Yeah Guys,
This is my first posting that I have posted in this fashion. I really don't get into gossip or slandering someone, but there's this Ebay auction that's got my attention. I don't know if the Ebay seller is aware of it or not. The seller doesn't have it listed in the title as being MISB, but it is listed as "Unopened Original Packaging" in the item details. Anyways my point being, I believe it to be a resealed package. There are two different versions of Stardusters filecard. The second release with Dukes chest came with a filecard that had an "H-1" in the bottom right hand corner and the first version with Recondos chest didn't have the "H-1" at the bottom. This Ebay listing is for the first version with Recondos chest, but the card has the "H-1" at the bottom. The auction still has a couple of hours left on it. The auction has one bid on it, but I don't know if the buyer is aware of this. I've included a couple of pictures of the filecard variation below, I can take pictures of the sealed ones as well if anyone wanted to see them sealed. I just wanted to get this posting started. Here's the Ebay listing link: Gi Joe 1987 Starduster Ver 1A Comp w Filecard Comic Set Order Form | eBay Thanks, Everett

I defer to your expertise.

I agree that is a re-package. It is actually pretty obvious. The clear plastic bag that it is in is different material than the original bags. The original bags are more flexible. You can tell that this bag is a more rigid material just from the looks of it. Looks like someone used a shrinkwrap machine on it. When I worked computer retail a long time ago, we used to use that to re-wrap stuff (mostly software) that people opened. It was painfully obvious what was repackaged and what was original.

Uh huh. I agree. I didn't see an "original packaging" note, though, so perhaps the change has been enacted. I think about $155 is what that Starduster V1 is worth-ish, so not bad.

If you look at the "Item Specifics" just above the description you'll see the original packaging note. I agree if no one else bids on it, the $155 wouldn't be bad a bad price, but if I had to guess, I would say that the buyer is thinking that they're getting an original sealed one. Thanks, Everett

I just looked at his past auctions and he previously listed another sealed starduster that's very yellowed but it has the helmet on the figures head. did they come like this? also, he sold a very white snake eyes along with a repro bubble that he said he pulled off of a very bad moc card that really looks like the chinese version. someone then asked him if the figure is original and he said it was. i don't know how to post the auction but its "GI JOE 1984 STORM SHADOW MINT COMPLETE W/ REPRO CARD & BUBBLE" and it's in his completed listings if anyone wants to look

Edited: I just saw it. He's probably talking about the Starduster comics. They seem to be unopened. Last edited by Stalker; 07-18-2013 at 08:40 PM..

Gi Joe 1984 Storm Shadow Mint Complete w Repro Card Bubble | eBay Obviously a Chinese version. The plastic looks so cheap and the skin color so wrong that it makes me want to cry. Quote:
The seller never claims that it is MISB, however. He conveniently includes something that has original packaging (the comic set) to explain the "Original (unopened)" packaging description (Edit: Stalker beat me to it). But he's obviously trying to trick people. |

All of the sealed Stardusters that I've seen have all had the helmets loose inside the bag, I have 4 sealed ones and all of the helmets are loose. I guess you could use your fingers and pinch the outside of the bag and put it on the figure, but with the way those style of helmets fit pretty tight, it would be pretty hard to do without possibly damaging the packaging. You might be talking about the auction that had the Starduster showing on the side with the front of his filecard showing instead of the red backing showing. I thought that was pretty odd myself. Here's the Ebay listing: Gi Joe 1987 Starduster Ver 1A in Factory SEALED Bag | eBay Thanks, Everett
