    Hello All

    I got a Devastator off of eBay, it came in the combiner wars box that I've seen on other etailers...however when I opened it, it wasn't packaged like the other Combiner sets I've purchased. It was cardboard internally and not moulded plastic.

    The toys look legit, but I'm wondering how do you know what is Knockoff and what is Original? If the packaging is similar...this particular auction came from the US.
