hmm, you sure about that? I am pretty sure he owes Hasbro a ton for stealing all of those figures.

and everybody that buys from him owes Hasbro too. I would laugh my ass off if everybody had to pay a fine for buying stolen goods

Dunno if you guys are seeing, but the quin jet is out and its pretty sweet.There's a cargo pocket on the back where you could put a guy. if I could hang it from my celing over my MU shelf I'd get one

also holy shit at the avengers lego prices.

WalkingDeadpool · 05-18-2012, 04:29 PM

I'm pretty sure those are all factory rejected items...and it's perfectly legal for us to purchase anything that sells on eBay.. us the buyer are not at fault...he's really trying to make friends isn't he! LOL

come on now. everyone knows that all the items sold by chinese sellers are stolen. Even if they are "rejects" they are stolen from the dumpsters.

you can play the blindman game all you want to, but you are only lying to yourself

Nah..probably a long day. He will chill once he sees its pretty laid back here. Nurture will win out over nature. LOL

Fedup23 · 05-18-2012, 04:48 PM

Anyone seeing these 4 pack Avengers in the midwest? Thinking Ill get it and sell off my Hawkeye/piledriver set.

Ninjinister · 05-18-2012, 05:13 PM

What the crap did I miss? What evidence do we have that all of those MUs were stolen?

wolverine2281 · 05-18-2012, 05:17 PM

that's basically saying every Chinese seller on eBay selling these types of figures (Joes, DC, MU, Star Wars, everything) are all stealing them/dumpster diving. Honestly I've always assumed myself but I have no evidence nor does it concern me.

shortysben · 05-18-2012, 05:46 PM

My theory is that the manufacturing plant runs "test" runs to make sure production runs go smoothly, and they don't package the test run stuff...leaving factory staff to take what they want...

I can be a crap shoot. Today I got in a bunch of Star Wars figures from Hong Kong. Used this guy before and the figures are always good but shipping usually takes 3-5 weeks but that isn't his fault. This time is only too a week. I was shocked at how fast they got here and all perfect. My clone army is growing. That said, I've had cheap MU figures come damaged from Asian sellers.

SH0CKWAVE · 05-18-2012, 06:05 PM

Available appreciation.

Quasimodo · 05-18-2012, 06:19 PM

Got the new iron fist today. Its so nice to have an iron fist that you know, actually has a fist. I also dig the white.

Quasimodo · 05-18-2012, 06:24 PM

Few more

Cool. If I ever get fined for buying an action figure on eBay I'll pm you so you can laugh.

That's plausible- workers are allowed to take stuff for their families or whatever...or they pay off the boss to let them run stuff after hours to sell.
Treating employees like shit is the surest way to promote theft.

Go troll somewhere else bro....or Post some appreciation..cause you have not contribute anything on this thread but nonsense!

Quasimodo · 05-18-2012, 06:49 PM

So is the daredevil and bullseye pack worth getting if you already have the old ones?

I'm weird. I prefer the old ones. I did need the new belts and hands to put on the old ones though.

proteus · 05-18-2012, 07:31 PM

Well all iv gotta say about the chinese sellers is this:

A) If Hasbro made product available in the UK i wouldnt need to buy from 3rd party sellers.
B) Because im such a dirty commie pinko punk socialist,i actually enjoy helping the over-worked,underpaid workers of the Peoples Republic of China make a decent wage by buying stolen toys from them.
C) The figures i buy are packaging(and often accessory)free,therefore they are more environmentally friendly and resource conserving than the ones you buy in a store.
D) im getting figures far cheaper than i could buy them in ANY store,so im being economical with my money,which in these hard times we all need to do dont we.

So in summary,im helping underpaid workers, helping to save the planet,getting kickass toys,and looking after my finances too....

So which part of that should i feel bad about exactly??
