Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[Autocon]

Was it sealed when you bought it, and who did you buy it from (you should ask them about it).

it was sealed, i bought it at the fair remember the box was wraped in plastic ill ask the seller. instructions were photocopied for leo lion aswell

Is yours a Japanese or Korean version? Because Sonokong is notorious for screwing up tech spec cards (i.e. incorrect or missing cards).

If you're not sure how to tell the difference then this might help:
+ Lio Convoy vs. Galvatron in Japanese box
+ Lio Convoy & Galvatron in Korean boxes

I think it was in the JP box (if memory serves), so it was probably resealed if he said it was sealed.

The Japanese box single pack Lio-convoy I got (sourced from Singapore) many years ago also had techspec card missing and instruction sheet that was just a photocopy. Mine was even missing the rub-sign. O_o

Got Autocon's PM regarding the missing biocards.
That 2 pack I sold to him has been MISB since I purchased it years ago when Beast Wars II was first released.
It's a Japanese release and not the Korean one.
It's impossible for the instructions to be "photocopied" as I trust the sellers I'd bought them from originally and never had an issue with all my prior purchases that I'd ever decided to open (and no seller then would bother about photocopying instructions to toys that were readily available on the market).
Autocon, I honestly suggest that you check the box thoroughly and that these suggestions that instructions are "photocopied" should not be suggested loosely as that places my integrity on the line.
I have never and I will NEVER photocopy instructions nor will I go through the hassle to reseal boxes to rip anyone off.
If it's MISB, I'll state it's MISB... if it's MIB, it's MIB... and if it's loose, it's loose.
No 2 ways around it.
I believe I'd sold other BW items to people on this forum at Nexus and this is quite honestly the first I'm hearing of this.
Your post insinuates that I'd sold you a KO Beast Wars item when what I'd sold you was a bloody genuine Takara product that's been in my collection for years!

[Kyle]

I don't believe and am not suggesting that you knowingly sold a toy with missing parts to Autocon. But I suggest that a batch of MISB BWII toys distributed in Asia might not have their techspec cards, rub-sign, or printed instructions (only photocopy quality ones) put in by the factory. I have this idea because a single MISB Lio-convoy I purchased in 2000 from a shop elsewhere also had very similar problems.

That's strange. It should be. And you should see a sculpted indent for where the sticker is placed too, even if it's missing. This photo shows Lio Convoy's rub sign and its location.
