Human Alliance Barricade

Hi Guys,

As you might of read recently there has been a lot of claims that Human Alliance Barricades going on EBAY are KOs.
I have been looking for a HA Barricade forever and when I found these on EBAY I was very wary but decided to message one of the sellers.
After multiple messages I was convinced he was on the level, the item indeed genuine and at $29.99 + $27.99 postage the price was pretty decent.
I opted to buy the item.
I received the item tonight and though I am yet to open it I have looked over the package very closely comparing it with pictures on seibertron.com to verify colouring, detailing etc.
I can honestly say I am convinced it is indeed genuine (as the seller initially stated in his messages).

As such I would like to share my fortune with the community as I am sure there are plenty of collectors who are still looking for this piece.

Now I would like to re-iterate I am yet to open Barricade and so still remain somewhat pessimistic but so far my suspicions of it being a KO are waning. Furthermore this is not an advertisement for cheap genuine Barricades, it is merely an expression of my fortune in purchasing an item which to my eye appears every bit as genuine as a genuine Hasbro Barricade.

As such any collectors out there looking for a HA Barricade I would recommend looking at the EBAY seller: easylove-loveeasy he currently has 10 Barricades available at the same price I bought mine for.
Though his english wasn't amazing it was sufficient to discuss the item at length with him and left me confident that the Barricade being sent was legit.

I would encourage you to have a look :)

I will update this thread with details / pictures of the Barricade as soon as I open him.

I heard about these too, and whilst I was in HK I went to several TF specialist retailers that sold HA Barricade at some very cheap prices - lowest was just less than $30AUD. The shop owners told me that they were not aware of any KO's on that mold, and that it was cheap because it was older stock, and it did come packaged with the very unattractive HA Leadfoot. I eyed them for a very long time and from what I could could see the plastic quality and packaging looked legit. Did read up on some guides on spotting KO's but it was not very helpful. The differences were too subtle.

Unfortunately I did not end up getting it because I was too skeptical and also because I was seriously low on luggage space at that stage. Has anyone else come across a HA Barricade KO?

Have you put up the pics yet...?

I think they would get the packaging dead on... so it would make it hard to confirm / deny a KO...

According to this guy, you can expect a few more QC issues and a Frenzy that doesn't stand properly.
