Hi,

I really like the old (and unfortunatly OOP) models for the Tauros Assault Vehicle and the Tauros Venator. Now I found this eBay seller:

[link removed]

who also seems to sell really A LOT of them and at least claims that they are Forgeworld stuff. He also seems to have good ratings from his customers, yet I'm suspicious to say the least as I wonder how somebody has 17 Tauri at his hand years after they went out of production. Are these recasts? Is there any way to find out? Has anybody ever ordered from him and could tell?

EDIT: I hope the question is not misunderstood regarding the Forum Guidelines. I explicitly do NOT want to buy recasts, that's why I'm asking

Yes, there would be at least a 99% chance that those are recasts.

I have removed the link, as we prefer to not have active links to recasters on the forum.

That wasn't a legit eBay link / seller, and it looked dodgy as hell.

As insaniak said - you've got about a 99% chance that any FW on eBay is fake. A better bet are Dakka's trade pages or some of the FB trade groups.

More, I think, that he would rather spend however much money it is for legitimate models than support copyright infringement.


Moving on.
