    Does anything change on the page if someone reports it?

    Searching for TF's on ebay is a minefield and collectors need to help each other and report these guys.
    MEGATRON Without PRIME is like Bacon without Eggs.

    Yeah it's fake, because of the "Bommander" on box which Paul mentioned. Also it's too good to be true for "new" 1980s mint in box dinobots. If there is, they are very hard to find or are those super expensive AFA graded ones.

    I think I might have to 'win' these, like I did with that Mirage.

    The starbursts are also way overdone too. The black bar behind the "Transformers" logo beneath the front window is the wrong length too (too short).

    Here's what a real G1 Grimlock box looks like:


    And here's a KO:

    If I'm not wrong, most if not all the Dinobots have been KO-ed. Definitely something to watch out for because sometimes, even the sellers themselves believe them to be the real thing.

    A seller was trying to sell me a KO MIB Prime for $250 at CSC. I said, you do know that is a bootleg yes? And he looked and sounded like he had no idea it was fake (or maybe he's faking, who knows).

    gotta love how KOs are now frequently listed as REISSUES.

    I can't believe that these sold for 250-350 dollars each, after all the reports we sent to ebay.

    Well done for picking up the KO's ebay - give your employers at the dispute and fraud department a Christmas bonus.
