    No point keeping the original packaging if the item has already been opened IMHO - it's become a used item and wouldn't command any more on the secondary market (unless it was an absolute vintage G1).

    For me, I wouldn't pay a premium for a BIB item that was offered for sale (whereas MISB/MOSC is a different story).

    Are these Metroplex legit? Or are they the knock off?
    It's also available at a cheaper price from Robot Kingdom if you're interested in obtaining one.

    Actually Tets, they could be knockoffs - it's too hard to tell from those photos. You'd have to check the indented registration number to know for sure:

    Thanks for all the input guys, i would look to getting one from RK to limit the possibility of it being a KO, most of the ones on ebay have limited photos and come from china. Doe's anyone know if the knockoffs all have the same id number on the back, H2208?

    I believe that's right - if it doesn't say H2208 it should be fine. Good luck!

    Hmm i've just been reading through that thread and they say that is a batch number and can still be legit if it has that number. Hard to believe they can package it as Takara without being sued.

    ZOMFG!
    Is nothing sacred. Wow, glad I got mine on release. I just assumed that anyone making knockoffs would copy G1 packaging...

    Me quite shocked.

    Has anyone ordered from Amiami before?

    Reliability? Shipping costs?

    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks mate - just waiting on their reply email with total EMS shipping cost for 5 United figures.

    Hopefully it's reasonable
