Hey guys I scored a Gangboy off Ebay in January, the seller was in South Africa and said the shipping time was 4-6 weeks, that came and went. Still no Gangboy and I'd been messaging him back and forth, so I filed a claim with Ebay got my money back and I told him if/when it arrived I'd repay him. So finally today I got the package in the mail. I was so stoked! Opened the box...just an old Hot Toys body...no Alex.:thud: I've emailed him and he said with the postal strikes someone might have swapped it with an empty body(the theft rate for packages in SA is high to begin with apparently)..Doubtful. Anyway I uploaded the pics here to see if anyone knows who this Alex belongs to or if this guy maybe just stole the pics from someone else or what? He sold one a few years ago too(fishy), I wonder if that guys got his? So..I'm still on the hunt for a Gangboy:slap

EDIT: I couldn't see well from my phone. It's not even a True Type. BAL1S!! :cuss

That is absolutely brutal mate really sorry to hear you never got your Gangboy. At least your not out anything financially! Alarm bells would have been ringing for me the moment the seller said 4-6 weeks for delivery lol. Name and shame him mate make sure noone else on here needs to deal with him.

South Africa you say? It wasn't Oscar Pistorius was it? Perhaps trying to get bail money :D
 
Yea that's a very good idea RD. Shout him out. Feel free to drop his name here. I believe there's a list of "do not deal with" eBayers some where here that you can add him to also. People like that don't deserve to slip away unscathed
