There I was thinking you'd get all the ones in the picture, then read winner get a choice of 1 of the figures. Stupid way to do an auction IMO.

Yup - and reportable

Listing practices > Avoiding fees > Offering choices.

What I'd expect from the seller formally known as diaclone-city.

Crap! I didn't even read it. I would've expected them all (and been severely disappointed) good thing i've come to realisation there is no chance of getting all the variations out there. :o Do you think you would ever find these things cheap at Brazilian car boot sales/markets or Brazilian Good Samaritans:p

At the price those two auctions are already at with five days to go, I bet there are a few bidders who didn't realise they are only getting one, not four.

I was expecting that for the 4 as a reasonable price, but alas, this is ebay after all...:p;)

Bait and switch? Would this listing be violating any eBay policies?

They're pitting buyers of different figure against each other to aggregate demand.

Here's one that falls into the category of rare:

I've only seen this come up once before on ebay, it's a good one for the ardent G1 collector :)

It's the Japanese soundtrack to the series (not the movie):

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Original_Soundtrack:_Music_Book

I picked one up a couple of years ago. The cover art is magnificent and it comes with a booklet containing the tech spec bios of the G1 characters (I guess, I can't read Japanese Kanji :o). The music is .... Interesting, with some catchy tunes, but again, I don't understand Japanese so I didn't know what they were singing about (I guess it was transformers though!). One thing that is different with records sold in Japan was the presence of a band of paper containing info about the record which is often missing/damaged.

I have a few music related TF merch items, but this the prize, it's just too cool!
