Interesting, rare and sometimes cheap ebay items.

[Doubledealer]

Seeing Hursti's recent Rock Lord acquisitions prompted me to search for a decent lot to get a bit of a collection going myself. Went for this auction today, can't wait for the nostalgia rush when they arrive! :D http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140621459927?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_483wt_1105

[Skullcruncher]

I know some of you guys LOVE collecting weird/ obscure TF merc.

How about this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/86-Takara-Japan-G1-Transformers-Scramble-City-Boardgame-w-Decoys-MIB-/160671198157?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2568bfebcd) Takara boardgame? The box art looks AMAZING :)

It is cool but its also missing two more decoys - the six autobots are the same in every game while the 2 decepticons are always random.

I hope to get the instructions translated within the next month - just waiting on some more japanese goodness to arrive - any one in melbourne wanna play? heh :D

Thanks Hursti, so many fond memories came flooding back after seeing your Rock Lords. I just had to go on the hunt for some! :cool:

I was thinking how cool it would be to have a model cave to display them all in with some atmospheric LED lighting. :) I'd totally forgotten about those Nalis too, haha they're brilliant! Will deffo take pics when they arrive!

LOL, not dodgy at all! Don't you reckon some of the swirly paint jobs are way cool? Like Sabre Stone's pink and white paint scheme how they kinda blend together...Looks swoit I reckon :)

Would you pay that much for those Beast Wars toys if you had the mulah-lah Hursti? I love how he/she offers a discount of 5%, I think if you can afford them at that price it's not gonna make all that much of a difference. :p

Oh yeah, completely agree; what they lacked in engineering they made up in strides with materials as the paint, plastic and diecast are quite superior to a number of G1s of the same period. ;):cool:

Cmon fellas - you two crooners can't be Gobot haters and at the same time reminisce about the concept of transformable rocks ? Double standards man!

I had the gold Rocklord not too long ago (Nuggit?!). Won it as part of an 80's ebay auction. If only you guys spoke up about your secret (shameful :p) obsession earlier, I would've given it away. I ended up trading it with a bunch of other stuff.

Hopefully he isn't the "Fortress Maximus" of the Rocklords series.

LOL, honestly I don't hate the Gobots that much as, in the end, they too are Cybernetic beings and therefore receive a higher rating from me than what G.I. Joe ever will. :cool:

Not to worry though, Nuggit is not terribly hard to locate or afford, he's certainly no Fort Max. :D

They quote an AFA serial number, but don't show the label.........
I'm thinking UNsafe

[canofwhoopass_87]

Yeh I think that particular seller is just attempting to pass that off as another actual graded Strafe. The one he has isn't sitting in an acryllic case, there's no AFA sticker and to top it off - the grades given (CARD: 85) clearly does not match the item shown.

Custom G1 Classics Menasor (one for loopy ;)). Looks alright, but not really liking the head

Some auctions make me sad, like an incomplete Transmutate that needed 2 pieces (that I have) that ended for $5 (the seller didn't get back to me about postage to Australia so I wasn't going to bid). Or the 2006 BotCon Tigatron that went for $50 and I didn't bid for the same reason as the Transmutate. (Some sellers are so lazy)

But sometimes, auctions make you laugh, and often for silly reasons.

Take this Beast Wars Lot (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lot-25-Transfromers-BEAST-WARS-Figures-Machines-Loose-/370562918622?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item56474568de) for example.

Just hope the person who wins it is buying it for themselves and not a collector for Xmas. Imagine the awkwardness on Xmas day as they open it to realise it's a KO...

[griffin]

Now, if I didn't know that there was no *actual* reissue of the Stunticons (and even a fairly dedicated fan would feel the need to check that (http://highendtfs.com/?q=node/51)), this auction gave me the impression that it was a legitimate item. There is nothing on the entire listing that suggests it is a KO/counterfeit item, which would suck in a lot of people who may think that, of all the legitimate reissues we've had in the last 10 years, one could have been this set.
I might send them a message, out of curiosity, to see why they didn't mention on the listing that it was a fake... just to see what they answer with, or if they ignore me.

The guy even lists the item as being from the 1980s era, so is very deceptive indeed.


I had a look at their completed listings and feedback, and they only sell fakes, so should be shut down (if reporting to ebay does anything anymore).

(to be honest, I would have thought that it would be possible to purchase a loose set of legitimate stunticons for less than the $300 current bid price of that fake set)

Did you report the item Griffin? I just did despite there being only 22 hours left, hopefully ebay takes it down before some poor sap flushes their money down the toilet!

