    Dude I was up thinking about that. I got a little nervous because the seller does have one negative recently and all of his prices are slashed by about 20%. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt because that negative could have come from an impatient buyer...well see. Either way I can get my money back, I'm not worried. Its the stuff you have to go through to get it back. I'll keep you updated and I'll post pics of what comes in the mail.

    I bought a bunch of stuff recently from him with no issues. The one negative feedback was something about product not matching description. Probably the wrong set of the figures since there's a few variations on it. Having said that I always do keep a reasonable index of suspicion even for the good sellers. All part of being an educated consumer. I wouldn't worry about your purchase. If you're concerned just email him and it usually gets the tracking going.

    He's legit. You're in good hands. Sometimes he slashes prices temporarily. I received my XTB Paean from him last weekend and tomorrow Aegis should arrive.

    Yes, been wanting one for my collection. Flaws and all. Once I get my refund, I figured that I will pull the trigger again.

    I haven't tried it just yet because I'm going to give it a few days to run into the system. It's great yours arrived though!

    Ebay seller wu_dl987-0 seems legit.

    I've bought both a J Master J Supreme Commander (OS KO Classics Prime) and a Wei Jiang Alcee (OS KO Generations Arcee) from him/her in the past month and both were new items received within 7-10 days. Only been a seller since 2016 with not many reviews which gives me potential "going rogue" concerns, and I haven't tried buying any official Hasbro/Takara Transformers from him/her yet, but at this moment they're 100% legit in my book.

    I think it is the about the same price for Baba if you get his automatic $5 off $70 discount.
    Either way it is a much better deal than $90 + shipping that US retailers were charging almost 2 years ago.
    I've switched to Chinese Ebay sellers like netclow and baba for Badcube minibots long ago.

    I made a purchase on June 11 and have received a tracking number. The number hasn't updated yet. Previous board feedback on that seller was was good, so we'll see. I've had some numbers take two weeks to update, so we're not in the danger zone yet.

    Bought the Nemesis repaint of Wei Jiang's OS Evasion Prime from ebay seller wzwu66886. However, this was on Thursday and had not received an update. Gave him a chase this afternoon and have just received a tracking number and the following response:

    The guy has pretty solid feedback so hope it's legit.

    I got a feeling yanna998 has gone rogue. Look at the last feedback. I made a purchase over two weeks ago and the tracking number is still not valid.

    I'm in the same boat. Item marked shipped on the 4th but it's still coming up as not valid.

    Emailed yanna several times but no response. Thinking about calling PayPal sooner than later.

    Let me know if you do, and keep me updated on your item as my item is a few weeks behind yours and I'd like to know an estimate before I start to file anything.
