So, a lot of people who ordered the Humble Origins 2-pack and/or Tyranny 2-pack are discovering that Amazon has swapped the product codes, and people expecting to receive one of them are consistently receiving the other instead.

https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Evolution-Megatron-Senator-Exclusive/dp/B0BDJ6XK2S/

https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Evolution-Voyager-Shockwave-Exclusive/dp/B0BCLZ2GTG/

In retrospect, it kind of makes sense, given that the Humble Origins set (Senator Shockwave and Orion Pax) is selling for $69.99 and includes one Voyager and one Deluxe, while the Tyranny set (Senator Ratbat and Miner Megatron) includes two Voyagers and yet is only $54.99. People were reportedly trying to take advantage of Amazon's pricing mistake, perhaps not realizing that it wasn't the prices where they goofed, but the product descriptions themselves.

Not a tragedy if you ordered both sets from Amazon, since you'll get them both eventually (just not in the order you're expecting). A bit more upsetting if for some reason you only wanted one set but not the other, because you won't get the one you asked for.

This problem seems to only be with shipments delivered from Amazon, and toys ordered directly from Hasbro Pulse do not appear to have this issue.

Zob (didn't order either set, so it doesn't affect me, but...)
