Does anyone know if KO seekers and Jetfires are in the US? I've tried every big lots I can find and I can't seem to find them. I really want to build an "army"

Are you talking about the old G1 KO Seekers?

Oh, I should have specified. I meant Classics

It's ok. I know you can get the KO Jetfire in the US, but I don't where you can get othet than on eBay. I haven't seen the KO Classic Seekers in the US yet...

Looks like Yahobby isn't selling KO's anymore. Any idea where else may sell them?

I saw a Beast Change Warrior KO of TM2 Megatron, full size and in dark green and blue. It was at a Big Lots a few weeks back. Quite surprised.

Can anybody tell me how the quality is compared to the original or Cryotek?

[Scaleface]

It's not exactly the same size (don't expect to be able to use parts from one on the other), and it's a bit simplified and weak plastic compared to the real thing.

Oversize G1 Soundwave





I got a ton of other new stuff, will get around to posting,

[Windsweeper]

Anyone know where to get the oversized Classics Astrotrain and Tankor?

They've become my new grails!

I recently bought energon scavenger but it's missing constucticon maximus's head so I guess it can't combine

It's not exactly the same size (don't expect to be able to use parts from one on the other), and it's a bit simplified and weak plastic compared to the real thing.

Is it worth the 12 bucks though?

I have been eyeing him for a few days. Wonder how his robot mode stays up against the original.

Hi everyone, I've spotted a seller on ioffer selling the new high quality Shockwave KO. It's the first one I could find for sale. But this seller is selling them without boxes.

I just found out that the new Shockwave KO reissue is already available, boxed, and that there are 2 versions, one with a purple barrel and one with a grey barrel just like the original. Please check here:

Vintage collectors must be careful with the grey barrel versions...

Best regards

[CrabHeart]

so why is it a knockoff? it says reissue? whats its flaw?

[UltraPrimal]

It's probably poopy quality. The actual G1 Shockwave was already poopy quality to begin with. His legs and hands are notorious for breaking off, so I'm told. I'd buy a purple barreled version though. Just as long as it's for a knock-off price and not at vintage G1 price. Maybe we'll see it at BotCon.

[capellamusic]

so why is it a knockoff? it says reissue? whats its flaw?

It's a KO simply because it's an unoficial and unlicensed remake, probably done by Zhong Jin, just like the other high quality KOs. It's being passed as a Hasbro product when it's not and it's illegaly reissued.

As for it's quality I don't know as I didn't buy one yet, but I'm thinking about doing it next month as a brand new vintage one costs too much. But I have the Zhong Jin KO reissues for Mirage, Wheeljack and Reflector and I must say that they're just like Encore reissues, same good quality (even better than some: e.g. Jazz).

So, I guess that it probably is also of good quality. But the point of being a KO is because it's an illegal remake.

[capellamusic]

The seller who is selling the new KO Shockwave in ioffer has answered to 2 buyers that the next 2 KOs are Sunstreaker and Octane. Since it's the same seller saying it I guess it's true. Please check the messages on the listing for the buyers cbeck10 and gilderdave.

Quoted from one of the sellers answers:
"hi,the Sunstreaker KO and and Octane KO will come soon,maybe next month"

http://www.ioffer.com/i/Transformers-G1-Spotlight-Shockwave-KO-Reissue-IN-BOX-107072101

As for me, it's the first time I hear of an Octane KO, at least on this "good quality lineup".

Dude, that is so awesome -I can't even describe. The only thing I could want more than MP Grim right now. Highly tempting since we know H/T will never ever re-issue this guy b/c of the mold. So beautiful my eyes are getting a little misty.....
