Help!!!!

Just wondering if someone can help me i am trying to figure out how i can tell if something is real or a knock off. Just bought an optimus prime MISB if it is a reissue the date on the back would be from the year it was issued correct? This one has no stickers on the trailor. I am really not sure how to tell if someone could help me that would be great thanks everyone for your help!

Re: Help!!!!

Sounds like a knock-off from China.

Did you purchase it from Kijji? If it's the one I'm thinking of, I'm pretty sure you received a Knock-off.

If you bought it from Kijiji Kitchener then its a Fake/KO. Dude started @ $250. Dropped to $200, then $150, then $100 then $60.

Fact that there were no stickers on the trailer is a dead give away as they were factory applied etc...

Only what's up on the TFcon website at this point. However, it's generally similar from year to year, so we can probably answer some general question. But we shoudl probably keep it in the appropriate forum, over here:

http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/forumdisplay.php?f=14

You can make a question thread there if you still have questions about TFCon (after looking at some of the threads first maybe).

I think the fact that you got an MISB G1 (I assume) Optimus Prime for $30 should have been a dead give away that it was a KO.
