Thought this was interesting... (look at the questions)
"Hi, this is the same exact mould as the original but just in new packaging"

To me this sounds misrepresented.... Just my thought.....You can clearly see that number in the back, and it even appears to be the Tower photo....

Yeah you'd wanna ask for a photo of the label it might not be the very latest one but newer than an 80's label. Most of his listings on Ebay seem to have the older USA flag labels.

Technically he is not lying. Misrepresenting, I agree with you. Maybe someone needs to ask a more specific question like "are the new bodies and exact copy of the old one?". Let's see if he answers that one spot on or bends like Beckham.
He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.

seems strange, i'm sure if you bought it, it would be the new edition. i've bought a bit of stuff off this guy and he's a decent seller but i know he sells new stock, very rarely vintage.
