G1 Computron KO Giftset In The Pipeline?

A seller on iOffer.com has listed a brand new MISB Reissue Computron Giftset. The pictures on the auction look to be an old box. The description says that the seller has one new in box. This set hasn't been officially reissued, so it's safe to assume that another knock off of a G1 figure is being made. These knock offs aren't produced by Takara-Tomy or Hasbro. The quality usually isn't on par with an official reissue. Buyer beware when looking for a vintage Computron.

This has to be a re-issue KO because I have a Korean KO of the Technobots.

Doesn't this belong in the KO and 3rd party forum?

How bad IS the KO of these guys? I would love to have a set of Technobots for display....even if they are Knock-Offs, as long as they don't break when I take them out of the box.

The set I have is fairly sturdy, I haven't broken anything yet. I've seen much worse KOs, and I've seen better ones. Don't know much about this new set.

"The quality usually isn't on par with an official reissue."

To be honest, I wasn't too impressed with the quality of the OFFICIAL Piranacon re-issue set. I have an original completed set & when comparing the quality of the official re-issue piranacon set, it is comparable to KO standards. BUT overall it is still a nice addition to the G1 re-issues & hopefully this KO set will not dissapoint if you are looking to fill in the void :grin:
