Will do. I'm communicating with him thru eBay so once I get his PayPal info I'll PM you the address.

I seriously think this dude is making these things. I got a message from him this morning saying that the red Prime was ready. If he is in fact making them I'll try to find out what else he has in the works. :run:

He's shipping 2/6, so hopefully the weekend of the 11th, we'll have our stuffs.


if he is making these, be sure to check his purchase log ... I'm pretty sure he's buying dinobots and stuff that matches the stickers he's selling.

He always makes sure his auctions are complete. Stickers, foam, box, accessories, etc ... if they're not complete, he won't stop buying until they are.

I can't tell if he's a collector or if he's about to go ballistic with the remakes. I hope he knows that the Computron set he purchased was ko'ed. He's going to make a bootleg from a bootleg. :chuckles:

If he gets his hands on a Mirage or Wheeljack it will turn into KO plastic gold.

my theory:
He has the molds for the toys he's buying (Computron, Soundwave), he doesn't have the packaging though.

The bootlegged Primes are coming off of the 2001 hybrid cab molds for Prime and Ultra Magnus. Somehow he stole them, purchased them illegally, etc ...



The Soundwave he purchased is really making me think. He got a box and sticker sheet ... TFC10's mold could have been stolen, and he'd have the next bootleg release.

I don't think so. He's been selling black ones lately. I bet he's changing the color plastic in the molds to accomodate Ham's request for a regular prime.

Honestly, I don't think this guy makes these things himself. He's probably employed at a warehouse or truck driver. He probably either 5 fingers a couple here and there or buys them at discount directly from the KO factory.

$1 USD = 8.06225 CNY

Good money making scheme.
