I went to Big Lots today, looking for KO G1 combiner sets. Instead, I got a KO TM2 Megatron. As you can see from the picture, I got the variant that most closely matched the original toy. Sure he has no weapons, but I can just pretend his dragon-head arm is a flamethrower. Anyone else buy any KOs recently?
EDIT: Technical difficulties + No picture-editing software + too-big picture= No picture. If I can resolve the technical difficulties and crop the picture, I'll put it up. -------------------- QUOTE(Contrary Mary @ Jul 10 2010, 09:24 PM)  boobs count as accessories. |

If you upload the pic to Photobucket there's a built-in resize and rotate feature you can use for this sort of thing.
It also generates HTML and BB code you can use to share and post your pictures all over the internets. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif) --------------------  |

Earlier today I bought a red version of the Machine Wars Mirage mold at a Longs Drugs store, it came with two guns(I think the guns are different than with the original figure), I'ts a pretty fun figure and the quality seems okay. I don't have any pictures though.

I bought a cheap "20th anniversary OP" wannabe that's about the size of a Deluxe, and has to remove its arms and head in order to transform, just earlier this week.

Nah. I was sort of tempted by some Cybertron knockoffs I saw, but they were just terrible. Actually, I wonder if they weren't just blown up versions of the Legends versions, now I think about it.

I'm currently waiting for the 5 KO WST G1 Gestalt sets(plus Landcross). I'm sure they'll be here this coming week. I'm all abuzz.

I wish I could find a KO Menasor with every Stunticon that isn't misassembled. There's gotta be one out there!

I saw the old school g1 combiners on sale at walgreens a couple weeks ago. They had:
Superion Devestator Bruticus Defensor so I picked them all up. They were 5.99 each I've heard there is a new Chinese KO of Predaking that is orange and gray... have not been able to find it in the US anywhere. This post has been edited by VeritasZB: Jan 22 2008, 06:22 PM |

I did see one set with a full set of Stunticons, no Technobots mixed in, but they are all recolored into rainbow colors.

 ...or should I? Group: Citizen Posts: 7,252 Joined: 29-January 03 From: on the run Member No.: 2,111 Faction: Free Agent |
Just picked up a roughly Deluxe-sized Fortress Maximus KO... GREAT little toy, much nicer than the TF Jr. version.... flip-out hip guns, shin mortars, opening backhand panels, opening ramps, jail, calf-gun/helicopter pad, etc. Found it in HK.

I've not actually found anything new lately. Just a couple of newer series Gundam KO's at Big Lots, which I passed on. I've got most anything else you tend to find.
The Dollar Tree Prime is pretty cool, I got all 4 variations at the time. I think Classics Cliffjumper got one of the Prime guns, the rest and the axes are around somewhere. Classics Prime already has enough cool guns. When you consider they are only a buck each, it's a pretty good deal. I need to check Walgreens, I suppose, I could use a spare KO Bruticus. These things tend to have enough brittle parts/cheapness that it's best to get two of everything. I've found a ton of those Cybertron legends kos. In three different size ranges, no less. There's some tiny ones of Brimstone(yeah, never even got a real legends toy...), Leobreaker, and Scourge. And some larger ones of the same. And then I found a set of bigger ones at Walmart way back, that was the one that gave legends Prime a faux trailer that turned into wings and his big rifles, pretty cool. Pretty good quality on that set. Seems like it was Evac, SS, Prime, Megs, Hotshot, and Jetfire. Those are between deluxe and basic sized. -------------------- |

I didn't notice that. Looks like the red and blue cars were switched when showing robot modes.
No one ever said KO package makers were perfect. Or trying. -------------------- |

I got these in the mail yesterday. Pretty good quality and very attactive alt modes (dino-bots) for a new mold figures. Didn`t realize they were a KO until after bidding cause I thought they were dinozone figures at first glance.
