Re: Un"Encore"able
Thanks for all the useful info, guys.
I tried to hold off on buying the KOs, especially the dinobots, in hopes that the encore versions would get released.
The KO dinobots are not bad, but they cost way more than the official reissues.

Re: Un"Encore"able
that's the main thing i don't get about the kos, is why the heck are they so expensive? there's no reason for it, a normal autobot car is reissued at $40 not almost 100, they are trying to screw people bad, if i want a sunstreaker or wheeljack i'll pay the extra $10-$20 and get a real one thanks lol

Thanks... I thought they used TM Ratty cause it was a larger scale and would fit better in the larger box?
Damn, why doesn't Hasbro just remake the molds? I can't imagine it being that difficult especially for fan favs like the Dinobots

Re: Un"Encore"able
I bought a G2 grimlock for myself when they were new back in the 90s. It's identical enough for my taste.

Blame on the greedy seller trying to make a killing. a KO dinobot goes for 150 RMB in China, thats 24 CND. With EMS and everything the reasonable price should be 40-50. But hey, there are people willing to pay 75 for it.

Their market Value in China is 24, and that is not even the wholesale price. I think wholesale would be around 18 CND. There are less competition for KO and higher G1 needs in Canada, thats why sellers can up the price and still get people to buy them

Re: Un"Encore"able
Wowzers. Well, if that's the case, I'll be happy with the Grimlock I found in my basement last weekend [that I didn't know I had] all the more, even if he is missing his gear and has a broken dino-arm.

As long as buyers are willing to toss huge money for it, the sellers have no reason to lower the price.

Re: Un"Encore"able
I'm surprised that we didn't get Devastator. The G2 was out in the mid 90's so I'm sure they still have the molds.
