Is this really a knock off? It costs as much as the real thing.

Hey itscram, not really feeling that KO MP Prime. I already have an MP 10 and with Takara making a new mold soon, I dont really need more primes. Its a nice price though and looks to be of great quality, so if you do get one i hope you enjoy it!

My dollar store is filled to the brim with new cheap Transforming toys. Some are KOs while others I think are fully original. I do like that green Optimus Prime image though, I always find those blatant swipes rather funny. Just how bold they are. Can't believe market six stores don't mind selling these.

Wow that really is filled to the brim. What retailer? I rarely see KOs at our dollar/discount stores. Tuesday Morning has been the most consistent.

I dig that transforming nerf gun, that's sweet! And is that some FoC figures I see?

It's a canadian only chain called Dollorama and many products are made just for them so these would be Canadian exclusive knock offs, all in red and white. And it turns out they do combine. I think there was something lost in translation since the FOC molds were made into wreckers and we also have movie wreckers included in the same combiner.

Just wanted to share a new ko I found that I didnt know existed. At a recent toy show, a dealer had a voyager sized version of Combiner Wars leader megatron in green.

It's also (unbelievably) somehow simplified. Maybe just lacking the rubber treads. I think I remember seeing both color variants at Ali.

Yup, just took a bit to find it.
