Its obviously a fake, the cape is the wrong colour anyway, blooming scammers, that listing should be removed he's trying to decieve.

 

[Cobra_UK]

hes also a new member with no feedback (or a previously banned member), ive just messaged him to ask if its a repro cape or a cut down bens cape, wonder if he will reply

Packaging:
Original (Unopened) ... that should be enough to have it removed as he says it has been opened.

 

[plantman]

Some poor souls have bid on it though, he's also hidden bidders identity so nobody can warn them.

Its an obvious scam if you add it all together, why cant people see that????

 

[Cobra_UK]

His reply ...

Dear cobra_w,

no idea? had it for ages , i got it from another collector who had it put back onto its original card?? it looks really mint though...sorry i couldnt give you more info... i have had it for around 8 years or more

Scumbag!

Ill ask for more photos

Sent him this ...


Ok, with being such a rare figure can you get some better photos on, i would like to see a side profile photo of the bubble and a photo of the small print under the Kenner logo and a close up of the cape please, just to prove its original as im sure you would rather prove to the bidders it is genuine, this is your chance to also prove to yourself your selling the genuine article while the listing is still live too.

find attached a jpg showing the correct bubble for the vinyl jawa for you to compare, if the cape is the same colour as Bens cape then it is a fake.



Looking forward to your responce.

I'd noticed that one Thorsten - hilarious :lol:

and his comparison shots show how fake his one is :roll:

I saw that spoons i cant believe some people pure scum they know exactly what they are doing!

You could spend all day / all week policing the vintage starwars carded section alone. The problem is that half the time ebay do **** all when you report stuff. As long as they get there fee's i guess.

 

[Cobra_UK]

Perhaps a competition to see how many errors people spot in these fakes that keep appearing, think of it as homework and educational lol

That other guy never replied to my last pm, thats what sickens me most - ive sent proof its a fake and they carry on with the sale and dont reply to you, anyone with a shred of honesty or guilt would remove them and apologise, these lot are lower than scum.

Maybe the admins can make something up that lodges an ebay complaint when clicked from this site, im sure everyone would click it to have the fake removed? If something like that is possible that is?

Hi guys, just an update as to where I am on this.

I've been doing a lot of travelling the last few months (just got back from Antartica) and have started a new job so there has been a lot of non star wars related stuff going on in my life recently.

My interest in the hobby has been pretty minimal so far this year so I'm going to leave the work on this and the website until I get some of my enthusiam for the hobby back again, probably when things settle down again work and travel wise.

cheers Jason

Hi Jason, welcome back mate.

You've been travelling a fair bit mate.
Did you leave from Argentina to Antartica??

 

[mr_palitoy]

Yeah, in the MV Ushuaia across the Drake passage on a ten day voyage!

Jason

 

[burnsy]

Me and the missus travelled through south america for 6 months and visited Ushuaia.
Argentina was our favourite place, didn't go to Antartica though. Must have been amazing

 

[Lafos]

Jason, would be great if you´ll find 5 minutes to take some shot of the Jawa and post them here. :wink:

 

[weasel]

Good to see you back Jason.
It's strange how so many of us are affect by loss of interest in collecting at the same time!

Did I miss the outcome of this??

I noticed going through the old new acquisitions thread that Andy also picked up a VC jawa with a Palitoy cardback, what is going on has this been documented and proved now?

If so any threads to read?

I must have missed it if so

I dont think you missed anything Joe the awaited updates never came

 

[Joe]

So there was no conclusive evidence to show it was released by Palitoy?

This is the one Andy picked up : http://starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=200&hilit=palitoy&start=4230

Doesn't look like anyone said much in reply to the card being a Palitoy one apart from noticing it lol ... :shock:

 

[plantman]

The guy i bought it off said he pulled it from the card himself when he was younger, i doubt it, but hey, nobody believed the Toltoys jawa existed at some point.
