    Exclamation Remember the repro ape boxes guy? He`s back.

    Remember the guy with all the repro ape boxes found in his grandparents loft? Well he`s back trying to pull another fast one. Different username and another made up story.

    Original thread and listing http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?t=1215

    New auction -

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mego-Palitoy-p...QQcmdZViewItem

    Check the carpet out - it`s the same. This guy is full of it. Three carded figures found at a car boot sale - yeah, right. REPRO, REPRO, REPRO. Stay clear at all costs.

    lol same carpet same font colors. In the first auction he says he was born in 90 and in the new one he says he bought corno in the 70's.

    The Bradgate card fronts are very similar to the regular Mego cards.

    You can tell the Soldier Ape in this auction is on a fake Mego card by the Mego circle logo in the bottom right corner. Bradgate cards naturally didn't have them. Ursus and Galen are easy to spot because they weren't released on Bradgate cards.

    All three of them are in wide bubbles that lack the raised "frame" around the front, and the bottoms of the bubbles are flat instead of having "feet" at the corners. The cards themselves are also very narrow; Bradgate cards are nearly as wide as they are tall.

    Scum like this don't go away for long. They're cockroaches, that keep coming back until someone turns on the light and they scurry away like the bottom feeding losers they are.

    The sad thing is that someone that isn't a member of the museum will get stung and probably for big money.
