This guy has a TH blackhawk with an asking price of $59 and has the nerve to advertise it as a BBI blackhawk:
Either the seller has the wrong picture posted or is deliberately being deceptive. bbi 21st century toys elite force UH-60 Black Hawk 1/18 - eBay (item 280429372521 end time Nov-28-09 17:06:19 PST) "ABSOLUTELY HUGE FROM THE MAKER OF BLUE BOX TOYS ELITE FORCE, UH-60 BLACK HAWK 1:18 MILITARY HELICOPTER NEW IN SEALED BOX. THE BOX ON THIS IS LIKE 27 INCHES LONG. COMES WITH 1 PILOT AND 2 GUNNERS, ROTATABLE ROTOR, ROTATABLE WHEELS, OPEN OR CLOSE PILOT DOOR, OPEN OR CLOSE PASSENGER DOOR, VERY DETAILED RECESSED PANEL LINES, WITH RIVETS. 1/18 SCALE"

I agree the price is too high, but are we sure it's not a repackaged BBI toy? I know the True Heroes line repackages PTE and Chap Mei toys. I keep forgetting if this is the BBI or the PTE Black Hawk

Well it does have"VERY DETAILED RECESSED PANEL LINES, WITH RIVETS.", so it's probably a real good deal!

I think this guy is trying to rip off the unwary. for the record this is what a real BBI blackhawk looks like: The one below is the blackhawk the seller is trying to pass off as a BBI its obviously TH. There's a chance its a mistake on his part, but I smell a skunk.

They don't look much different to me. Either way, I wouldn't pay the $25 he wants for shipping this item, let alone the additional 59.99

You are all way too forgiving. It's an obvious deliberate screw job, the package even looks like the TRUE HEROES was photoshopped out, I say drag the guy from a car by the testicles, he'll never do it again.

See alot of this crap up around xmas time.
Some scammer trying to take advantage of mothers/spouses/siblings who are X-Mas shopping for their son/husband/brother/whatever. X-Mas list says BBI Blackhawk. The buyer (who doesn't know a thing about BBI, True Heroes, PTE, Chap Mei, whatever) does a search on EBay and comes across that. Scammers like that need to be beat. But to answer the OPs questions, yes, he does think buyers are stupid, or more accurately he's looking for the ones that don't know anything.

Ahh, but see, all the True Heroes toys say "True Heroes" on the box in Toys R Us, but they are "Power Team Elite" toys and "Chap Mei" toys repackaged in True Heroes boxes. A year or two ago you could find an A-10A Thunderbot plane at Big Lots in "PTE World Peacekeeper" boxes and the same exact toy at TRU in "True Heroes" packaging. Same is done with the "Animal Planet" toys at TRU, they are Chap Mei toys that were originally sold in different packaging like "Deep Sea Adventure" or "Knights" and such but TRU sells them in "Animal Planet" packaging.
But I think you may be right about it not being BBI, I think it is the PTE Black Hawk. However, I will ask, how many items do you see on ebay that say BBI or GI Joe or whatever and really aren't from those lines/companies? |
