I've thought about getting KO DD many times. How tall is he in inches/centimeters? Do you know where I might find some more old 80's KO's?

Probably about 12 inches in robot mode. As for who I got it from, this guy's ebay site has a few KOs. I know they're KOs of 80's figures, but they appear to be made recently.

I just opened the Cyberjets and was very happy to discover that they have all the features (landing gear, etc.) and the best surprise is that the ball joints are NOT LOOSE! They can hold up their arms perfectly. WONDERFUL!

The Cyberjets Delta Seeker and X-Gunner have been recolored so that the grey parts are white. I made took some pictures of them next to a real Hasbro use of the same mold. The only downside to them is the lack of faction symbols and that they only come with one missile each.
it looks interesting i think i would buy it but dunno.. should i waste my money on nock offs it's cheaper... hmm XD help em primus

You should definitely waste your money on the Victory Saber pack. The others I would pass on for Movie toys.

Honestly I'd vote that if you don't have a Victory Saber of your own and don't mind the fact that's it's small (Scout size), it's very high quality for a knockoff. Nothing falls off or is misaligned really. High marks for $3.

I got all six of them and have to say I'm more impressed with them than I have been any of the movie toys. Dunno sofar the only things that have interested me have been knock offs lately. They're much better than the Big Lots Robotmaster Knock offs...with the exception of maybe Mirage. Also at my infamous Burke's Outlets I've found what appears to be Powermaster Optimus Prime's trailer that transformes into robot mode with no cab, a Mini sized MP Prime, a remolded Onslaught that has one of the Six*'s heads forget which one, and some type of construction vehicles that look like something outta power rangers. Will try to get pictures if I can find the camera.

Another vote for Star Saber and Victory Leo. I stated earlier why I could see why people don't like the figures(not much posebility), but boy, are these guys fun. Several combinations and transformations make them a very, very worthy $3. And the quality's not that bad either. Also, they are in pretty much the right colors too. An even more must get if your a fan of the characters like I am.

If you don't like the figures that are available from Hasbro/Takara you have 2 choices, both of which are really good IMO. 1 is KO/Bootlegs which is why we have this enormous ongoing thread here on Seibertron. 2 is Repaints and Kitbashes. If you've followed any of my posts I always find a way to worm one or 2 in. Here's one more. Lord Saber come forth!

Yeah I know the sword is too small. I'm working on that. Anybody got any KO or other good really big swords they want to trade for something Transformer related?

At my local Entertainer (toy shop) there's things called Power Warriors (written in the same style as the Silver TF logo)

There are 4 toys I think, they don't have names, but they're obviously Optimus Prime, Hot Rod, Mirage and a tiny Metroplex. The decription on the back says that you have to fight the Nazis with these. Foreign Knockoffs really know how to market to the British, because we all want to fight Nazis. The companies name is something like Hasblo, which really made me laugh.

I noticed that Big Lots hadn't filled it's isles in months, then I got notice that there is a big clearance sale at my local one on the 22nd of July. I'm guessing after that they restock.

Hey notice how he's packaged with a gun he can't hold? no fist holes LOL.

Astrotrain looks pretty good.

Anyone notice how most recent Prime knockoffs, all have that same Robot Masters Prime type leg mould.

I've seen Armada, and Cybertron Knockoffs, that look like their counterparts from the waist up. But have that exact same leg mould from the waist down. Its really odd. Next time i see some, i'll take some pics.

My Big Lots has no KO's at all, but they do have Universe Superion Micromaster combiners. I got all 6.
I did see some cool KO's at Kohls department store. There were 3 different colors of motorcycle transformers that came with a kids shirt. $8.10 for a shirt and a bot. They were about 7 inches tall, red, blue, and green. Sorry I don't have any pictures.
