Is this for real?

[Spyro Paul]

Somebody sold one on eBay. Is this real? I thought the only 3 silvers were Dino Rang, Eruptor, and Boomer.

Is there an official page anywhere for exactly how many characters and variants there are as of now?

I would be inclinded to believe it was more real, coming out with the L-Trigger Happy shipments if it was in the US. If this was the same one that was on eBay before it was in the UK I believe. Has me question it a bit more, combined with the fact there arent a half dozen others of these cropping up.

I also cry shennanigans on this one, given that there is no other one for sale in the world or mentioned (the GoogleFu is strong in this one).

I am not even saying that the seller is knowingly selling a fraud as they may well have bought it to resell and been duped themselves.

I remember one time I wanted a 64G Kingston USB stick and the seller I used bought a carton of what he thought was the genuine article only to be stooged. This seller had a 100% rating in the 1000's so was not going to risk his rep on a tiny profit.

Its fake. UK hasnt gotten in anything new. If it was new, it would be wave 3 and the US has seen wave 3. Wave 3 was golds, not silvers.

Wanted to include the link. I can't fathom this is legitimate at this point. Somebody got seriously taken! Nowhere does it say it's official or is some sort of special release. If it was legit, the seller couldn't say, "The only one on ebay!" So I guess there's no outright lying here, but it's incredibly deceitful.

This is why the pearl Hex and blue translucent Bash are probably a better way to go in regards to exclusives. Those are much harder to fake.

Admittedly, anyone buying on ebay should do ten seconds of homework to see that there has never been a silver Stump Smash released.

I stand by my previous statement. Blow up the pic and look @ the packaging.

I agree with you that I believe it is fake but please clarify for the audience what areas of the packaging look suss.

Lets go with the most glaring problem. Stump Smash's catch phrase is only in english on the front. On every single one of my sealed characters, and yours, it has the catch phrase in english and french. [speculation] Now with this being shipped directly to england, it may not have any other languages on it, but I doubt that. This can be verified by looking at other pictures of packages sent straight to england.[/speculation]

The Plastic looks smoked where the figure is standing instead of clear see through. The spots where it is "glued" to the cardboard back look suspect as well.

edit : ok, so the most glaring problem isnt a problem, LOL. But the packaging is. If you look at this package - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BNIB-Skylanders-Stump-Smash-/290672756222?pt=UK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item43ad7245fe#ht_500wt_1288 - you will notice that the plastic is not as large as the cardboard backing itself. In the silver one, it appears that the plastic is larger than the cardboard backing.
