Thats what pees me off,was definitely a woman and she was selling rebel transport perfect in box ,slave 1,etc so sadly believed her,paypal dispute here we come...

Yeah 100% fake i'm afraid. Looks very much like the one posted in that link.
What was the name of the ebay seller?
mcdonald5426 is a scammer knowingly selling fakes as genuine on ebay at the moment so if you got it from him you can be sure it's fake.

Please post the name/ID of the ebay seller here so we can all stay clear.

Thanks.

Had a flick through "bitofageeks" photobucket album (http://photobucket.com/albums/p67/Supermassiveblackhole2/) can't find anything suspect really, the only SW pics were the 3 posted here of the SW Stormy.

When you do claim for a refund on this, perhaps try not to throw an accusation around about "bitofageek" being the same seller, just in case this isn't the same figure- looks like the person that came here with the fake stormy is collecting toy farm yard stuff, so possibly check the sellers other items and see if anything matches up to the photos in the album.

There are two things to remember - there are a lot of shitty fakes out there and many scammers "pretend" to be women.. so it might just be a coincidence.

Good luck claiming.

Hey, could you tell us the ebay ID/name of the person that sold you this.

 

[thewanderer]

The ebay name is Loopylouk,i have since had a refund and the other figures i got are genuine so believe her when she says she didn't know,but i've put her name up incase she just relists it and you can avoid it!!!!

Yeah thanks. Will take that under advisement.
