Yes, I was the one. But consider yourself lucky...I'm 100% positive it was a scam and the seller just used me for a loan. I'm not even going to begin to explain how ridiculous the seller is. Back & forth lies...one moment he gives me a full refund without me asking him to, next he gives me a tracking number and then out of the blue cancels the order, yet claims it was still mailed. Tracking shows that a label was printed, nothing more...Still don't have my money. On top of all that, when I call him out, he never addresses what I ask him and his last email to me...he basically cussed me out like a crazy guy. Just horrible.

Hope things sort themselves out soon! People can be A**holes sometimes! Sounds like checking with the Mrs was a good thing to do in this occasion after all!

I've seen the occasional black card from sellers with 0 feedback but that account has lots of positive feedback. Many recently for Warrior items so yeah tough break mate. The picture looks awesome and I too would have pulled the trigger. Good Luck on the refund!

I was watching it as well, but like you said it looked to good to be true. the LJN Warrior MOC usually goes between $850 - $1200 depending on package condition. In 2010 I passed on buying on SIGNED for $900, I know big mistake.

You guys just wouldn't believe how much of a liar this guy is...it's just too much to put into words. I had to call eBay, Paypal and I even spoke to a USPS Inspector who claimed nothing was even mailed. Now USPS is even calling my house because a case is open against this guy. Anyways, a few minutes ago...there has been a case opened on eBay since today. I opened it. Even though he claimed this figure was shipped on July 18th, it never was because tracking NEVER updated anything more than a label being printed. Anyways, he just mentioned in our case and directly to eBay that the package is shipped and the tracking will be updated in less than 24 hours...and that he just wants this to be over. In either case, the tracking has finally updated and it shows that it's going to be delivered on Saturday. I can't begin to tell you guys how much he has lied though, about everything...do you guys think a miracle has happened and he really shipped out the Ultimate Warrior LJN or does the scam continue and will it just be something bogus, because eBay claimed if the tracking didn't show delivered by the 29th, they would refund my money in full. I fully believed from the beginning, he just used my money as a loan and now he may be buying more time by shipping something other than what I ordered...What do you guys think?

Ouch, sorry to hear that. There's probably a brick in that box.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. There's probably a brick in that box. Actually, it just updated again after it departed...shows delivery will be on Tuesday. So he only mailed "something" TODAY after saying in practically every message including ones to eBay that it was shipped already. And he called me a maniac. Jeez....

Good luck with it all. Reminds me once many years ago I bought a MIB 16" Roddy Piper and ended up with a box of baby clothes.

If I were you, I would try to be at home at the time the mailman delivers the package. I would have the mailman serve as a witness to what you received.

I planned on that but I thought it would be more feasible to record me opening the package. I think that would be good enough evidence, wouldn't it?

The seller could say that you opened it prior to taping it and tampered with it. Having the mailman present to provide a written statement on the findings (even days later after witnessing it - on USPS letterhead, of course) if it is anything other than what you are expecting.

I'm kinda glad I didn't buy it now! What a hassle. But, on the other hand it's an amazing figure at an unbelievable price.

Keep us updated want to find out how this ends Will leave a post here on Tuesday when it arrives. I'm almost positive it's going to be something else packed up. Also if you guys do a Google search, you'll find the Ultimate Warrior image he used for the auction. He claims it's an old photo but with the amount of lies he has given me from the start, who really believes that's true.

eBay can be rough. I don't know if not letting sellers leave feedback will help anything, but here's a situation that happened to me, probably more than 10 years ago now. The only LJN figure, except Slaughter, that I didn't get in some form when I was a kid was Bam Bam Bigelow. No idea why he was never a priority, but I just didn't end up with him. So naturally, when eBay became a thing...I was always searching for Bam Bam. I finally pulled the trigger on a MOMC auction for $60.00. I waited, and waited, and waited to get that thing. I finally contacted the guy and he said, it's on it's way. It's been awhile now, but I contacted him at least one more time before he finally shipped it. About six weeks after I ordered it, Bam Bam finally arrived........with a bubble that was cracked in the front and the paint completely chipped off his nose. Bam Bam's base color is black so you can imagine how silly he looks with a black nose. I knew I was going to get a "retaliatory negative" from the guy since he never left me feedback despite the fact that I paid him instantly, but I left him the one, and ONLY, bad comment I've ever had to leave on that site. Naturally, within minutes, I got retaliation saying how difficult I was and that the "MINT FIGURE WASN'T UP TO MY HIGH STANDARDS".
Hope it works out with Warrior despite the run-around. It's a great figure.

Ok, well it looks like it's back to the delivery date of tomorrow (Saturday) as it just arrived at my local sort facility 1 hour ago. Man...I'm nervous. As other people have said, when a deal is too good to be true...it usually is. Mix in how crazy this seller has been, the chances of this being the real thing just seem soooo low. In either case, I will be updating this thread in the morning tomorrow.

Also, if he does intend to scam me with this package...I do believe that's a federal crime and he could be in big trouble especially because I have a case opened with USPS and an Inspector has already reviewed it.
