a BIG sep up from the Prime KO boxes. i can't wait for the wheeljack and sunstreaker Ko's to come out. |

Not a big deal if you're just using it for display, but kinda crappy if someone tries to pass it off as an original box. | |

There were also several different copyright stampings on the originals. Not sure which copyright stamping was used on the fake Swoops, but if someone can confirm which wings and which copyright stamp was used on the fakes, that would be quite helpful.
For info on the different variations of G1 Swoop, check out Freds Workshop. Here is the link http://www.geocities.com/futuristgro...bot.html#swoop | |

on the clear part of beak the tear drop end is slightly larger than the original
the bubble insert for original covers the whole backer card, the KO only outlines around swoop
original bubble 
....only makes you stronger

I have recently purchased a G1 Override MOSC. There are some Chinese word stickers on the card but the seller said it is there for the Chinese market. Can anyone tell me how to identify whether its a real or fake G1? Or is it a bootleg?

but yeah, this belongs in the other thread. | |
