THE KNOCK OFF TRANSFORMERS THREAD

[unluckiness]

Knockoff Missing link Optimus is 75 USD at show z and other Chinese platforms, although cheaper, come pretty close after shipping and other fees.

For that much, may as well get the real thing.

KO Missing Link Prime is on the way to my doorstep! What is great about this is that as the shipping is really cheap, it's significantly cheaper than the original (even living in Japan) and possibly has more diecast parts (so it might have the same amount as the original G1 version)?

ShowZ and TFDirecf have overpriced the upcoming KO Diaclone Battle Convoy to almost the same price as the original RRP?

So you complained about TT doing ML in the first place but you bought the KO? Whatever dude.

Don't have a horse in this race either way but those eyes are terrible. They didn't even fill out the sculpted space all the way.

Nose should be blue too.

Get it at Ali Express.

Broke down and bought one of these off ebay. It arrived last night and I absolutely love it. Quality isn't Hasbro-level, but was significantly better than I was expecting. I'll get some pictures and post more about it soon. I absolutely love this sort of "alternate universe G1" product.

I'm still wanting to get one for the same reason.

Are you aware of (a much more expensive) contender for your universe?

I am and I do have it. Got it on deeeep clearance a few years ago, long after it came out. It is wonderful. I love the attention to detail, the packaging, the way it feels like it absolutely could have been a late G1 release.

Some of those are still on deep clearance on BBTS. If one doesn't mind mirrored limbs instead of all different, you could even get enough to combine them. I've been thinking about it.

Wish there were a bunch of the Megazero (the elk) still available. He folds up nicely and fits in the Earthrise Optimus Prime trailer, so I'd like to have a spare one to use as a reindeer "Roller" inside of Holiday Optimus's trailer. Unfortunately, that seems to be the one component that isn't available anywhere.

That's amazing. Truly a Christmas miracle.
