Any reason you feel this is legit? It was easy to get a refund from ebay so I might risk it anyway.
The seller I used for both is xiaojuan973. I've used him a couple of times before on my NECA color bandanas and never had a problem with him.

Thanks. Have you seen the colored bandanas at this price?
I bought them on Aliexpress and they only sent me Raph. I've been waiting over 60 days for the rest and all I get is a friendly "be patient."

Unfortunately not, I've been trying to pick up a second Leo and Don myself, but all I've seen recently is the full set listed auction style usually ending around $45-$60.

The accessories alone are worth more than that!

Get them now while their economy has tanked and they're desperate to move product!
Where are you ordering from mate?

Have they come yet?

I haven't been charged yet. It was still worth a try.

In one of my previous posts I said that the seller was xiaojuan973. It appears he's deleted his account. He had 99.5 % positive feedback with 670+ hits. I had used him before back in January with no problems.

Two things Either he's dumping his stock and getting out of the business or more likely this was just an obvious fraudulent cash grab. It appears right now is the time to use caution when dealing with Chinese sellers. Tread carefully guys.

Well I guess I haven't learned my lesson because I just ordered Classics Collection Bebop & Rocksteady set for $12.99 and the color mask NECAS for $15.99 from another Chinese seller. We'll see what happens, but I'm expecting him to disappear overnight like the first guy.

This time the seller is: 3.hk766

Yea i just ordered Classic Collection cartoon turtles and Bebop/Rock all for $35. I'll update and let you know if it pays off. Both sellers were 100%.

Crossing my fingers!

And now thanks to Metalhead 2.0, I added the necas from same seller. Haha.

I ordered the colored NECA from 3.hk766
According to a recent negative review:
"This guy scams people. Other listing disappeared and won't reply."

Haha, well it's nice to know I got some folks willing to roll the dice with me on this. If this deal goes sour maybe the 3 of us can pool together enough money to hire a team of assassins to go after him.

That Earth Commander Ultra Magnus he's running is also calling my name.

That's what's nice about ebay. You either get the item, or if it's a scam, ebays great about refunds.

I've had a lot of smooth transactions, and some bad, but I've always gotten my money back. So why not try. Win Win.

Well, I've already received refunds on both my transactions with xiaojuan973. It was as simple as opening an "Item Not Received" case for each and within 30 seconds my money had been credited back to my PayPal. Typically those types of cases take 4 business days, but the message I received from eBay along with my refund was "After reviewing the seller's recent activity, we decided to expedite your refund."

On the other hand, 3.hk766 did NOT disappear overnight and may actually end up being legitimate. The items show as shipped as of this morning, I'm just waiting to see some actual movement in the tracking history. I messaged him yesterday to ask why his prices were so low and his response was as follows:

Dear friends
factory one day anniversary
THX

Friend
Please trust me
I (xiaojuan973) do not know
I am a person of integrity
thank you

The description does say "Unofficial Russian cartridge" to be fair. But damn, that is some bad cartridge art.
