    Tempted to have a punt and can always get my cash back.

    Anyone think the price is too good to be true?

    Thanks for the quick reply Scoutgatron.

    Feedback looks good although not much activity in the seller shipping items in the last 2 months which is understandable with the pandemic.

    But, I’m thinking the seller’s account could have been hijacked.

    Apologies but I’m new to the TFW2005 site, so are you saying for me to delete this thread I created or also post to the Chinese seller thread?

    Not sure how this seller's feedback looks 'good'. From what I found, this seller 'w7b1bz8' has 130 feedback with 93.9% positive which is horrendous...with negatives over the past year saying the products sold were bootlegs or broken.

    Plus, you know, the fact that the figure consistently sells for $60, so getting this new for $26 shipped is pretty obvious to me that its a scam....

    As the saying goes:

    ‘If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it sure isn’t chicken’!

    To me that deal screams scam, but whatever you decide all the best!

    Already reached the conclusion it didn’t stack up but I’m not somebody who is well versed using eBay so thought I would post.

    Thanks for confirming what I thought.

    Rule of thumb - if a Chinese Ebayer selling transformers has less than 2k feed back it's usually a scam :mad:

    I've got Zeta and the TNR but I missed out on Downbeat, so I cant wait to compare them. But I do prefer the slightly larger size of the Zeta, he looks better stood near prime 'cos of the extra height.

    Thanks for posting these photos. Torn between the two. I do not want to have both and struggling to decide if I wait till the Maketoys release. I see what you mean by the additional height of the Zeta representation and why you like that aspect of the figure more. There are aspects to like/not like as much on both. I’d assume the Maketoys Downbeat will be the same height in bot mode as Agent Meister?
