robotkingdom is selling seaspray "loose figure"

[griffin]

These are legit toys, just stolen/unauthorised release. It just means that they are already in production and someone at the factory has smuggled them out (like other pre-release toys we see on ebay, and then on the global forums). The only difference this time is that we are seeing a larger amount of figures than usual.
The same happened with the first Movie Ice Megatron - there were a heap of that figure snuck out a couple months before its arrival at stores, and RK was selling that one as well.

With production moving to Vietnam this year, this might be one of the last stolen figures to make it to ebay/online-stores.

I would bet real monies that this will not be the case

Didn't RK do this with the Universe 2.0 deluxe figures as well? Charging 30US each for a loose complete one?

So... either pay 40USD + postage for a _loose_ stolen Seaspray... or pay 40-50AUD (and no postage) for a MISB Seaspray from your local store. Tough choice eh?

Depends on what security at the Vietnamese factory will be like - but I hope you're right.

As a person who doesn't like to deal with Hasbro Voyager and larger boxes, selling a loose complete figure is perfect. Less shipping cost as well espy if bundled with other things.

However the high asking price puts me off ...a loose figure should be cheaper than MISB.

Well, for a while at least until the new employees work out the system that the last factory employees had. Which might take some time, as they would need to find where best to sell the stuff they pinch from the factory - if they have access to ebay, it would take a few 'test' listings first, as I doubt any would be toy fans to have already known the demand that exists online.

Had a large chuckle with the most recent iPhone leaks coming out of the new Vietnam manufacturing centres.
