Interesting, rare and sometimes cheap ebay items.

Definitely looks suspicious... selling a lot of cheap underwear and sunnies two months ago hoping to get some quick legit feedback, and now selling a heap of expensive Transformers without any sign of them being a toy dealer (and not having a mix of both during all that time).

it's also very interesting that he has boxed MP megs for sale as well, possibly a re-release in the works.

I just remembered what I noticed yesterday... the Decepticon symbol is red, so it's definitely a Mirror-verse figure, so odds are it is a Fun-Pub or Ehobby exclusive.

Does anyone remember offhand, if Mirror-verse Rumble or Frenzy are brown?

Never mind, I just looked it up - Frenzy is apparently Eject's colours (dark blue), and Rumble is thought to be Rewind's colours (black) but the only frame shows him surrounded by fire, so he looks brown.

Maybe it's Shattered Glass Enemy... for ultimate obscurity. :p

The only thing we can surmise is that Hasbro does not put locks on their factories :p

Thanks for the heads up, even though I'm not in that market at the moment. The seller history isn't particularly great, 6 sales.

interesting to see if this seller exists in 6 months or even 2 months.

I like the randomness of not knowing what will show up on your doorstep. It's kinda like a lucky dip :p

The Santa hat thing was rather amusing. I had a mix of feeling sorry for them and a "Well what did you expect???" attitude. I mean one guy spent hundreds of dollars :rolleyes:

The thing about the people going for these ones is that they're bidding $300 on the same "Custom" listed three times, described as "Brand new and unopened" from a seller in China with a feedback rating of '3' from six $1 items. If these are serious bidders (and they look to be from their own feedback scores) then I own potplants with higher IQs.

And then in a couple months time, after they've got their thousands of dollars and shut down that account, they'll be doing it all again, knowing how easy it is to make quick bucks of some of these rare and/or expensive toys in our fandom.
(in other words, it's never going to stop under the current ebay registration, payment and dispute processes, and my advice as always is never buy from someone new, or with a very small or zero feedback score, especially from China... but it applies everywhere though)
