    This is something that I believe is almost a cultural misunderstanding. It would seem that the KO manufacturers are not trying to maliciously "fool" anyone but rather they are simply trying to recreate things as faithfully as possible. It's the dishonest sellers trying to pass them off as "genuine originals" who are doing the fooling.

    "Officer, this is just a cultural misunderstanding. We were just innocently trying to recreate these cigarettes, this money and these medicines as faithfully as possible. We never imagined that anyone would actually try to fool anyone with them by pretending they were authentic."

    Apples and oranges.

    Cigarettes, money and medicines are in no way comparable to 20+ year old children's toys in terms of motivation for making them and the market that's buying them.

    The manafacturers of KOs don't pretend that they are authentic... *some* sellers do.

    I agree. Its not the makers. I for one am really glad we have these KO's of rare TF's. Its the sellers who say they are legit who are the bad guys.

    This in depth guide for spotting differences between originals and these high quality KO's should prove extremely useful for many of us

    Wow some of those fake sellers can be really rude, I bid on a loose Metroplex & won it without really paying much attention and not realising that the user had 0 feedback and was also the seller of these fake boxed items

    Fake Scourge facing the wrong way lol

    Fake Cyclonus

    Fake Mirage

    Fake Swoop

    And actually manages to have not 1 but 2 complete G1 Jetfire's

    Jetfire 1

    Jetfire 2


    I mainly was asking about the fact that he has 0 feedback and was trying to gather if he was a legitimate seller & said I noticed his other items were fakes, and below is the reply I recieved

    (excuse the language as I copied and pasted from my ebay messages)
    what the f*ck,,, do you want to cancel the transaction?? if people
    really think that there getting a transformer thats worth $4,000 for
    a hundred then who's in the wrong??... im happy to repost and
    who the f*ck are you
    - renlabmelburn1

    I have reported him to ebay & hope he gets banned, I'm guessing the reason he has 0 feedback is he keeps getting banned for selling fake TF's, just makes me sick to see people like that person doing so
