Interesting, rare and sometimes cheap ebay items.

Some of the rarest Japanese transformers here. Pitty he doesnt want to sell them, considering his prices. Does he just want to show off he has them?

All of them are a bit scummy as well, if someone in Australia has all those Japanese exclusives they know exactly what going on.

Nothing like a cheap animation cell for those who dream of having one

Yes it is. C-888 on the packaging is the indicator for the Knock Off.

I almost bought one at BotCon several years ago before I knew of that number, so I then had it in bold lettering on my wantlist to make sure I didn't get stung later.

The real number on a real box is C-348. (I found it easier just to remember NOT to buy 888).

(the seller does have a very vague description that could mean that he is aware that it is a "reissue", but it isn't very clear... and uses the word "vintage" in the title to make people think it is the original 1980s release )

this just popped up whilst searching.... this guy needs a slap with reality

That's a past Deluxe member too, so it should have been in a good home and looked after.

You'll find that number is at least over 10

Is every Japanese item accounted for here? Anyone have a battle Gaia set in aus?

I don't think we do have at least one of everything in Australia at the moment, after HeroicDecepticon left with a gold-mine of rarities.

We had a topic somewhere about who has what, but we didn't keep track of who actually has what... so as people left the country or left the fandom (sold off their items), that old topic is "out of date".

It's something I've been meaning to re-do, in a way that keeps track of how many of each we have, by way of knowing who has the more obscure and rare items throughout the Brand (not just the Japanese ones).
I'll see if I can whip up something this weekend, and see how, or if, the idea works.
