Fake Wheeljack

I would like to believe the seller who says it isn't a knock off, but it is too cheap for an original MISB Wheeljack:

From the item description:
ORIGINAL 1984 WHEELJACK MINT SEALED BOX, NOT A CHEAP KNOCK OFF, METAL COMPONENT'S STAMPED 80-82 JAPAN

If the item is MISB, how does he know what date is on the metal parts?

Oh dear. While the bootlegs are becoming sharper, the scammers are getting even dumber. :rolleyes: Maybe when he says 'NOT A CHEAP KNOCK OFF' he means it's an EXPENSIVE knock off. :p

Funny s**t! :p

And just for a bit of amusement, I just messaged them about the same thing:

Hi,

If this item is mint and in a sealed box, how do you know that it is stamped on the metal components?

Cheers

I'll see what response I get.

You just need to look at the grid print on the box; there should be exactly 3 boxes above and 3 boxes below the window. If there are 2.66 above and 3.34 below it's fake without question.

I know it's pretty well established that seller's a joke, but it's a handy guide to remember when looking at Wheeljacks.

This is definatly a KO.. Above the word FORMERS on the flap it should have a (TM) not an (R) and TheHandsomeCrab is also right about the grids on the box .. Ive compared the pic to my Original and they are clearly different.

Note the 3 box theory
