Noticed in a TRU the other day that the Rampage toys are all mislabeled as Ravage. Worth anything?

I doubt its worth more since its in the wrong box totally, but you never know. Got any professional collectors in town to ask?

I'm assuming 'ravage' is a real version.. and they just boxed them wrong. if there isn't such a thing, with that gross of a misspelling, id vote counterfeit.

They are small (matchbox sized) transformers, Ravage is a cat, Rampage is a bulldozer(I think )
The Rampages have 'Ravage' on the blisterpack(the area where the toy is, but the card it is attached to is correct (Rampage). Not sure it is actually worthy anything 'extra' (except to collectors) sometimes, a misprint is worth 20-30 bucks over the price of the item...

Doesn't hurt to call a local collector store to ask them. If they ask you where you saw them you know its worth something

HI all

Dunno how much you like RPG video games, but do you remember Final Fantasy 7? They routinely sell between 80 to 100 or so... The misprints, there at least 75 dollas mo..... I say buy one and keep it MIB and then ask say in 5 yrs....

Yeah, I remember that one...
Might not be a bad idea to pick up a few...

You would need to post a pic for me to tell. Transformers released different waves, or series as they called them and had a designation for each series. You would need to know what series it was from, as they did rename a few if memory serves me, in order to know if it was mislable or rename.
In the collecting world, a mess up can be worth big bucks depending on when they found the mistake and and how many were released that way. In the DoctorWho toys they released 2 figures that were wrong. The correct figures sold for about $20.00 were as the mistakes sold for over $200.00. In Star Wars there was a mistake figure with Bobba Fett, the correct goes for $15.00, the mistake goes for $20.00, so not all mess ups are worth much , but they do seem to be worth more.

It's definitely a misprint - but as you said, I don't know how widespread it is... maybe I'll pick up a few if I get the chance.
