    So has anyone ordered one of these $1 Animated figures and gotten it already? I just need someone to confirm that it's a legit product cause this guy must have been raiding Hasbro's factory for weeks to be selling this many, let alone for so little, almost like he's ditching evidence now. (Would explain the Private listing on auctions)

    I have bought from him several times in the past. He seems honest and fair, even went out of his way to ship me a replacement part free of charge for one of my old WST

    Where ever they're coming from, nothing legit explains the lack of Prowls and Lockdowns, unless he's purposely holding them back to list after all these $31 ones show up (give us a sample before throwing out the good stuff?)

    It would be a great marketing idea on his part... Take low profits in high quantities for a while, then let the bidding wars decide how much you make on the rarer, more popular stuff.

    I think if these weren't legit, he'd say so somehow. But the photocopied instructions has me a little concerned (but instructions are in B&W now, so maybe it's a communication error?)

    This, like the number of licks to the center of a tootsie pop, may never be known. I would like to ask everyone that bought a $30 figure from this guy to post their opinions on it when they get it, (does it feel legit? Markings? inconsistancies? That kind of stuff) and maybe after that we'll know what really happened.

    Or better yet, someone could ask him.

    To be perfectly honest, I think a reason why he only has those four molds may well be that he tripped over a box full of just those four molds. ;)

    He or someone he knows has access to them, just look at all the different wst pimes and such he put out, I wonder why so few lockdowns and prowls thou. I got two responses from him today saying he is sorry he cant find the tracking but it did ship the day he left feedback and he has been getting swamped by people asking about them and different molds

    I had to file a claim from him and send him 4-5 emails. If you get feedback thats when he sent your item out, he has prolly sent at least 100 packages this week. Im choked that I cant get the tracking info from him but im not worried, I even went and about two more figs from him.

    ...he is the guy who provided the pictures to begin with... And yeah, shipping's expensive, but it's from Hong Kong and the actual price is so low it compensates easily.

    I broke down late last night and bought one of his Starscreams. I figure he'll retail for at least $20 in the US so w/ tax I'm looking at only paying $6-7 more by going this route...plus I get the toy 4 months earlier.

    I bought several WST toys from him last year as well as a unpainted test shot of Energon Demolishor. My Demolishor toy came w/o a robot head, but after a few e-mails he got back to me and send me a unpainted head to complete the figure. Not sure how he gets his stock, but he's a standup seller.

    Posted this in the other thread, but I got my Starscream I won from him early last week in the mail today. It's in great shape, has all accessories, and I'm super stoked for him to be here. Bulkhead should arrive any day now, and Optimus, Megatron, and Bumblebee should get here next week sometime.

    So you're the one who took that Starscream from me :lol 

    I'm definitely getting one now that I know this is legit, but I'm only doing it once, even with 4-5 months of wait time cut off, $62 for two loose retail releases is still insane. I'm hoping he puts up another Starscream or (dare I hope) Megatron before he runs out of Bumblebees, my stand-by. But it's the middle of the night in Hong Kong so it'll be a while before he's posting them again, assuming he even has any left.

    I guess I'll shoot him an email and see what's up with my Starscream. If all goes well, I may use my extra tutoring cash on a BB.
