Been a while since I posted here.

There is an eBay lot being sold, with a fake yak and r2 pop up and possible others on eBay ending tomorrow.

Here is a link:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40-Original-Vintage-Star-Wars-Figures-Job-Lot-/291997585570?hash=item43fc6990a2:g:ivYAAOSwo4pYdl5Y

The seller is also a member on the echo face book page, as he also had an echo figure booklet for sale.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1st-Edition-Echo-Guide-Misprint-Rare-/291998559551?hash=item43fc786d3f:g:dNgAAOSwjDZYd8c6

The real name of the seller is currently unknown.

My warning on echo face book page has been deleted, but this is a real warning so beware any newbies.

My post was up for a couple of hours on echo before being deleted so I hope alot of newbies saw it.

Not sure why it was deleted, maybe advertising an eBay listing, but I thought the warning was more important.

Maybe it was thought to be negative towards the group... who knows...

Well the lot of figures only went for 214 GBP so I'm thinking that a fair few people noticed this post and the warning on Echo. It's still a bit of money for some loose figures with probably report weapons but it's not the car crash it could have been.

Well done to those involved with exposing this, judging by the price realized I think it's safe to say that you made a difference.

Well, in the description he says that some figures are not original. So he kind of adverts the buyers without giving details.
It's always the same problem on ebay. Sellers doesn't give some information they know for sure but they don't give, hoping people to buy without asking. Information that some people (like me) are tired of asking for (original/repro, sound and light working, damaged pieces, etc...)
Not serious (and loyal) at all!!!

Dread to think what the winning bidder will do when they find out.

They'll be more careful next time! Sometimes it takes somethng like this to make you wise up. Typical eBay scumbag. Not sure what they are selling but savvy enough to know about repro and put in a disclaimer. It's pretty depressing.

Hi guys - I'm new on here but wanted to warn you guys about this lot https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-VINTAGE-PRINCESS-LEIA-BLUE-BLACK-BLASTER-WEAPON/253385495669?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D49129%26meid%3D621349a92f9c49cea8ebfddb49bcd5ab%26pid%3D100013%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D253385495669%26itm%3D253385495669&_trksid=p2047675.c100013.m1986

This dude seems to be selling large amounts of repro items as originals. Can you take a look and let me know if you agree? There's a load of high quality Leia Blasters on there, and I spotted a fake blue luke saber with the Taiwan luke. Can't stand the dick heads that try and rob other people with fakes. It ****in insults our intelligence for a start.

Anyway, hi eveyone! I force wind out - May the 'force' be with you. (Ledy Focus guy) Not rich enough to keep any of them for as long as I'd like!
