Takara wouldn't have to modify that Decepticon symbol on the card.

Picked up the bootleg gestalts from Walgreens last night: (Constructicons, Protectobots, Aeriolbots, Combaticons) for $1 each plus employee discount! Altogether it was around $3.60

Pictures of the Bruticus KO?

PLEAAAAAAAAASE? :grin:

Tue Jan 01, 2008 3:57 pm

BBTS recently cancelled pre-orders for a restock of BT skids suspecting that the product was actually a high quality KO

So, if it hasn't already appeared on the market and i'm just unaware, we may be getting a binaltech skids KO soon.

I wish KO manufacturers would stop making realistic looking boxes that can fool the untrained collector. It's such a swindle to sell a KO at the same price of the original or higher.

But on the other hand, if a KO manufacturer sells they're product with honest credentials and makes a point of the fact that they are indeed selling a KO, then I feel less upset about that.

But then again the point arrises that it is still theft and it bothers me. But what am I to do when everyone is raising they're prices through the roof on originals? I buy a KO that's what.

My KO's:

Dai Atlas
Generation 1 Megatron
Robot Masters Victory Leo
Robot Masters Star Saber
Transmetal 2 Megatron

If its the same one I own, its the worst KO I own by a mile. Blast-offs arms are missing the joint they need to transform into robot mode, Swindle has NO FACE! Junk!

There's been so many official reissues of Bruticus(G2, Universe, RID) that you can find a real one for a decent price most times.

Tue Jan 01, 2008 4:51 pm

G1 Bruticus, G2 Bruticus, Car Robots Baldigus, RID Ruination, RID Urban Camo Ruination, Universe Desert Camo Ruination.

I'm currently hunting accessories to complete my G2 Bruticus.

But! At any rate! I'm asking for pictures of this Walgreens Bruticus KO because I've yet to see it at all. I'm just interested in the paint scheme of him.

Here is a pic of the Bruticus KO I think you are talking about.

Have anyone seen a Lio Breaker KO?

I've only seen knockoffs of the Legends size Leobreaker. He was sold in Dollar stores as Morphobot in a variety of colors.

I've got the red one, the packaging said Cybertron which is extra cheeky. It's bright red and turns into a lion, so I called it...
... :idea:

Lionhide

Ultimate Bumblebee KO

Fri Jan 04, 2008 1:00 pm

wow is that actually the same size as Ultimate BB?

Fri Jan 04, 2008 2:15 pm

Looks smaller to me.

News Credits: 1 · Fri Jan 04, 2008 4:02 pm

Does it have some version of the electronics? I'm not sure why anyone would want UBB without them! I'll laugh if this thing has more articulation than the original.

The sticker on the one is very different.

Obviously KOs.

Those are Chinese words, not Japanese words.

And the 'Con logo is altered.

LOL.
imagine someone exiting a cheap toy store with a robot that big in hand

Probably doesn't have the electronics.
If it was smaller, i'd consider getting it. Does anyone have more pics of him?

EDIT: i doubled my message by accident.

It looks kike that Bumblebee package comes with a kid's sized mask of BB's face.

If it is indeed a child sized mask, that would mean this Bumblebee KO is roughly the same size as the original!

that means "hella big". but with a better price and without the electronics. cool.

i dont want any more bumbles anymore and im certainly staying away from KO

also just saying in spain (malaga) they seam to like the KO versions of the G1 combiners eg. hotspot and onslaght but with those two replaced by a space shuttle or a oversized breakdown truck.

and final word our friend is back and i want him for my minicons! :grin:
