Hmm tough to say. I don't have any of those figs but him saying its a mould defect. I hope he's not charging you a arm and a leg.

if hes asking a lot for a mold defect, tell him to suck it. Go get yourself a Ko mp instead;)

I'm always leery of a 30 year old toy with absolutely no evidence of fading, especially a white, loose toy. It took me forever to find a decent G1 Astrotrain loose with minimal fading and he isn't even white, more like off-white on the legs.

What defect are you referring too?

It's to be in impeccable shape or it's a partsformer made with reissue parts.

are you talking about the paint on rear (pic not to good for me ) can you explain the defect a little more?

Re: Is this red alert damaged
 

it could be the reissue of red or a Ko a factory fault does not make it expensive,... a test shot or prototype is a far different story... we see factory faults all the time I just purchased a new generations skids and right out of the package had a factory mold fault on drivers side fender at the mirror, lots of TFs over the years have had faults in production actully most times devalues them.

Can't be sure becuase the image is not too clear, but judging from the box in the first photo (far-left of the frame), I believe it appears to be most likely a KO or reissue.

If you're talking about that dimple in the plastic on the left front fender, my old junker Read Alert has that too.

Re: Is this red alert damaged
 

I think Maz mentioned in one of his recent articles for TFsource that the reissue plastic seems almost translucent under light whereas the originals do not, so I would assume its a reissue (he used bluestreak as his example and the doors were the parts in question).

If the concern is that the front hood does not appear to line-up with the rest of the car, than I say that,

(a) it is either mistransformed, or
(b) it is a KO
