Re: help identify KO

I wonder if you can make use of the bar code on the box to find out?

Re: help identify KO

Appears authentic. The packaging, foam, toys, partially removed Kmart price tag, etc., looks like legit 35 years of wear and tear that can't easily be faked. Also, the font type and placement of art on the box appears to match the original...KO versions haven't been able to duplicate the original exactly.

$550 cad in that condition is too much regardless of authenticity

Re: help identify KO

It looks authentic, but why would you want to spend that much on this set? They probably can still be found in stores or much cheaper on Ebay.

My bad, you're right. Still overpriced though, I'd rather get the Combiner Wars one or Gravity Builder at that price.

Re: help identify KO

Looks totally legitimate to me but they need to drop the price, considering the box condition and the fact that it was just officially reissued for a second time.

Re: help identify KO

There are plenty of offers for under 200$, on ebay.
Check this one out, per example. You get something like that and then treat yourself with a nice set of Reprolabels stickers.

Yeah from experience, I put that set closer to $300. And yeah, you could get a pretty sick gravity builder for that money but it’s apples to oranges.

The vintage box and foam is usually more expensive than the actual robots in Devastators case
