I finally fell victim to the "If it's too good to be true, then it probably is." I too saw the ad for the "Captain America 75th Anniversary shield" $349.89 marked down to $39.99. Received the "shield" today. It is not even remotely the same item. Arrived in a plain brown box, missing paint, cheap "leather" straps... no where near what it pictured. At the same time I ordered the "Metal Mjolnir Thor Solid Adult Hammer Collectible 1:1 Replica" which claims is great for cosplay. It was indeed a solid hammer made of metal, but the damn thing was more a paperweight than it was an "Adult" 1:1 replica. Items came from China, no response to any of my queries. Address on website says London, UK... but I highly doubt it. $80.00 down the drain.
