Buyer Beware: KO Takara Striker Optimus Prime Campaign Battle Blades

Buyer Beware? Have you SEEN how much these cost separate? This is a good thing!

It's a good warning for people who MIGHT buy them thinking they're real, AND a good deal for some one who knows where to buy the KO's from and who has an Optimus who can use them!

WTF? I didn't know these things went for a stupid amount of money. I almost threw mine out when my wife's sister in Japan sent us a DOTM Starscream and Skywarp with the blades taped on the box. I guess I'll keep them after all and use them on my Battle hooks prime.

It's funny because I was just discussing the infamous "Buyer Beware" forum title on the dino-cassettes thread. I know the site doesnt intend to glorify KO's, but by warning buyers you are pretty much admitting how good a job they did reproducing them. I call that "props". Im not sure why anyone would pay a crazy amount of money for some blades. An exclusive figure I can understand, even a mini-con. But blades ??? Cmon now. I call these KO's justice.

Hmm... is'nt a one piece black battle blade noticably not the real thing compared to a multi pieced silver and clear orange attachment?

The all black ones are prototypes, the third image down of the colored blades in the baggy with no instructions is the finished KO product.