[griffin]

I did, and I sent a message... but the guy has since posted up another fake since I sent that message (with the same deceptive use of "reissue" as if that's an acceptable term for "Fake").
I'll report his other items, but since he's been doing it for a while, I doubt ebay will do anything about them, without Hasbro themselves reporting them.
(I'm reporting them as copyright violations, as the packaging and "Transformers" name is at least an indisputable breach of the law - even if the copying of the moulds is debated by fans, but is still just as illegal (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Knockoff#Legal_analysis_of_knockoffs))

[Demonac]

Or people here could just buy them, then refuse to pay as they are counterfeit items.
They'll stop listing them if they have that happen enough times.

[bowspearer]

And how do you know the scumbag wasn't getting his supplies from KO Toys to begin with. Furthermore you must have missed the auction where the KO Dino Cassettes were passed off as the real thing only a couple of weeks ago.

Let's not give KO Toys any credit they're undeserving of- they fueled this kind of scam infinitely more than they might have unintentionally stopped it.

No I didn't. KO toys have been around a lot longer on eBay than the above mentioned auction and the Dino Cassettes ;)


Let's not give KO Toys any credit they're undeserving of- they fueled this kind of scam infinitely more than they might have unintentionally stopped it.

I'm not giving them any credit, only saying that with the closure of one direct online source for KO's with fixed pricing - regardless of which site it was, we're likely to see an increase of unscrupulous sellers flocking to other online sources such as eBay.

I'd do that but dont know the deal with unpaid item strikes?

[bowspearer]

No I didn't. KO toys have been around a lot longer on eBay than the above mentioned auction and the Dino Cassettes ;)

And yet KOToys in the case of the Dino Cassettes, and every one of their projects listed, were not just the supplier but the manufacturer. On top of that, they were making not just the small stuff, but high end stuff. While it doesn't shut down all the manufacturers for them; the shutting down of KOToys is by its very nature, the removal (at least for now) of one of the KO manufacturers.


I'm not giving them any credit, only saying that with the closure of one direct online source for KO's with fixed pricing - regardless of which site it was, we're likely to see an increase of unscrupulous sellers flocking to other online sources such as eBay.

Other sources still exist (I'm sure I saw 2 others mentioned somewhere), however KOTous were also at the very least, the agents for the manufacturers of some of the KOs and so they were the supplying the very scammers you bring up.


PS. I can read your comment just fine without you having to 'bold' certain parts.

PS that 'bolding' was a general shot at KOToys ;)

@ bowspearer - Are you just arguing for the sake of arguing? I'm not even sure what point you are trying to make when it appears as though we are both against KO's :confused:

Oh, and when you're quoting one of my posts, I take that as a direct reply to me not to someone who may or may not even visit this forum.

[bowspearer]

@ bowspearer - Are you just arguing for the sake of arguing? I'm not even sure what point you are trying to make when it appears as though we are both against KO's :confused:

What you were saying was coming across as defending KOToys like they were just an online retailer, when in fact they were iirc, the actual manufacturers of some of the G1 counterfeits, and so your response in some ways was oxymoronic. I was simply addressing that point.

That's amazing, if legit (I don't think they were ever fully KOed). But since he's wanting a little over a thousand dollars for each figure, I wonder if it will sell. You can just imagine that they will go straight to be AFA graded... which would be the only way to make money off that hefty price tag.
(someone has already asked if he will sell four of them for "just" $500 each)

Yep - but look with the recent Hot Rod case find. They all went off to AFA and now AFA Hot Rods are everywhere! Great if youre buying one now. :D

If they were smart and looking to maximise profit they would have sold them off one at a time and not told anyone about the case.

Ya. Plus they would find it so much easier to sell them off individually. Can't say there's one too many people out there prepared to fork out 13k on a case of the same two figures.

[reillyd]

I would have called knock off, if I didn't see the photos of the box. But still...... is it really legit? That's a lot of money to pony up.

The "dream" of a long lost case of G1 toys turning up in a warehouse is something I think we've all had at some point or another. Blitzwing -has- been knocked off, I don't think Astrotrain has.........

Maybe Griffin i right - "if" its legit.

although the auction doesn't mention anything about it being the Japanese version.

From TFWiki:

In Japan, there are two different versions of this toy: one nearly identical to the Hasbro version, another with a more show-like coloration, lacking the green spots and purple paint, adding yellow to its beak, lightening the black plastic to gray, and changing the light red to a darker red.

Why didn't the basics get a run in the 10th Anniversary :( It makes me sad.

