Nothing is sacred to them...

I got a bit upset when all those KO Human alliance TF toys ruined the secondary market.

One year ago, I was able to sell most of my $30 Human Alliance movie toys Without taking a loss.

A few months ago, I tried to sell my 2007 MISB Human Alliance Bumblebee toy. Thanks to all those China KO auctions selling those $30 Human Alliance movie toys for $20 with free shipping. My toy was now depreciated in value. Being a small time seller I wasn't prepared to sell this toy for $12 less than what I paid for it at retail. Then take another loss by paying for free shipping fees out of my sellers pocket for the buyer. I was unable to compete with these KO China sellers, So I kept the toy.

That's why you shouldn't scalp. If it's still MISB, you had no intention of opening the figure and enjoying it even for a short time.

It's a shame that Grimlock's tail doesn't peg together and the feet fold in. I would love to have the blue one for my G2 shelf, but that tail looks really bad. Maybe for robot mode. A lot of yellow, I gotta think about it...

Edit: I just saw the hollowed out back and head. That's too much for me.

One of them is very close, but buying both versions and with a few parts swapped would offer up a potentially cheap custom Artfire!

Looking to get a KO Fansproject Protector, I was going to buy from ioffer however have heard that they were selling a very poor quality one and dont really want to take the chance. I see its available off sirtoys, classed a "hard plastic", I know a few people have bought off here and just wanted to know if it would be worth buying.

Paul @ SirToys is a lovely chap and his website offers all sorts of hidden jems, official and unofficial.

I was looking at getting the KO Masterpiece Sideswipe and I was wondering how the quality is on it compared to the official one.

Just type in KO Masterpiece Sideswipe in the Youtube site. Their are plenty of fans there that did video reviews of this toy alongside the liscensed Takara one.

Hi I am looking to get a KO City Commander set and I see there are two versions.

SirToys are selling this one

http://sirtoys.com/toys.php?c=16&p=709&t=FP_City_Commander.html

Which I'vew seen reviews for.

However I have also seen this on on eBay, which comes with shoulder cannons (all be it the wrong colour) which is a bit cheaper.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181045238481?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I'm just wondering if they are comarable in quality or is one better than the other?

BTW I am aware of the floppy arms problem and am willing to mod the set to fix this.

Not too sure if one is better than the other. In regards to the shoulder launchers, its worth emailing Paul/SirToys and asking him if he has a spare set he could throw in, you never know!

Looking at the Ebay sellers pics, the sword looks to be a solid blue plastic and not the semi translucent version which some of the earlier KOs came with (if I remember correctly), plus the later KOs also seem to come in that plain white box rather than the copied FP box. :-B

Yeah I noticed that about the sword too Mel, I've had a look at the eBayers feedback for the city commander set and he's got nothing but good feedback for it, so I'm thinking I'll buy from him, as it's cheap enough as a stand in until I can find an affordable official version. BTW I took you advice on ordering the Protector set from SirToys, thanks for the recommendation.
