That's what I thought, but they look and feel just like the Repro's on my Wheeljack.

And upon further examination I believe that most of the stickers are Reprolabels. I Repro'd the one I have complete and they look the same. Except the hand stickers. I think those may be authentic. They're too translucent to be Repro's.
There is a knockoff of Wheeljack which is almost identical to the original, you can get one sealed for $50. The only way to tell is to look at the screws, the original has the flat heads on it and the knockoff uses rounded screw heads.

Re: Value Village: what are your Transformers findings?

I once found the tru exclusive two pack of the recolor ed hoist and Mixmaster at a vv. The only catch... they where is pieces in no less than 5 bags! I went through every bag carefully in the whole store till is found all the parts except one side panel for Mixmaster, then took the whole.lot up to the counter and showed them how the pieces clearly came from the same toy.
They where nice enough to reduce cost by giving me two of the bags for free. I paid and removed the stuff I wanted from the junk and dropped the rest back in donation as a thank you to the cashier.that was a really cool find. Fun too.

Sweet,

Got a big bag of bits G1 Omega supreme, looks like 1 track and some body parts maybe missing, but other than that Great.

I think this almost trumps the G1 Scorp I got earlier in the year

Dammit, I never find anything like that in the Richmond/Vancouver/Surrey VVs. :P
