Interesting, rare and sometimes cheap ebay items.

Does anyone dare break it to this seller that he has a bunch of 1991/1992 Chinese G1's?

I think even the El Greco ones came out later too.

Looks like somebody did afterall. Starscream's now listed at $7000UsD

Yes. In fact several Human Alliance fakes seem to to have hit the streets up here (Hong Kong) recently, especially Barricade, so beware. I walked into a shop the other day with "new" older movie stock from ROTF and DoTM and every single one was fake.
Whilst I know the recent Hasbro Asia release of Barricade has been popular I'm not sure why the other fakes are making a resurgence right now as well.

This is sad. Especially the third photo.

There's also this one for MP Grimlocks.
Even if it does help draw attention/customers to their listing like we've done here by pointing it out to others, I just don't think I'd do it because it would give me a bad reputation of being a toy scalper. (a lot of the soundwaves are still in separate TRU bags, so they didn't just order a bulk lot from a wholesaler... they went around the stores in their area and bought them all up before anyone else could get to them)

I once showed off a group photo of a rare toy (Alternator Rodimus), but that was after they were all bought for other fans at the same price I paid... so there was no scalping involved. This person with the soundwaves looks to have prevented everyone in and around Vancouver (Canada) from getting one at the approximately Retail US$120. (each of his sold Soundwaves have been US$220-250 - about double his investment from just 18 months)
