More KO - Wheeljack listed as 'reissue'

[1AZRAEL1]

IMO, I think they list it as Reissue and not mention KO so they can try to slip under the radar. It's annoying for fans that are not clued in on fakes and such, as I was before I started to post here and became more activley involved. And my friend Hursticon nearly got a 'reissue' Shockwave only a few weeks ago before I pointed out it was a KO listed as reissue. Needless to say he did not pay for it and it was sorted out, as I know he does not want a KO in his collection, because as with me, there would always be a niggling feeling in the back of your mind telling you it is a fake.

To me, it is the uninformed that suffer when they buy one and they later find out it is not legit.

Yeah, I heard about that, Hursticon (he's a loyal customer of mine) coming real close to getting fooled by a KO shockwave...

Looking deeper, there's definetely a wrong choice of words in this listing... If the words KO, Knock Off, Counterfeit, Unlicensed Reproduction were used then it'd be automatically removed. Obviously the seller wants to part with it, but whether he's doing it maliciously or otherwise is the point at issue...he DID use the term reissue, and as many others have illustrated, that's blatantly incorrect for this...but he also said "for those who cannot afford the REAL ONE in box" clearly indicating that it's not REAL. Ah well. At least ALL of us are AWARE that it's not real.

The uninformed suffer no matter the industry...whether they're buying cars (especially cars!), TFs, coins and gold...

What Hasbro/TT should do is either:

a) Hire mercenaries to blow up the KO factories (hope they have insurance!). Hell, all you need is petty and a lighter!
b) Buy them out (Potentially very costly and time consuming)

I would prefer option A!
