Geez, c'mon. Not even at full retail release yet officially, and there's bootlegs already?

Hasbro need to change the factory they use. Or maybe they did and this is the result of paying them peanuts.

hahahaha that was quick

[iceburn]

someone report the seller quick!

I bet this was quick because the mold used for the KO was likely used for the real figures. When you offload the mass manufacturing of a product to a third party company these sort of thing is bound to happen.

I bet the KO was probably made in the same factory as the real figures too. What's stopping the contractor company from making 'extra' figures using the same molds at their own cost?

That sux :mad:

& the seller only wants $2.99 for it?

Now that's a bargain if I've ever seen one ;)

[Tropisetron]

I was thinking..

Why don't someone create an account like "ANTi-KO" or some "DONTBIDKO" account and bid on these KO items as a protest..... like put in ridiculous amount for the item and nobody will overbid it... then the seller wouldn't get a cent from it.........Lol...

Just a thought...

[roller]

thats sounds like a good idea, but could they or Ebay get you in trouble for false bidding?

Yep, that's the gist of my 2nd sentence. ;)

Also notice what looks like a classics style of flip thing on the package? Actually, the packaging looks like the classics one.

Ok, I just reported him to ebay, and have contacted hasbro.

It's a KO of the Voyager sized Prime. Very disappointing. The delay of six months releasing the toys probably made this possible, as it usually takes that long for a KO to be generated from an actual toy. It would mean that this would have been from a stolen toy though, as the Voyager Prime still hasn't even been released officially yet.

Yeah, they don't just replicate the toys. They KO the packaging sometimes as well. The Legends KOs I found last year at the Warehouse were packed in the small Titaniums style packaging (plastic shape and card graphics).

2.99 opening bid and $30 postage!!!

Bloody incedible really. At least they have the decency to state that its a KO instead fo trying the old "re-issue" line.

I hope the KO factory burns down

I hope the KO factory burns down

But the factory is probably the same one that makes real TFs!
