Since the plan is to repaint all seven of the named seekers eventually there's not much point. Off the top of my head what's coming at the moment is 2 orange and 1 yellow. I'll be happy enough with those provided the plastic isn't too crumby. £35UK for the lot inc shipping I can't really complain too much anyway. Anyone had any of these yet?

The KO Aerialbots have the same color as their G1 counterparts. These figures got "USA" stickers all over them - I mean you can see "USA" text stamped four five times on a single jet. Whoever made these figures must be really patriotic or something.

The Aerialbots set comes with a gun, but without a shield, so there is NO base mode of Silverbolt.

I actually like the yellow KO Devastator for not having a G1 color. Plus it only costs $6.

I wish Big Lots had KO Menasor and Predaking. KO combiners wave 2! Com'on!

my ko's didnt have any usa stickers but the stickers were just thrown on all over the place anyway the devastator is awsome for 6 bucks and they did have a wannabe predaking I got as well its abit diff but I assume its suppose to be inspired by prediking
overall imo, A great deal for 6 dollars

The KO Predaking can be found on eBay or Greattoys.net...

I can get behind that sentiment! I'd like to see Big Lots come out with Menasor, Computron, Tripredacus, and Piranacon (heh heh, could you imagine how well that one would sell!)

Anyway, my local Big Lots had quite the amount of stuff. Some Centaur looking guy (one in black and the other in white), the Aerialbots, Constructicons, some generic Insect robots, Protectobots, some animal combiner Predaking-wannabe, some oversized Street Speed Minicons each in it's own package, a generic blue Sideswipe, a generic Prowl, a generic Hot Shot, some Dinobot wannabe four packs, two Power Ranger KO's, Transmetal Optimus Prime, Transmetal Megatron, Optimal Optimus (one orange, the other Camo), RID Galvatron (one blue, the other white), Heinrad, Transmetal Ratrap, lots of Micromaster combiners, and a lot of little four inch Beast Wars. I know I saw Ratrap, a frog, a skunk, Scarem, a Pteranadon, and a bat.

You can buy KO's of Predacons: Predaking on eBay and Greattoys.net. It's expensive for KO's. You can find them for about $30 because of the quality of the KO's are the best I've seen. I unfortuantely bought them when they were $60 and shipping was $36 through global express...

by **adam-x** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 2:44 pm

anyone have a link I went threw like 60 ebay pages and gretatoys and no predaking... :shock:

Already got mine (Actually you can read my review of the figures at the blog on http://www.myspace.com/unicronstapeworm ). I'd just like little kids who normally wouldn't have the chance to get this guy see him for sale at a Big Lots.

I just clicked nonstop through all 25 pages of this thread... these things really are fantastic. Wish I had a Big Lots nearby!

Thanks for sharing, all.

My Big Lots needs to get in the KO Defensor. He's the only gestalt I now nor ever owned.

Alas, I have no Walgreens stores nearby either.

I think someone already posted pics of this one, but below is a knockoff G1 Devastator that I picked up during a visit to Shanghai a couple of months ago. I wrote a bit more about the figure (as well as the other toys that I picked up overseas; you might be interested in the cutesy transforming animals as well) in this article, in case anyone is interested in reading. But yeah, it's a pretty cool display piece.

by **wide angle** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 11:27 pm

finally went and hit up the other big lots in town, and surprise!! they had just about every KO in! even the combiners sold in two packs (the only way they had ko combaticons, 'cept you'd have to find onslaught elsewhere) which is good for me because i can replace busted ass blades (hard to call a guy blades when he doesn't have any!!) they had these go-bot looking combiners, the power ranger looking ones, these 3 set combiners (one of them looked like twin twist?) defensor, superion, devastator and these Auto-Bots that were generic versions of sideswipe, prowl and a few molds i did not recognize. i may have to blow some dough!!

I actually picked that one up in the lobby/souvenir area of the Oriental Pearl Tower. It was probably the last place I expected to find bootleg toys during the trip (and the last real place I had the chance to visit before being bound to my hotel room for the remainder of the trip by a very nasty case of food poisoning), but there you go.

And you guys were right -- Big Lots is a HAVEN for TF bootlegs. I traveled far and wide to find one in the state, and when I got there I was practically dancing in the aisles. Here's what I got this visit (Cybertron Prime is just there for size comparison purposes), but I am already very much looking forward to my next!
