Dats a thing.... non PO offer is rm600. if can get it for rm500 will be better.

But yeah MP Dezaras, though he's technically be a heavy retool of Grimlock due to how similar their transformation is. And seriously 3P needs to move on to Japanese G1 already. Landcross, JRX, LioKaiser and RoadCaesar pls!
Fansproject has already started with their Dinoking tease





isn't the dinoking you referring to is the FansProject Lost Exo Realm series? or they are different?

X2O price, including shipping also more than rm 500 already lor hehe.. I think for now I will keep first. If they release a Victory Leo will use the 2nd one for combined mode I think.

I'll keep an eye out to see if anybody selling etc and let you know.

If the rumors are true, Hasbro will also release their own version of Slingshot and it should be a TRU exclusive unit so i will definitely be getting it for the sake of completion but to be honest, i was very skeptical towards Alpha Bravo but man, have I grown on him. If you asked me, Alpha Bravo seems like the better mold amongst the other Aerialbots =O but nonetheless, I will have him replaced with Slingshot (if it gets released) and have Alpha Bravo hung on a string in "chopper mode" in my display shelf =P

Yeah, the Perfect Effect thing seems like a great add-on kit.

though it may seems unfair to those who stick to the only original ideology but think of it from another angle, it actually gives an opportunity to many who doesn't have the financially ability to also fulfill their childhood ambition.

though i collect only from the original lines but i don't despise these KOs or people who collect because i think everyone should have a fair chance. if you have the money then go for the original and if not, KO will do just fine.

at the end of the day, it all boils down to personal satisfaction. besides, one must not forget, they are afterall no matter how expensive, they are still a toy.

talking about KO, my gawd, my friend's KO Buster Prime looks as good as mine the difference can only be seen during transformation.

so yeah, KO may seems bad for business and "unfair" for original collectors but on the long run, if they have that consistency in quality control, they may actually drive these original manufacturers mad to lower down their price (competition) and i really love that because really, these original toys prices are off the roof. The price of a voyager now is the same as a leader class back then -.-

since we are on the topic of KO, what is your view on these 3rd party manufacturers (Green Giant, Warbotron etc). Technically speaking, they do not have the "official license" to manufacture them but people are praising them and willing to pay a fortune to own them. this is something that i also cannot agree with my friend who deems these "3rd parties" are "not KO".

Isn't the definition of Knock Offs also include anything that is not from the original manufacturer?

If they praise these "3rd parties" and at the same time despise the other "KOs" like Buster Prime etc, isn't it contradictory?

What is your view on this?

Its too cool. Must have. So bought anyway

knockoffs is somewhat imitation from originals ..
3rd parties have their own designs and engineering

We beat this horse to death a while back in an earlier thread regarding KO vs 3rd party.

My perspective is that as a collector, you vote with your wallet.

Voting for KO means you're supporting stagnation of innovation because the characters and moulds are shameless rip-offs.

If more people turn to KO, we will see less and less original moulds. We are selfishly killing creativity.

Voting for 3rd party means you are still supporting intellectual property theft - but at least you're voting for innovation since 3rd party has their own moulds and are typically a few years ahead of HasTak in terms of engineering.

Personally, I can still live with intellectual property theft provided there is some form of meaningful originality to it. But not blatant KOs.

So I feel being poor is no excuse to buy KO because you're indirectly screwing over the rest of the fandom with your actions.

If you can't afford something, freaking save up for it instead of making flimsy excuses!

Wow. Instant profit of additional rm150 for retailers who stocked up lot of mp24.

Note to self.

Po first. Regret later.

I have an extra MISB SS if anyone wants.

RM500, COD at Caltex Bandar Utama.

No coin unfortunately.

If you guys rajin check eBay, there are a couple other people selling there too.

Will stop visit this thread to prevent heartache seeing the price.

just got my SS helmet /big head replacement from toyshop, the shop owner got the helmet /big head from another box of SS tat has oredi been opened, apparently another buyer was missing a landing gear/wheels on his SS……..so better check your SS when collect to b safe, don't keep MISB wei

Question for everyone:

What would you do if you buy an MISB TF from someone, and the item turns out to have a defect or missing part?

Would you ask the seller to refund you?

And if you're the seller, would you accept responsibility, given that the item is MISB?

(This is assuming it's been too long for the seller to return the item to the place he originally bought it from.)

Lost Exo Realm is Cybertron-ish G1 dinobots. Dinoking is the Dino/Monsterbot combiner from TF Victory.

I believe the seller should accept some form of responsibilty, since the seller is the one who decided to keep MISB without checking parts for whatever reason (i think we know what the reason usually is )
So it falls on the buyer and seller to work something out.. we both know the seller kept it MISB so he wont accept returns.. there's no 1 size fits all solution here.. maybe a partial refund or a freebie, depends i guess.. but definitely a big no to "f u, its not my problem anymore, you bought it, you settle it"

At least TF also easier, I see some ppl sell like HotToys.. the item still in the outer "brown box" (and that is actually a selling point for some fo them .. lol)

Best is to buy MIB.. Sealed or not what's the big deal la.. I feel better getting something that is MIB, so at least I can still check the item..

Agreed, MIB is better to me.

Anyway, the only noticeable difference between MIB and MISB is a strip of selotape... and that can be easily replaced.

Then comes the dispute that some things are sold as MISB but MIB or worse, BIB
just be careful when buying.. i usually insist on checking items, even MISB ones, before the seller runs off.. just to make sure it doesnt fall apart immediately when taken out of the box
