Re: transformers knock offs

I don't know how much this will help, but I can tell you this. The cheaper KO devastator molds are way off from the original. Not only is the plastic and quality really cheap, trying to combine the figures is tricky at best, even with the parts that came with it. The part fits are all over the place. Sometimes they're too big, too small, or just right. An educated guess, I would say probably not. I've tried KO figures with real G1 combining parts and it doesn't really work. Although you could probably MAKE it work with an exacto knife and some modding.

W.T.F! I mean...why...who...what...? Gah! What? But, why? I don't get it.

So they're boxes of cigarettes that turn into peacocks. But they're toys...for kids?! Are they trying to get kids to smoke? And why peacocks? Why not just robots?

I'd like to see these being sold in stores in Canada or the US. Parents would flip their lids!

I've put my first order in with them.
Got an email from Tony saying he noticed that one of the items I ordered had a broken part, it was the last one in stock and that next batch would be in tomorrow and apologized for the delay.

Good communication and service so far.
I'll let you guys know when they arrive.

Re: transformers knock offs

^^ so awesome...I'm a Roadbot collector, Paul...how can I get the catalog, and more importantly, how can I get their products? BBTS and TF Source do not seem to be getting new stock, and Ebay prices were off the wall thanks to only 1-2 sellers offering new figs...

how do i get one of these?
