Interesting, rare and sometimes cheap ebay items.

This local "original" defensor giftset is a fake. Hope no one here is bidding

I agree, however one thing intrigues me...why would a recent issue fake gift set such as this have sticker wear of that nature (although it's only slight)? The toys themselves (if you can visualize them without the stickers) look a bit TOO clean...It could be that he's discovered this and he's been stooged and is trying to offload it. The informed buyer will know what it really is however.

For those wanting a REAL Defensor giftset (and don't mind differing languages), I've seen some sealed Greek ones going for a relatively fair price floating around on eBay. I think 700-800 will do it. Not bad at all for a sealed giftset!

This whole issue is why I buy Japanese versions, because I KNOW I'm safe with them JP Edition fakes would be considerably more trouble to produce me thinks

Guys, a heads up!

A collector over at TFW is selling 95% of his collection. I have known him for some time, he is a VERY fussy collector... which means that all his stuff is in no less than tip-top shape.

He is selling THOUSANDS of Transformers from G1 throughout all lines.

His stuff can be seen here.

His handle on TFW is HighPrime.

He has so far, only gave notice privately to a select few. He is going to broadcast publicly on TFW tomorrow (and you know what happens when TFW sees these things, they get snapped up within hours, no joke).

So, I am having trouble figuring out how to contact him at the moment, has he set up an email address for this or is it solely on the forum there? so I've signed up to the forum now and contacted him. sooo much stuff, I hope my lottery ticket comes through. otherwise it's just picking a couple bits and hope that he's happy for the relatively small sale.

Did you try contacting him?

Looks like the shill bidding was removed as it is back at the $200 mark again.

good that the seller did the right thing, unlike some other people

Yep sure did, will see what comes of it. Actually I think ive had an overdose of TF's and are now looking at some specific G1 merchandise items

already struck a risky deal with this seller, auction should cancel tomorrow afternoon.

So now that you've struck a risky deal are there any figures you would be interested I in passing on.

I know it's been removed, I was the winning bidder this morning and then it was cancelled.
