What is Knock Off? Is that a brand? and 150.00?? Aparently I'm missing something. Could someone fill a brother in?

A Knock Off (Or KO for short) is a product made by another company other than the one who originally manufactured it. And I'm not surprised at Mirage's price, since his original mold is broken, he should sell fast. Maybe I'll get one, I'm still in need of a G1 Mirage................

$150 for a KO??? I don't care if it's Mirage or not, that's too much.

I don't care if the original mold is broken or not, I'm not paying $150 for a slaggin' knock off! Heck, I could find a half decent loose *real* Mirage cheaper than that (yes, I have seen plenty)! As far as Devestator/the Constructicons go, this was a very dumb choice. I mean, how many Devestator and lone Constructicon knock offs do we need? I see at least one or two a month at Big Lots and various other places. Doesn't take much to buy one and paint it green and purple, if it's not already. It's hard to believe that this one will be any better when it comes to quality.
Sorry to rant here, but this just bugs me.

I don't know about that, but people have paid $70 to $100 for the KO of Dinobot: Swoop on eBay. I paid $60 for the KO of Predacons: Predaking. I think it's a wait and see on the quality of the KO's...

O_O; $150 for a freaking KO!? As for Devestator...gezz, that proble the 6th KO I herd of. Tomy Takara should step in and stop these KO and release both of em them self. Now that would worth the money.

I agree $150 for a knock off is insane.
I know the origional mold is broken. I also have Mirage and from what I can see, it looks good.
So my question, how about an "official" authentic, reconstruction?
No improvements('cept on the clip for the shoulder rocket), just take a old one and redo it.
That would be cool!

i feel sorry for those people who blow over 20 dollars on fake immitations made of low quality plastic and no metal parts.

Why can't they make a new mold? Is it too expensive for Takara Tomy to make a new mold? We bought enough Reissue and Repaint toys from Takara Tomy that they can send their kids to College...

They either used the wrong currency symbol or forgot a decimal.

I have a KO Devastator. But $150 for a KO Mirage. Completely ridiculous.

If you're dumb enough to spend that kind of money on a rip-off, you'll get what you deserve.

I didn't even think anyone BOUGHT knock offs. I always thought these threads about knock-offs on ebay were just to warn us they were knock offs and avoid them.
Anywho, I had no idea the Mirage mold was broken. When did this happen?

knock offs should only be used as spare parts or kit bashing.