Its totally legit. But if you look at the blitzwings it appears some of the tape is already dired and krusty which puts off any decent AFA collector immediatly. Thers a big difference in a one ended taped item to both ends taped! :)

I've always liked the colour scheme, but I won't be going for it.

From TFWiki:

In Japan, there are two different versions of this toy: one nearly identical to the Hasbro version, another with a more show-like coloration, lacking the green spots and purple paint, adding yellow to its beak, lightening the black plastic to gray, and changing the light red to a darker red.

Why didn't the basics get a run in the 10th Anniversary :( It makes me sad.

I had no idea! I was just going from tfu.info's page (http://www.tfu.info/1996/Predacon/Terrorsaur/terrorsaur.htm) on Terrorsaur.

Maybe I'm just bummed because the "show accurate" one is one of the last Terrorsaurs I have to track down. :p

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we see a few new BW figures over the next year. Could you imagine a deluxe-sized original-inspised Classics-style Terrorsaur?! Mmmmmmmm... :rolleyes:

[griffin]

I'm more shocked at the fact that they are willing to ship worldwide... that's so rare in itself. Imagine the cost of shipping it all here.
If that lot goes for less than 100K, it's a bargain... and would likely be sold off individually on ebay later for profit.
(those items are all so minty sealed... I can't stop drooling - it would be a good starter for a TFs museum)

For what is likely to be the (continuously) longest running action figure toyline in the world, there really should be. Tomy have a "vault" of TFs, while Hasbro would have resources and a lot of the unused prototypes... it should be possible, but also a great ongoing marketing tool for the toyline (or toylines, if Hasbro made it a Hasbro toy museum, for variety).

I don't know if a permanent installation would be profitable in the long term but a travelling exhibition along the lines of the Harry Potter one at the Power house at the moment would be something they could present around the world every 5 - 10 years fairly successfully I think.

I had no problem......PayPal with EMS and it was here in just over a week compared to the last time a few years ago which was painful.

[1orion2many]

It's been a long time but if I remember rightly anything outside of the U.S wasn't recognised as a confirmed address so he wouldn't accept Paypal from me, Ended up having to do it the old fashioned way of a International money order, Very painful and drawn out. If what Valk says is true they may have fixed this problem, You won't know until you go to pay though.

Mind you, what is even crazier is that I won it on a 2nd Chance Offer! :eek:
I don't know guys, something in the last month has made a consorted effort to get this figure to me and at an amazing price and completion level too... This tune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjwI9Oz0yl0&feature=related) immediately comes to mind. :p

Does this seem odd to anyone else?

[canofwhoopass_87]

lol there is absolutely no way in hell that an unopened shipping box from 1987 was discovered at a Toys r Us after "some shelving was moved". I used to work in a big retail store during my uni days and that's just a ridiculous claim. A case of Fort Max (which I'm sure would've came as 2 Fort Maxes per case) is absolutely enormous and near impossible to stay hidden for 25 years. Not only that, but he has 3 in total. Did he find 1 and a half cases of Fort Maxes?

Other holes in his auction

- The pictured Fort Max is acryllic encased. Convenient for them to have one handy!

- "a team member of ours actually found the items and put price tags on them and a young boy actually purchased the fortress maximus for 79.99" - after so long in "storage", the bardcode wouldn't even register on the system.

- "stil sealed and waiting for you! its in perfect condition with no flaws dings or tears!" - sounds like this guy is a collector.

I feel really bad for the people who have already placed bids :(

[Tallestblue]

But is it a legit Fort Max is my question?

[canofwhoopass_87]

But is it a legit Fort Max is my question?

Fort Max has never been knocked off. The seller has 0 feedback and is attempting to sell off a super mint sealed in box G1 Fort Max. It's more likely to be a scam than anything else.

Keen eyed U.S fans are probably going to get the auction pulled eventually methinks!

[jazzy_josh]

Is it just me or does this really sound like a bad scam? First thing that raises my alarms are, why woulda young kid want this bot if they have not seen it on tv? No advertisement no need to want it. Second why if they have more then one why do they not list them on ebay? also this quote here "we have 2 more fortress maximus still in the box and we auctioning them off as employee of the month incentive prizes!" why would they be auctioning them off as employee of the month prizes? The store wont give the money to the person so why do this? Also am I seeing things but it looks like the box is inside a clear casing, can any one else see this?

I am sorry guys but I think this is a scam and I feel sorry for those who have bidded on it.

[5FDP]

The first rule of collecting is if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I would be very hesitant in believing someone on eBay with zero feedback saying that he just unearthed a MISB Fort Max.

