Optimus Prime reissue on eBay - The real deal or KO???

Postby Daniel Gallagher » Tue Mar 18, 2008 6:48 pm

I'm sorry if this doubt seems stupid, but I can't seem to find whether this toy is fake or real:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-G1-REI ... dZViewItem

I wanna buy it as the price is good, but is that a KO???

Did Hasbro even reissue this mold (like Takara's Encore line)? I aksed the seller and he said it's Hasbro's release.

Does it come without the trailer stickers like we see in the auction's picture???

Any help is appreciated.

I believe that's a knockoff.
although Hasbro did release Prime as part of their Commemorative Series.

As such the box should say Commemorative Series 1.

Knockoff. I'd just get the encore version, it's the cheapest one out there.

Yeah that ebay auction is a KO for sure, trailer does have stickers, they are supplied and you put them on yourself. There's KO black prime too.

For that price you could get a geniune Takara Encore 01 Prime, superbeeds.com's price is pretty good. Good luck!

Cheers,

I'm still getting used to the fact that the 1986 movie takes place 3 years in the past now.

Most of the stuff you see on E-bay from anyone in China or Singapore is probably a knockoff, or has been stolen(erm...appropriated) by the slaves(erm....workers) for Hasbro to make an extra buck. I would say don't buy these, or be careful if you do.

Price too low? Check.
Shipping from China? Check.

Most likely a KO.

You could also look at the sellers other auctions for a clue. He has 'reissue' dinobots, but they have never been re-issued.

It is a KO, as are they. :D
