I would love this Bossk to be real but it looks too good?

One **** picture and a one line description.............Fake.
Even before you look at the picture you should have alarm bells ringing. The card doesn't look right, nor does the bubble and the fact he hasn't shown you the corners makes me thinnk it's a square edged card and thus a blatant fake.
I'd stay well away!

Another fake, this time a baggie.

It WAS a tape sealed baggie as you can clearly see a piece of tape on the back of the bag, there is a fake heat seal at the top of the figure, you can see the bag just seems to end dead.
Stay away...

Same seller, fake heat sealed 8d8

Although there are a few out there (I have one , Del has seen two) heat sealed 8D8's aren't real, this one you can see the marks on the back again from old tape.
I would hazard a guess that his Jawa is the same , seems a very short baggie...?

Yeah I won a AT-ST driver in baggie from him. Turned out to be a fake too. When I asked him about it he began whining about the amount he paid for shipping and how he was losing out on the transaction. Bugger him, I'll get my money back through paypal and neg the ****er.

Surprise- I have seen this seller many times over the year. Check out his completed listings(clear baged figures). He has used the same sales pitch for too long: "... friends staircase, stored in a box for ages... surprised to see them sealed in baggies...." No mention they are not real baggies, but it must have been a huge box :shock: He also got about $AUS30 each for a few badly recarded figures but 8D8 was less than $10 :lol:
hmmm...
anyone know of this seller? Buy it now for such a fig seems too good to be true.
Was thinking about it but the spidey sense says the placement of bubble looks more than sus'

How can you tell!? :lol:
That squid and Luke jedi are meant to look like the prototypes pictured in the meccano catalog (the Squid is also pictured on Return Of The Jedi card backs and the Jabba The Hutt play set). despite the RS site says a black version of the cape was never released, there once was a limelight from a guy who had an Back cape squid, carded white cape bib and many more extremely rare prototype figures that had all been graded by AFA and a COA off Tom Derby (i can't find the thread now, but i am sure i saved the pic's on my home computer). So that's why the capes are black, but still it is obvious these are fakes.
See more info about the luke here:
