Was it just to let us know we are all chumps for paying so much for ours? That's pathetic. And now we are just encouraging him by commenting. He goes back and forth about it not being a fake, then it being a KO and he's ok with it and then going back to saying it is not a fake. His constant denial (ex: refuting photographic evidence) and inconsistent attitude really makes me think this is all a big joke.
So I recommend we stop wasting our time commenting and let this thread die.
I'm right here you know jerk I think your the troll the point of the thread was me getting an amazing deal and letting other people know that it is possible to get great prices in transformers and not pay the ridiculous Takara mark up can you tell my what optimus KO has a trailer ? and what mastepriece Megatron ? He doesn't have a KO
Who wouldn't want a bargain? No self respecting collector would want to pass up an offer of a life time?
In ebay, fortunately, all my vintages g1 purchases are 100% original. But "Loyal to the End", I have many regrets in relation to the MP series, one of which is skipping the MP cars and Rodimus Convoy (the latter being a walking time bomb whose shoulders are literally ready to explode). WJ is my 1st aside from Takara/Tomy Optimus,SW, Megs,MP-01,Grimlock and the cassettes and looking how great he came out
If indeed it's a conscious choice on your part to buy a KO fine. But the basic gist of all the posters in the thread is warning you it's a K.O. so buyer beware. Also, if you support the unofficial KO products (3rd party re imagined figures are kind of a gray area), then Tomy will not have an incentive to make them. In fact, it already has spoiled the market with a lot of KO Sideswipes and the Datsun cars. Who suffers? Us collectors.
MP-05, well, as previously mentioned, a planned mini KO was in the works Did it get manufactured, your guess is as good as mine. So maybe you are safe with Megs but if you are in Australia, I heard that you need a special permit to own MP-05. Good luck then.
