    I've messaged him and his reply was: "thats how i received the item myself. i have never opened it myself so did not notice if the tape had been cut. to me it never made a difference so i never noticed"

    I'm trying to work something out with him at the moment, but I'm somewhat disappointed - even contemplating returning it if he gives me a full refund.

    I purchased a MISB and received a MIB - Hound was meant to stay sealed for all of his eternity in his plastic and cardboard prison.
    This is dodgy. There's a HUGE difference between misb and mib...how can you sell something as misb without ever checking it to see if it's misb? Hopefully you can work something out with the seller.

    Congrats on getting Hound man. Sucks about the MISB/MIB thing. A piece of tape matters less and less to me now, but he should give you some form of partial refund or refund, just out of principle!

    Another day, another Transformer... wandered around, and picked up another Generations Scourge (my third) and the FansProject G3 trailer for HK$499 (AU$65), pretty good price.

    Will try best for tomorrow. Damn, I can't remember where I saw the Superion appendage kits... was only about HK$500.

    I'm having a hard time finding Scourges too... prices around HK$139-168. Varies. Are you in HK already?

    Yeah the guy claims not to be a 'hardcore collector' so doesn't even know the difference between MISB and MIB apparently ~ he wasn't aware of what the significance of a piece of sticky tape means.

    Nonetheless, he's offered to refund me the postage costs, which I have declined since it's obvious that he may not actually be a collector and has no idea (by offering a partial refund is good enough in my books, so I'll let it slide).

    Happy to get Hound anyway, so the price doesn't matter to me all that much at the end of the day seeing as the item is complete and bar the cut sticky tape, is still as minty fresh as you can get.

    Got an Optimus Prime bobblehead courtesy of a friend who's returned from the states. The articulation is impressive!

    It's funny how these things work out!
    Did it work out cheaper?
