I know where you can get a version of it, it's slightly larger than WST size, missing the Breast partners, and two of the members are changed a bit ( a weird version of Doubledealer is one member), but the price is right - it's currently bid up to $2 with free shipping.

KO Cog set.

If you have Brave Maximus, this is the set to get. It completes the package.

It comes with the two Big Guns and radar dish for Brave Max as well(not pictured).

Quality is pretty decent.

The decals are from ReproLabels of course, the set doesn't come with any stickers.

Gasket:

Grommet:

Cog:

Cerebros with the KO sword from the set:

Custom Spike w/ReproLabel

That's the one I've kept seeing floating around. It's been going for $20+ before shipping. I've put a bid on it and I'm winning right now. If I lose it's no skin off my nose. As I went as high as I thought a Micromaster Sized (individual components) Knock Off combiner would be worth. Thanks Scaleface, much appreciated win or lose.

That seller sells many of the knockoffs on ebay, wih free shipping, and starting bids at 99 cents. So I keep him bookmarked and check back often. Sometimes you get can real deals. I've picked up several sets for only a few dollars each. You just have to be patient and keep bidding at odd hours when no one else does.

thanks for the ids, I'll look into postal rates here and let you know. One seller said I could get an entire sheet of the same figure if I wanted.

also I found 4 new ones that I didn't have yet here

Got this awesome binaltech ko catalog, this is really good quality, no pixelation of the images at all, seems even better quality than the old hasbro insert catalogs

check out the entire catalog here, the guy said it's possible to get more, just need to let him know how many.

did try but no luck,aside from those scaleface had shown.i'm not sure if we can find this type on the internet anymore.back when these were around,internet was at its infancy,as far as i remembered.anyway i can check back with the seller if he does have anymore of this

Sat Nov 29, 2008 11:38 pm

Thanks man. It'd be very appreciated either way.

*edit*

I won the WSTF Liokaiser and Menatron (Menasor with Nosecone and Afterburner instead of Dead End and Wild Rider) for under $9 with shipping. Here's hoping they get to my place.

Hopefully so. I won auctions from him before and for them.

Here's some very cool looking KO's I tracked down and purchased!

1) Four of the five G1 Prehistoric Varients of the Dinobots:

2) A RARE Find..a TITANIC BOT TRANSFORMER FIGURE:

***This pic show the back side. It has a wind up feature that allows the propellor to spin!

***Here's a direct link to a site where I first encountered that he even existed:

One thing I've been wanting to know - how big is that Titanic bot?

News Credits: 1 · Mon Dec 01, 2008 2:10 pm

I was surprised about his size too! I thought it was gonna be the small size of the Machine Robo series figures. BUT>>>>he's big! He's 7 inches tall and long! :grin:

I demand someone knock off some Rock Lords and turn them into Icebergs to fight that thing!

well, i have seen this pretty often in my country (Singapore)
prices are about 10-20 Singapore dollars

http://cgi.ebay.com/ARMOURRAKKER-MODEL- ... 240%3A1318

The above liokaiser KO looks pretty good, except he cant hold the weapon as the pistol grip is too big for the hole on his fist!
and he has no breast plates too.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ADHOC-FIGHTER-MODEL ... 240%3A1318

The above is a KO Bruticus eh? Well, I have seen others such as Predaking, Superion, Constructicons, Menasor, Raiden all going at about less than 20 Sing dollars. To some fans, they are KO, but to me, its a redeco or a recolor!

Ooooooooh Oversized? I'd want to get those.

yes, I'd like to show some size comparison pics, but seems everything I've bought recently has either been oversized or undersized. I need to get a gijoe or something to put in the pics

I forgot to mention there was also a yellow version and a green version at another shop. but they wanted double (foreigner price) what I paid for these 2

they said they were bigger, but looked the same to me.

There was also another multi-colour version, I'm guessing there is multi-multi-coloured versions just like for the multi-colour jetfire

News Credits: 49 · Sun Dec 07, 2008 8:53 am

I really like the Grimlocks, and heck they would stand in for goyru in the recent club fiction. Where do you get it and how much?

Sun Dec 07, 2008 7:32 pm

At one of the many little wholesale stores in China, 25 and 30 rmb.

News Credits: 49 · Sun Dec 07, 2008 8:41 pm

I'd seriously love to buy one from someone. Anyone reselling them on ebay or something?

Tue Dec 09, 2008 1:40 am

There's a Chinese dude on tfw (link in my album) selling ko's.

he uses EMS shipping (included in his prices), which is more reliable than the regular post office. a Chinese friend told me that ems is the cheapest of the reliable methods.

Looks like it cost at least 240 rmb to mail anything, (44 cad, 34 usd)

not sure how he can turn a profit, unless he gets a big discount from both his toy suppliers and the ems service.

If I were selling them, I'd at least want to get 20 cad each + shipping, to make the business worthwhile
