Anybody know where I can get the new KO Mirage for less than $70.00, seems an awful lot to pay for a KO on ebay.

Nope, it is that expensive.

That's what happens when Hasbro/Takara are unable to produce Mirage, and there's a demand for it.

Thus, the high prices for a reverse-engineered Knockoff...

Well it is higher quality than pretty much any KO. About as close to the original as a re-issue is.

I have them and I cannot recommend them enough, but price for me, is not the biggest factor for something I really want.

Then why are Devastator KOs so inexpensive?

Coz they are low-quality ones with inaccurate stickers etc.

The expensive ones are so accurate they could fool loads of people.

I expect the price will have to drop at some point. The amount of KOs you can sell at $70 is a lot less than if they dropped the price down to $20.

Just wait for the demand to die down. Th prices will drop.

I just bought an original Mirage with box and instructions (box is really good shape) for $50.00 so I wont be needing the KO but I do need reprolabels know to clean up my new, old Mirage.
