Problem was, the crown/coin debacle was not known until AFTER it was released, and people had already had it ordered/paid for.

And even now, months later, the truth hasn't circulated enough through the fandom to counter-act all the false reports of the initial listing.... so it's not the fault of buyers to believe that they are getting a "transforming crown/coin" if news sites and the three biggest fandom toy dealers claim it.

It's hardly the first time a toy dealer has just run with what other dealers have posted, just to get a pre-order listing out there to compete... but is their fault so many fans thought they were getting a convertible crown, or at the very least, a coin - neither of which proved to be true. Even the photos of the "coin" look like a regular TFs coin.

Buyers should be careful, but sellers need to inform customers as soon as the product "changes" from the original listing.
