PM'd about Sunstreaker and Wheeljack.

Ebay scum...
Sorry you got stung Crankcase, as I'm guessing Paulbot is telling you about those being passed off as originals, when in fact they are both KOs. This is how to spot the fake Gen1 cars, using Wheeljack as an example... And for everyone looking to buy Gen1 toys - check out the five links we have here. And if that doesn't help, just ask us... someone might know.

Got my 2012 BotCon boxset today & yesterday got SG G2 Optimus Prime, Kick-Off & SG Straxus. Aiming to add SG Junkions shortly

Where would I put up custom paint jobs? Just completed Breakdown, Bugbite & Dreadwind (all classics bodies).

put your custom pics up in Grapples Creative Stuff and Collections..

Crankster,,Contact the guys you got them from. at least let them know that you know..
you could open a case if they have stated they're original..
no guarantee's but worth a shot
if you got them a reasonable price it's not too bad, i'm not sure what actual misb originals would go for but i would think those original ones would be at least 350 - 550 each.. maybe more.

Crankster, I second G-rock's idea. Even if you got them at a reasonable price letting them know may change how they present their wares and force them to be more honest in future.

Latest TFsource article had a link. Down the bottom of the page they have some AFA graded misbs. Minus maybe $200 and you are probably looking at that price un graded.

I hope you can get your money back Crankcase. Always best to check with experienced board members when buying vintage, especially MISB.

[GoktimusPrime]

Dont open them! We need to preserve the MISB originals

I'd say open open OPEN! But now it's turned out that they're just lousy fakes. I hope everything can work out for crankcase76. Pardon my ignorance of all things eBay, but is it possible to demand a refund?

I think you can open a dispute and maybe get your money back if they went out of their way to pass these off as original G1 items but don't quote me on that

[Ultra Mackness]

You can open a dispute if the item is "significantly different" from what the buyer expected. This can sometimes be a grey area, but if the seller has represented the item as genuine G1 and not a reissue G1 or KO then I would think that there is a case.
