Wait, but isnt there another section on the site where you can post those pictures? Because this is transformers toys discussions and KOs are not approved nor licensed nor legal transformers toys. Yeah, here is the right section.

Also, MPs are expensive because of the work that went into them. KOs had much less work done since they simply reverse engineered the mold. Simply said, if the MP that was costly to develop did not exist, then you couldnt get the KO which was quite cheap to produce in comparison. And If people start buying more KOs because they are cheaper, instead of the real MPs, then they simply wont make MPs anymore. And without MPs, there is nothing for the thieving KO companies to steal from and no more great molds for you to buy.

While in principle this may be true, many if not most collectors buying a line as expensive as Masterpiece editions, who are willing to spend the coin required will not buy KO's even if given the option. By the same many if not most who purchase KO's are doing so for reasons (can't afford the real ones, buying for customization, funky recolorings) that don't impact the sales of MPs enough that Has/Tak would make a difference.

That said... as this is the haul thread....

I got the Generations Protectobots sets from Amazon since they were stupidly cheap. Most of them are kinda loose but not too bad. The Helicoptor is a horrifically bad figure. at roughly $7 per figure, it's a pretty good deal though.

HOLY SH..!!!!! Totally there with you Shajaki. That is exactly how I felt when I read that line. Wow, you would think the mold degradation would worsen things but it looks like they can still improve stuff along the way.

This week I just picked up Combiner wars Optimus Prime, Firefly and Alpha Bravo, and Generations Brainstorm. I love this Brainstorm figure. I never cared much about headmasters before, but I just love his design. The headmaster gimmick doesn't quite work as intended, but it comes out easily enough on mine. I love how the jet mode reminds me of an Arwing from Starfox, and I've been interested in a spaceship transformer with a pilot figure for a while.

As for Combiner Wars, I like Optimus Prime well enough and don't have any major complaints. Alpha Bravo seems a little lazy in helicopter mode with the arms just there, but I like him anyways. Firefly is a little awkward in arm mode with the tail of the jet getting in the way of a help weapon, but otherwise is better than Alpha Bravo in general.

Honestly, I'm liking how large and substantial these new figures are. When I get two more limbs, I feel like my Ultra Prime could beat the crap out of my G2 Generations Fall of Cybertron Bruticus.

Brainstorm is by far my favorite figure I've picked up in a while.

Just grabbed AoE Hot Shot and Snarl for $10 from Target.

I also found a little flea market inside a mall that had RoTF Voyager Longhaul and Mixmaster (the non-G1 repaint)! They were also $10 each, which is awesome since I've seen them on Ebay for as low as $50! Good day for me.

It's always fun to randomly find great and OLD figures in a store. Especially at that price! Made me remember the time when I found TWO MOSC Universe deluxe Prowls on clearance at Sears for only 10$ each! Those were found at the time of DOTM. So, I bought the two, one to open, one to keep sealed.

Never pass up the opportunity to check those small non-chain stores and open markets. They can be a treasure trove of older or strange finds.
A couple months back one near me still had a hidden peg of allspark figures. Nothing I needed, but could be gold for someone else.

[shajaki]

so.... y'all ready to see something insane?
but first, some context. this is (or rather, has become) my loot room. its a spare room in my house that i keep my comics in, and when i got heavily back into TF's i just started tossing stuff into that room. im finally taking steps to set up a proper display which includes: buying shelves, organizing boxes, and renovating a room in my basement. i hope to have all this taken care of by the end of this summer.

now, welcome to my nightmare...

[Va'al]

Holy cardboard.

Make me think about how much Construcbots TFs I need to open when I finally set my TF room. For now, it's still full of unpacked boxes from my last October moving....

I'm so lazy...

My birthday's today. Got the last four RiD wave 1 figures I didn't have: 1-step Bumblebeee, Sideswipe, and Strongarm, and Hyperchange Bumblebee. I think my hyperchange Bee is defective, though, his head doesn't come up all the way and he looks like he's hanging his head in shame. Is that normal?

[XLordXGrimlockX]
