The Energon Pub

It seems that Brawn and Outback are the latest G1 TFs to be reproduced as seen in these auctions:

BRAWN:

OUTBACK:

This follows on the heels of so many others that have been reproduced over the past few months. We can only hope that the Encore line will continue to be a reprieve to fill our G1 void.

Collectors Beware!

These two have been around for a bid, but nice that you're looking out!

To newer fans looking for packaged G1 MiniCars, a key sign is that they where origionaly packaged in alt mode, and are gonna run you more than $12.

Cool. Thanks for letting me know as I had not come across them. I thought that Metroplex was the last one that came out.

Man don't you know the saying!?!

"everytime a G1 breaks, a KO gets it's wings"

More and more of these pop up pretty much every day.

Agreed, they make great casualties though if you can find them at a closeout store.

sometimes itll even say KO in the description. and besides, don't many collectors buy KOs on purpose?

As I said, I buy them to kill them. As for collectors that get them to put in line with other figs, I feel like thats cheating.

My collection is official product, I'm proud that I put the care, and effort into being able to say that.

I hear you my friend. Not a single KO or repro in my collection. As you can see from the pic provided THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING BABY!

I was thinking about getting a KO Outback and using it's cannon on my G1 Outback, if it has one, and trashing the rest.

Sweet my friend. Well sweet I love seeing what other people have done with their collections. Glad to see that the TF collecting is in such good hands with you

Thanks, but you couldn't have gone through all 3 slides that quickly

Go back enjoy yourself, but comment there as we have to keep this topic on track(I've been warned), plus I like comments!

Now not for nothing, you gave a teaser pic of your stash, I also love collection pics and would like to see more.

It might be helpful for collectors if they knew which G1's had had an accurate KO done, and how to tell.

Well, again the origional where packaged in alt mode. I don't check the KO thread though, so I have to ask is there a "buyer bewary" section?

I know we get KO alerts often, but is there a collective of the knowledge, with points of refrence, cause I know some of the Prime boxes are near dead on.

I just wrote one...http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=39063&p=692995#p692995
