Fishy Ad on Gumtree

Hmm looks like with some of the wording this guy is intentionally trying to scam someone by passing some "Vintage collection figures off as originals :evil:

I know they are the vintage collection figures in the same packaging as the originals but he has worded it makes them sound like they are the original article poorly worded IMO :?

Greedo listed as 1978 - 79 is clearly a recent Saga version. Bollocks advert

I think the seller might just be naive rather than trying to pull a fast one...

Are the dates he is using from the info regarding the figures on the back of the card?

From memory I think the back of the Vintage Collection Sandtrooper has a picture of a POTF2 Sandtrooper and tells you the figure was first released in '95 and last issued in '98.

Either way if he is trying to pass them of as Vintage he ain't got a hope in hell :lol: :lol:

ditto i reckon hes using the info on the back because it does state when they were first released on those backs. just naivity i reckon
