Yep, looks bootlegged alright.

Original

Things to look out for (if you aren't allowed to take figure out of box before you buy)
1- Obvious seam lines on the hair of bootleg. One thing that MaxFactory has been consistent of is that their hair sculpts have little to none.
2- Wonky looking arms/legs on bootleg. They usually look slightly bent/unaligned.
3- Originals always have the circle sticker to seal the cover. If it's normal cellophane tape, beware of BIB/Bootleg.
4- Cheap price tongue.gif

On another note, it appears that Time Machine have some restock of old figmas. Not sure about the prices though.
Figma #003 Saber Fate Stay Nite
Figma K-On Tsumugi Kotobuki
Figma K-On Yui Hirasawa
Figma Aegis Ultimate Version
Figma Ui Hirasawa
Figma #140 Black Rock SHooter with Dvd

May I know which Time Machine?

B+ is fine, even Amiami has their standards of what is sell-able or not.
They seriously can't be selling goods that badly damaged (never seen a C grade ever), but its still MISB, so its just taking a chance.
Genuineness is almost guaranteed, unless they wanna be caught selling bootleg and get lawsuits for 50+ bigname figures companies.

Just whether you wanna take it, its up to you, cuz I know just how tempting those prices are.
If it were me, and I saw my favourite fig up there for 40-50% less, I'd buy it, cuz I'd much rather trust amiami, than getting the same thing from ebay/mfc user with no guarantee or name backing.

And I think I fight this urge everyday ._.

thx for the advise, bro! thumbup.gif
you've got some valid points.

did some homework at mfc too...
reviews are mixed, but tend to be on the positive side...

after some thoughts, i've placed an order for a "B+" and a "B".
wish me luck!! icon_rolleyes.gif

Just ask them to cancel the previous order then place an order for the reissue. Always works (provided you haven't been cancelling as you wish all the time). You really DON'T have to explain how it's unfair that the reissue is cheaper or be overly honest about how you want to replace your previous order. Just do it on your own to avoid the hassle.
*
the problem is my current order also contains other items, so by cancelling this order will be removing other items as well....

You can send them an email to request cancellation for a particular item within an order. Just have them remove that item then place a new order for the reissue then proceed to combine both orders. I've done it before previously for the same situation.
*
done that, and they said: "We are unfortunately unable to cancel pre-owned items".
sad.gif

i guess i will just proceed with it la....but will be very mindful next time when ordering pre-owned items....sigh....
