I got him in the mail today. He's pretty hard to get back into Beast mode.

Yeah, the Big Convoy mode is notoriously finicky.

His parts are always coming off when I try to transform him. I gave up last night after I got him into Beast Mode (with his arms off on the table). Uggghh. He's awesome on my display shelf, however.

You can always make a new thread, no need to necro three year old threads.

Typically, yes, he'd come with a Matrix in his chest. I don't know about knockoff versions though. I'd expect it probably does.

If you buy one, lemme know how the quality is, I'd love to pick up a Big Convoy for myself at some point.

excellent, of course, I'll let you know about the quality of the picture, I did not think it was a fake, I doubt it, for the pictures are exactly the same, the seller confirmed me with this photo that contains the matrix inside the chest,

for some reason these figures are selling as bulk products, this seller shows, if you look says it has sold 218 figures, for some reason he sells without box. I will bring you news on the figure, I already paid for it, thanks.

Most likely because they're Korean Knockoffs. There was a company (whose name I can't recall) which was making very good knockoffs of BW/BWII/BWNeo molds in Korea during and shortly after they were coming out.

It's already all been written on the previous page of this necro'd thread, but just in case you are thinking of the Korean company Sonokong... Then you'd be dead wrong about their products being KO's. Sonokong had a very legal license from Takara to produce BW / BWII / BWNeo and Car Robots (RiD) products, and their products are practically as good as Takara products. Haters like to say that Sonokong products are in some way of lesser quality, but they really are not: they are equal to Takara products, but much cheaper. Packaging is a bit flimsier, though, and Sonokong products usually come in blind boxes (no windows). I have several of their BWNeo molds, and they are of excellent quality.
I'm not aware of any BWNeo knock offs of Big Convoy, BTW. And this seller also is selling a lot of boxed Sonokong products.

Well then I fully admit my mistake, thanks for reminding me.

Also yeah, I feel kinda dumb for not simply looking a page back. :lol:
