    Yeah, that was a nice touch. Pricey though, but very cool.

    The guy is in Russia, I'm not sure GW sends lawyers there.

    I hate you.

    I think that's a fish way too big for GW to haul in. As large as their penchant for litigation is, directly challenging eBay in court would be a lot like Ahab hunting Moby Dick with a salad fork.

    They don't challenge eBay, if a seller is using GW images or names then they just fire off a copyright infringement notice and eBay removes the listing. Being in Russia doesn't prevent you from that, which is why the listing doesn't say "Thousand Sons".

    There are at least three frequently operating re-casters of FW stuff on ebay. As long at FW stays expensive, there always will be. They just comeback under a new name and they rack up order numbers quickly so they tend to look legit. The give-always are always the resin they use and the absence of packaging. With that said, I have seen smarter ones photograph the original packaging and models they get before recasting. But for most of them that seems to be too much trouble.
