I guarantee you 100% that it is a KO / reproduction box and not legit.

Please do not email me asking if this is a reissue box or not because I can not tell the difference and I do not own one of my own to compare.

Heh, nice way of working around the system :p :rolleyes:

Pfft... if he was an honest seller, do your bloody research is what I say.

The differences are obvious :rolleyes:

I have never noticed the differences, but then again, I have never decided to chase down boxes :p If any figure I buy comes with the box, I'll keep it, but I am not fussed. And the ones I have I know are legit because some I got a long time ago, and the more recent ones I got off Jgon :D

To assist people with identifying KO vs real giftsets, refer to the below links -

Zhong Jin (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/145767-g1-devastator-box-original-vs-reproduction.html)
Kidi (http://highendtfs.com/images/idguide_kt_dev/coloring.jpg) Toys (http://highendtfs.com/images/idguide_kt_dev/fonts.jpg)

In the case of the above Ebay auction, you'll notice that the grey boarder surrounding the Devastator box art is absent. This is the Zhong Jin version and the easiest to identify due to this omission. There are also yellow and orange versions as well which are easy to spot because these were not made available as a giftset.

Also be wary of the carded versions (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=142649#post142649).
