Brian.. Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 A heads up on a suspicious Smoking Spaceman. Spies tell me that its a fake box and probably a Chinese robot. The tell-tale back isn't shown. 111475616275 In addition, just look at the postage charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blechroboter Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It´s a repro, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It cracks me up when a scammer tries to convince us that a repro is original by beating it all to hell. I wouldn't want this robot even if was real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morbius Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 A heads up on a suspicious Smoking Spaceman. Spies tell me that its a fake box and probably a Chinese robot. The tell-tale back isn't shown. 111475616275 In addition, just look at the postage charge. What's with the $1,000 shipping to UK and Canada...but $20 to the U.S.? Brian we're on the bad end of the stick here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 In this case, Morbius, the $1000 just tipped the balance against buying that deceitful piece of cr..., sorry, artistically aged reproduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I sent the seller a message asking him to add photos of the trade mark etc on the robot in the listing and mentioned that he surely must have made a mistake re the postage cost! Had no reply as of yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fineas J. Whoopie Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The Ha Ha mark proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that these are reproductions made within the last ten years in China. Hmm, this thread seems to have had a few posts deleted....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The auction ended without a sale. The seller added to the listing that several people had told him it was a reproduction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
