It's been getting to the point where I'm afraid to buy vintage. KO sellers even go as far as removing the packaging in order to make these figures sell.

Maybe Takara will Encore these 3? If not then the G1 market is screwed. We're at what, 20 identical G1 KO's?

I friggin' hate these things.

damn those look good. It's getting so hard to tell the real ones from the KO's these days without micro-analyzing the entire package looking for a missprinted line or something. It's ridiculous.

Unless it's a Takara Encore I don't trust any of them anymore, which is a shame since there are a lot (like these 3) that I really want to get.

Lol....those are some pretty good KO's as much as it pains me to say it, I would be tempted to pick these up. I bought a KO clear Mirage and a KO Swoop from this seller for the hell of it and both are outstanding to be honest. Their was supposed to be a KO Sunstreaker as well but he has yet to surface. Lol, that red Decepticon logo on Scourage has to go tho! :lol:
