Good deal? Or too good to be true? - Cybertron.CA - Canadian Transformers News and Discussion

My understanding is that Alternators Wheeljack is expensive and hard to find. I found this today:

http://www.robotkingdom.com/services...lang=us&CatID=

Could this be a KO? Or just a good deal? Note that shipping is ~$20 for a single figure, but less per figure the more you get.

Would a group buy be in order here?

If I'm not mistaken, that's the European version: note the lack of any box art, replaced instead with a picture of the toy.
I think some of North-American-rarer toys were slightly more abundant in Europe.

hmmmmm....robotkingdom is a reputable store. Id assume it's not a KO. But im not that educated on the Alternators series.
If anything i'd confirm with robotkingdom if i were you. Just be like, no offence but i saw ur amazing price and thought it was way too good to be true. Can you please confirm if KO?
(now that i think of it, it kinda sounds offensive but hey this is online buying)

I say Good Deal, till you find out the shipping.

I thought the Euro versions only came in the bubble boxes only, but with pics of the pic. (Looks the Alt Mirage).

IMO, I'm smelling KO, just in a nicer box.

Yeah, that just looks like the Euro version and it's at 'close-out' pricing. If you look in the Alternators/BT section of Robotkingdom, you'll see the same Wheeljack for their normal price with a few more pics of the same box.

Also if you notice in their Transformers section, there's a few "China BT Tailer made Binaltech ..." which would denote the KO Alt/BTs.

it looks like the company is based out of Hong Kong... not sure if that helps.

here is there who is from networksolutions

http://www.networksolutions.com/whoi...botkingdom.com

and according to networksolutions the site is non sucure and not setup for e-commerce. Also if something goes wrong there is no real way of reaching them since they don't have a phone number or address posted
