So that's the bigger display box? This is not a ko?

Your right! I missed an image in the listing:
Theres, the box you were talking about, it works!
I just sent an offer, I am hoping to get them for about 10$ US a piece (shipping included) thanks!

A little more, and it look like we're better off with KOs than the real deal!

Only problem is if we all switch to KOs, there will be no more official products to KO.
Also, Sideswipe proved that KOs are not better.

Yeah. The ethics of it are shoddy although it's hard to be sure if you're an import buyer on a budget.
What interests me more is what approach these KO makers are using. They've gotten really sophisticated.
With a bit of compensation for their mistakes, I think Hasbro could (if they haven't already) reissue things that we never thought could be reissued, get more life out of a mold, and probably manage to achieve re-tools that wouldn't have been possible before.
I'm not in the toy business but there's something interesting going on with KO manufacturing and I think it's something Hasbro and Takara could probably use.

The oft mentioned alibi that the molds are all destroyed (Dinobots,WJ, Mirage etc) Yet Takara gave the KOers a zinger when out of the blue released Encore Metroflex and of course a slightly retooled and improved version of Encore 20/20A.

Wheeljack, Mirage, Sunstreaker still have the lost/destroyed status until further notice. Metroplex was never considered as such, but the Constructicons... Something tells me they cut new molds for them (look at the minute differences between the original, and the reissue), but they were likely only able to because they found the Master from which the molds are made. Think of it like a physical blue print. Without it, you can do squat, like with the first 3 mentioned.MightyMagnus78 wrote:So I take it that Rodimus was a KO then? Is he still worth getting?
There are no MP-9 Rodimus Convoy KO's that I know of, but you can never be too careful. Do beware that the original mold has some problems, like fitting the trailer, or even worse, exploding shoulders (Hasbro versions) and very fragile knees (Black Rodimus Convoy)
