    wow man...

    They sure did beat the heck out of the box on purpose just to get that old look.

    Sorry to hear man we all make mistakes, these guys are getting better and better.


    This is iffy though. On one hand the guy states that he is not sure if they are real or not and to bid accordingly.

    On the other hand just the fact that he put that statement in the auction might mean that he knew they were fake.

    It's a tough one for sure, sorry though man :/

    usually a lot of the box art of the bot ends up cropping off the edge of it when it shouldnt.

    thats a good indicator too. can always measure the grid boxes as well, like if the elbow on a real g1 is 3 grid boxes in and you see one where the elbow is only 2, then there is a problem.

    totally noticeable on the menasor set.

    This is exactly why I stopped collecting MISB/MIB G1. Almost all of the good G1s have been knocked off now. Heck it's even a crap shoot buying loose figures now.

    I had this, but I knew that it was a KO when I bought it (it is a KO bro, sorry). It's the best quality KO from that set of G1 KOs, for what it's worth.

    Pursue the dispute against that mofo eBay scammer, man. I hope you're able to run him out of business.

    I don't mind KO's, as long as everyone knows that it's a KO. It's when someone tries to pass off a KO as authentic that it gets really messed up. Sorry this happened to you.

    me either as long as its stated being a KO, but outright lying about it and making it look like a real one by beating up the box? thats just criminal.
