Best Buy Sprocket a ripoff? [CLOSED]

I just got my Best Buy Heavy Duty Sprocket and in game it says "Sprocket" not "Heavy Duty Sprocket". OK? The artwork above health guage shows her series 1 artwork not her series 2 artwork. Double OK? I got her Wow Pow and realised something.... She can't switch paths. I tried my regular Heavy Duty Sprocket. Works just fine, switches paths and all. Went back, rebooted the game and everything. Best Buy Sprocket cannot switch. Some Series 2 guys! Anyone else have this issue?

In my opinion, someone screwed up. If she is sold as "Heavy Duty Sprocket" with a paint change, she should've been also to switch paths. Giants didn't have this problem....did Swap Force engineers screw up here? I think so.

RIP GhostRoaster. He's reanimated as TakeYourLemons but occasionally is resurrected from the beyond when needed.

I get the feeling that "Special" and "Series 2" are both "modifier" tags, and the way they made the game a figure can have only one tag. Are there any figures that show up with multiple tags - example: "Special Series 3"?

The codes in my metallic green gill grunt and silver sproket both have the correct codes I would expect for these figures.

Gamer, Programmer, Engineer, Soldier, Uncle, Collector...that should cover it, I think.

I thought these were supposed to be somewhat hard to find? I just got back from buying a new DVD player and saw at least 4 of them.

No, it's a normal exclusive figure, albeit without the in-game color.

Right, the game has mis-interpreted the information. Not critical, but still big and kinda "are you kidding me?"

I hear you Ghost Roaster. I definitely think and agree that Vicarious Visions bit off more than they could chew during the development of Swap Force. They still did a lot of great things and definitely did not ruin the franchise or anything close to that. But the gaffes and lack of careful proofreading and testing definitely does show through. I'd greatly prefer to see Skylanders back with Toys For Bob or another more accomplished studio.

Amazon Flameslinger can switch paths. (I own him)

Basically it's a series 1 sprocket with the wow-pow in this game.
