Its amazingly cheap, They have a few links call our parts like on the Warboss but I can't seem to make them work. 25 bucks for a warboss biker makes it totally worth buying. Less than half the cost of FW and if they are even remotely close in quality it will be great.

Irony.
A company selling knock offs doesn't like people using its images and pictures of these knock offs from its site selling the knock offs.

Can't quite make the site out in terms of how legit or otherwise it is.
Is also listing Rackham, Andrea models, and some PE that looks okay on the face of it. Might be worth a small purchase to see but I don't fancy forking out a fortnight in shipping just for a single mini

It's a guess about what kind of scam it is they're pulling - either recasts, or fishing for payment details from customers.
I certainly wouldn't be sending my credit card details to China.

I think that date is just a default setting and they haven't changed it. Other listings have the same date.

Question to the OP
Are you sure they are in China?
A quick google about the company has only shown a link to the webpage in the linky.
Translate this page from Spanish
Cannot find any contact address or details other than the email addy. This is rather cause for more concern than anything else.
They may be legit for all I know, but am reluctant to trust someone with no form of address other than electronic.
Most on line sellers provide info about themselves

It's funny that an online store's default date is 1970, isn't that a bit early? I wonder how many online stores were running in 1970?
This thing is almost certainly a scam, they have no pictures of their own and some strange stock in other categories.

So they deliberately went through the entire catalogue and typed in a silly date rather than a convincing one for each product?
