I like how the guy selling Major Bludd on eBay, The Galactic Trade Ship, posted in here and didn't answer anyone'e questions. He also has not answered anyone's questions on social media either. Also, contradicted himself when he said he knew right away what he had gotten but then didn't know it was going to cause a problem on eBay. HA! Also, did anyone notice the suggestions on the eBay page when you scroll down? They look to be custom figures but the descriptions are WORD FOR WORD the exact same as this guy's that has Major Bludd.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/MAJOR-BLUDD...0AAOSwvB1gfzHc https://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-GAMEMAS...UAAOSwNnZgf34q https://www.ebay.com/itm/QUICK-KICK-...wAAOSwmBxgeirY Mister Gong is in Hong Kong and if you look up Mister Gong's Instagram it says he is a "Toy Maker and Pranker." https://www.instagram.com/mister.gong/ The Galatic Trade Ship has this bizarre video with Death Metal playing and they are about to take a rusty old saw to the Major Bludd figures. He says this is for us in the G.I. Joe community. https://www.instagram.com/galactictradeship/ On Facebook the Galatic Trade Ship guy responded to someone saying that, "They'll (Us G.I. Joe collectors) find out tomorrow." Find out what? https://www.facebook.com/GalacticTradeShip/ The word for word description with another auction from Hong Kong by a self described prankster is suspicious. Is this all an elaborate prank? Granted "Mister Gong" could have copied Galactic Trade Ship. At this point I would think every Target employee knows about G.I. Joe figures since so many of us have asked them about them and they have their iron clad street dates. So how does some guy obtain this Major Bludd figure months before they will even announce it probably? Elementary my dear Watson

It was up to $30k before I went in and deleted the last round of bids. We've been in touch with eBay. Fraud department is looking into fake bidding. We've gotten message after message after message about fake bids. Screen shots a mile long. We'll probably have to take the whole thing down before it's all said and done. Maybe we relist it, maybe we don't.

You know, when this popped up last night that was my first thought - "that looks like a custom". Specifically, the close-up view of the head. But the more I looked, and the fact that nobody else had suspicions, convinced me that it was real. The body construction looks 100% original and perfect - much too good for a custom. 3D prints perhaps?
Now, seeing the other listings of very well done customs - I am leaning towards this being a fake. Who knows. It's a very good hoax if it is. Last edited by captain mal; 04-21-2021 at 10:18 AM.. |

It's now back up to $10,000. Are bots bidding on this?

No it isn't. This figure is legit. I think they just happened to find it early.

I have intel. However, all that I can say is that this figure and auction are 100% legit and this figure will be available for purchase very soon. I was told the figure does not have a street date. I understand exactly how Galactic Trade legitimately acquired the figure.
