I'm sorry, this certainly sucks, but it's also really funny.

Reminds me of the old eBay scams of the early 2000s where you think you're getting a guitar but it's just a printed picture of one

Or the XBOX ONE X BOX

u/M3NUTN May 15 '26
Pretty much all of the "console" boxes lol

u/Rogan403 May 15 '26
Yeah but the rest of them were much easier to spot since box shouldn't be in the name of any others.
Who ever named the Xbox One X must've been an insider mole who secretly works for a scamming organization because that name is written in a way to make pulling that particular scam off as easy as possible.

Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal all have coverage for this. Just call the number on the back of the card/Paypal, it gets charged back and they get blacklisted from future sales.

$114 should have been a red flag. But yeah charge that back.

u/goodfleance May 15 '26
For real, $114 is way too much for a keychain and way too little for full scale replica

Lol I guess that's why the site doesnt state any dimensions. Wouldn't a fake rpg be prohibited in Canada as a replica firearm?

u/IPSC_Canuck May 15 '26
Maybe, if an RPG actually classifies as a firearm…

u/Possible_Jellyfish69 May 15 '26
Looks like there are some me very realistic airsoft versions which would definitely be legal and make good wallhangers, but they're very pricey for what they are

u/Edmonton_outdoorsman May 15 '26
Prior to May 1st 2020, RPGs were non-resticted. We could only get trainer rockets though, but it was a live RPG.

I was gonna laugh at you but I did the exact same thing, just with a Chinese version of the Solo Stove. All the marketing showed it as being essentially a clone of the real thing. I knew it would be shittier but for like a quarter of the price of a real one I just said fuck it and went for it. Got it and it is about 6 inches tall rather than the 2- 3ft it was meant to be.

If you’re just looking for wall hangers, check out airsoft shops here in Canada.

Holy shit I almost bought one. Now I want one lol where can I buy a legit replica
3
u/BriefAd20 May 15 '26
You probably could just buy an airsoft rpg and hang it. I think they are around the 2-400 dollar mark. Some are very scale in weight too

Okay but what were you expecting to get for 130$ lol. Best case you would have gotten a cheap Walmart plastic RPG toy

The item you were sent in no way matches the one in the photos. I would go through every single available avenue with that company to send it back without paying for shipping. Document everything. Your credit card will ask for all of that. If you don’t get your money back go through it with visa or paypal or whatever method you chose to buy with.

u/Ok-Regret6767 May 15 '26
I know some of y'all sleep bathe and eat with your guns... But the post referring to it as an "accessory" should have rung some bells lol

u/Isaac_Reins May 15 '26
Well, you did get an RPG... Just not "the" RPG you thought.
Sucks but hey, try calling the banks or credit card depending on how you paid.
