in Olympia, WA. Wreck-Gar has been swapped with an busted AT-AT and Turbo Tracks has been swapped for some random TF. Even $6.99 is too much for the trolls.

I'm up here on business, and I've found trolled Transformers at almost every store I have visited. They got to the TF Prime figures within a day of Target putting them on the shelf.

Im not surprised. Im aware its been a major concern and they have been trying to stop it form happening, but its become rather widespread. I have a friend who works for target and apparently one of them has been turned away trying to return stuff,but legally they cant do anything. Which target did you go to?

Thought it's probably a moot point, the "random TF" on the right looks like Mudslinger from the Power Core Combiners sub-line of Transformers.

Kinda shocked to see this happening at the discount chains.