I can't be completely certain, but I believe I have seen the picture in the auction somewhere before as well.

@ jazzy_josh - Acrylic cases are often used by collectors to protect / preserve rare or expensive items. A company called AFA in America is known for grading and encasing Transformers and other collectables for a fee. This has the effect of increasing the value of the collectable as well, especially if it receives a high rating from AFA.

Fortress Maximus was packed one per case. The seller is an idiotically implausible asshole scammer who even bought this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/220935596144) Brave Maximus with the 'profits' from his scam. I hope PayPal rips this guy's dodgy profits straight back off him. And whoever 'bought' the Fortress Maximus for $1425 is a moron.

[Sky Shadow]

This is elaborate: http://www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=23684

A clever use of the Iron Man/Captain America Crossovers toy - I wonder if Hasbro/BotCon are allowed to reissue non Crossover versions with Transformers heads, or if there's some sort of Marvel exclusivity to the moulds.

Many sellers dont describe their items properly and dont get what they should.

you shouldn't bid on it because it doesn't have enough shiny blue... That's all I got.

Wasn't it an ehobby release:confused:

[griffin]

It'd be a knock-off. Jazz wasn't done in clear plastic. Actually, I don't recall any figure being released in plain clear plastic like that.
The seller has listed other "custom" items in the past (according to his feedback page) including these weird reproductions (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/270867716851).
(that ehobby release you may be thinking of, would be that gold coloured one)

Yeah I think you're right Griff, I can understand a gold lagoon version of Soundwave, but I don't want to know what lagoon that "dark silver" Soundwave got dipped in! His current other items are pretty sus too, clear starscream for €750 and clear skywarp and thundercracker for €800.

[griffin]

The clear seekers didn't show up when I had a look last night, but yeah, they are all KOs - and very expensive KOs (the guy must think that they are something special because they are rare).

Only had the first release Scouge with blue gun variant
Would not mind getting a Target master Scrouge variant later on

Cool mate... I didn't mean any offense with my first post (as much as i hate to sound like I'm back-peddling now). I didn't really see the bag of parts. but it definitely looks like it paid off for you!! I've actually just bought a Fracus for Scourge and cost me 70 bucks! so if anyone is burning their money It's probably me...

I can see 1AZRAEL1 being all over this. It would make a great display for Living Dead Dolls also ;)

I so should not have clicked on that :p

But sadly only pickup in VIC :(

[canofwhoopass_87]

Gosh I wouldn't even pay that much for an AFA one. That truly is insane! Though I'd have to check the AFA population report... maybe there aren't any sealed prerub bumblebees out there (in this condition anyway)

[Danzvader78]

That is insane.

I used to have that toy back when I was a kid.. If had known it would been a $2,000 figure I would had done something about it :)

The buyer is a collector of pre-rubs and intends on getting it graded.

[Doubledealer]

Woah, Bumblebee collectors truly are nuts in the mind! :p

Had a bit of luck on eBay today I did (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/270902671270?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649). More Animated is always a good thing! :D

Cheers Hursti, he's usually quite pricey due to his rarity so I think I got lucky!

[griffin]

With shipping included, that's cheaper than a regular deluxe toy here (even if it is out of packaging), it was indeed difficult to find at the time of its release.

[kup]

Yowch. The prices some of those those went for is just depressing. That's the rest of Newausbot78's collection that he didn't sell here. Some people got some crazy bargains:

I have a feeling that he lacks total knowledge of what he is selling which would explain why his sales thread here was so poorly handled as well as the way he sold his stuff on ebay.

Could it be that this isn't his collection and has actually inherited it from someone?

[Hursticon]

Cheers Hursti, he's usually quite pricey due to his rarity so I think I got lucky!

That's excellent to hear man, it is an incredibly euphorias feeling when something that rare comes to you at such a good cost (compared to the norm) huh? :D

Tinyjazz has pointed one of those out to me a month or so ago; I'd be tempted if it was about $30 cheaper but as it stands, I'm pretty happy with the regular Activator I got. :)

Well worth the attention of those of you who are well into your Animated stuff though. ;):cool:

They've been turning up on and off for the last year. same seller, I don't know how many he has, I offered him $40 before Christmas and never got a reply.

I now wish I'd just bought one as he seems to have sold out. I imagine he'll have another up in a month or two. I hope so, I'll have the money to spend in a month or two also.

I was thinking about having a shot at that one. The box is a bit different to all the others i've seen. hope the quality is there.

Apparently there are no markings on it and it is made entirely of plastic. I think i'll give it a miss.
