I noticed a lot of modern toys are sold from there on eBay loose. I saw Masters of the Universe classics, maybe some others. What is the deal with this? Stolen from the factory or something?

China/Hong Kong Figures on eBay?

I have noticed that with the Indiana Jones line as well, all the figures you could not find in stores, the TOD, line, you can get pretty cheap from Hong Kong. Course the shipping is highComment

I find this mainly with electronics, like when they are .99 cents and from hong kong but with free shipping that takes 3 weeksComment

My best suppliers are in China and Hong Kong.
Very reliable, affordable shipping, sent registered for like $5.
They send it as "gift" "value $5", so you don't get customs charges.
I usually get my stuff within the week.
I can't say enough great things about them.
Once, a package took extra long. The guy immediately paid back everything including full shipping. When the damn thing eventually showed up, I let him know that I wanted to pay what I owed. He would only accept the value of the figure, shipping was on him. So I ended up getting my stuff shipped for free.
And yes, your VISA statement will probably read "Yuen Lu Wan"" or something, but that's fine by me!
Btw: I've never received knock-offs, only the real deal!
What does happen is this: sometimes figures get rejected, let's say because the pants are not perfect. The factory will retain the whole thing, and some sellers then sell off the figure part by part. Those items are flawless.
When boxes get damaged, Chinese sellers rip them off the card and sell them loose. Nothing wrong with that.
I buy American stuff from China all the time...Last edited by Gorn Captain; Dec 13, '11, 6:33 AM..

It stands to reason that a lot of toys are made in factories over there. maybe somebody buys out end of the line stuff and rejected paint jobs. I just bought a Yellow DD from the Spider-man classics line from China, so 'll report back what I got.Comment

All of my 1/6 scale purchases have been perfect. No bootlegs, no faults. I've been buying from Chinese and Hong Kong sellers for years....
