And knowing is half the battle.... the other half, well llamatron paid the price to know it

What a fool - trying to act all casual and noble like he's doing the right thing by pulling the auction... Too bad he forgot his first story (that it was from his Dad's collection) and also that the fact that many of us (myself included) reported the item and ebay forced him to take it down!

Loser!!

Good thing this one hasn't been bidded on yet.

But that one isn't trying to hide the fact that is is a KO... it says "reissue" which is what is often used to describe KOs.

I suppose it's subjective?
You see to me, the term 'Reissue' being used is purely because the term knock-off obviously suggests something negative and hence, whilst maybe not intentional, is still a form of concealment.

You are bidding on an as new and complete set Shockwave, open for curiosity but never really played with.

This line just suggests to me that the seller knows more than what he's letting on, IMO.

Oh, yeah I agree. But be aware of any auction that says "reissue", because it is often used to describe KOs. Sometimes they say "chinese reissue". I guess they technically are a reissue of sorts, since they're using the same moulds most of the time, but they're certainly not an official reissue.

With Shockwave it is easy to tell, since he's never had an official reissue.

Calling them 'reissues' or 'Chinese reissues' is just a way of lying to get around eBay's listing policies. There are genuine Chinese reissues, but this isn't one.

I agree with Sky Shadow. There's a big difference between an official reproduction (reissue) and a counterfeit (KO).

And just because a Transformer is a Chinese version, doesn't necessarily mean it's fake as there are legit Chinese reissues of Transformers (reference)
