If it's too good to be true... Ewok combat star wars

[Star Wares]

I'm interested to hear what others think on this listing:

I was proper excited when I found it late last night & planned to go in big at the end... but...

After the seller sent me some more pictures this morning I googled 'Ewok Combat' to do my homework & found the pictures the seller had sent me were straight off the tri logo website!!

Another picture he sent me of just the box was identical to another opened set currently listed on eBay in California.

Even though I know there is too much smoke not to be a fire I'm still hesitating as I type this...

I know Pay Pal & Ebay protects buyers eventually when nothing shows up in the post but I didn't want anyone else on here getting burnt!

Looking at those pictures I'd stay away from it, were you also sent pictures of those bent card backs?

I've got a bad feeling about this...

I will buy the lot and buy them and collect them from Barnsley(allegedly) and since then he as ignored me

Especially after this. Unless Sci-Fi is bidding on them :wink: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though, sounds iffy to me.

Thanks for the warning, what a b###er :x

He's just listed an Endor Chase set using pictures that I'm sure I've seen before (the repair to the end of the box using plain black cardboard). I'd stay well clear of this lot.

Yup, no other vintage Star Wars for sale or purchased, borrowed pics...

Need say no more. :twisted:

I think Grant (Maulster) sold one like that. Actually...looking at that pic.........I think he stole the picture from here off Grants sales thread.

Hi guys - I was just in the process of dealing with this scum bag as well. He is stealing pictures from other listings and trying to pass them off as his own. He even had the cheek to send me the extra pictures for the Droids R2 from the original listing. I played all nice with him and asked for extra picture but haven't hear back. I would stay away from everything that he us selling.

Droids R2 -

Where he stole it from

Oh - and apparently a 'mate' in the US told him it was worth £500 !

If you look at all his pictures, none have the same background - always a dead giveaway that they aren't the sellers pictures

 

[Grant_C]

hat is my picture- just reported him.

Also sent him this message:

Hey buddy,

Whats the side damage like? as the side of the box been replaced?

How much for the Rebel Command Centre in the background?

I have lots of money and can pay straight away

 

[tiefighterboy]

I knew it was youra because I thought about buying it when you had it for sale. The repair was the dead giveaway. The custom droids R2 is not his either.

 

[Grant_C]

A reply:

what you see is all thats there figures and in good shape but the box is damaged not a lot just just edges

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

What a scumbag! Avoid like the plague :twisted:

 

[x-pack]

He has that tri-logo Yak as well. Ending soon with loads of bids. £460 so far :shock:

Sent a message on it asking to see the back.
