Hi. just come across this " traceandtrev " selling on ebay, but doubted his collection could be fake as some reason. 1. all his selling collection just happen to be the released KO versions. 2. judged by tips on forum, his boxes failed. 3. every robot is too new!!!
some advice please. cheers! |

#2 | | Hi Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 1,842 Location: Montana Collection Count: Just one collection. | Most of them look legit to me as far as I can tell. Many of the toys he's selling haven't been KOd, and the ones that have, the boxes look like the real thing. I know for sure that the Optimus Prime boxes aren;t the KO boxes, at any rate. No grey strip running along the top of the clear part, and the Trans Formers title is spaced properly.
However, I think this one is a fake http://cgi.ebay.com/TRANSFORMERS-G1-...1%7C240%3A1318
because the hole punched out is in the center of the card, and not more to the side as it would be if it were original. Like in this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/TRANSFORMERS-G1-...1%7C240%3A1318

some advice please. cheers! | Wow. Considering that YOU SELL KOS AS ORIGINALS ON EBAY YOURSELF, I'd say you've got one FUCK of a nerve.
Also, traceandtrev has been selling original G1 toys on eBay for a LONG time; far longer than the KOs have been available.
Rodimus Major, the first Beachcomber you linked to is a fake; I've contacted them to let them know.

I don't buy it. | |

Hi there,
Thanks very much for letting us know. You're not the first person to point this out to us so we've decided to end the listing while we do some research. We only sell genuine vintage Transformers and wouldn't dream of selling a knock-off, or passing one off as a G1. Thanks very much for contacting us :-)
Kindest Regards,
Trace and Trev

| And, true to their word, they've pulled the auction.
You could learn a lot about honesty from them, TNLonflings. | |
