Fake Wheeljack

[Vector Prime]

This is the response I got from the selller re: MISB Wheeljack:

"im just positive as the box states 1984, and a mate opened 1 and it
is stamped takara 1980-1982.. thanks "

What a jock...

We really need a thread to help fellow board members spot out the obvious and the not so obvious differences b/w these high quality KO's and originals. Not just the boxes themselves, but figures as well.

Anyone know how to tell the difference between an original and a KO loose complete gnaw?

There was a topic somewhere that had a few links to existing websites identifying KOs. I'll have to find it (and any other applicable links) and re-post in this section (when I get a chance to catch up on things now that I'm back).

Can I PM the ebay dude this thread so he can see our awesome community service?

Is this the same seller under a different name? Note how they've even misspelled Components as 'Compenants'.

lol, the rear wheel is completely different to the front (unless it is due to the flash).

The all-caps description is a give away that it is fake, and the fact he/she says it is stamped 1982 Takara without opening the box...

Good spotting ... Thats such a giveaway ... Suprised it hasnt been pulled yet .

Some part of me just wants to keep an eye on it to see if anyone bids. I'm feeling a little sadistic.
