    Some of these loose KO's turn out great after some superglue or nail polish in the joints

    Yeah, my Brave God Max KO is pretty awesome, with a few loose joints/pegs. Drill Max needs a little work on his head so it stays in place, too. I need a dremel or something.

    I'm REALLY tempted to get the RiD Galvatron KO. Or maybe the Megatron. Anyone know anything about these two KOs?

    Just made a stop today, to the closest one, they had the Aerialbots, Constructicons, Rescue bots. All sets only $6!!!! Now, I have opened them and inspected, the arm joints on the aerial bots are a lil weak, the ones on the constructicons are ok, a couple are a lil bad. Combining on the Aerialbots are fine, combining to Devastator are a lil bad around where the torso and legs combine. But for 6 bucks you can't go too wrong.

    I agree. The funny thing is that I've actually been lucky with the quality of the KO's that I've bought so far, lol. I hope that I'll be able to get my hands on some of those minicon KO's. I have some good kitbashing ideas for some of them.

    QFT! It always surprises me how people get surprised that these KO's aren't up to the same quality as the originals...

    Well, I knew KOs would lack the quality of a real TF but I knew that when I was gonna buy them. I just would rather spend the $6 and get something closer than a hundred or more on a regular one.

    Just curious, but, can someone that has the oversized KO of this minicon post a couple of photos comparing it's size to a deluxe sized toy (Classics Starscream or Bumblebee would be perfect)? Thanks in advance if someone can help me. Also, if you have the military one's, if you could include them in the photos, that would be awesome.

    Hey I just came from BL tonight and bought the 3 robots that transform in to a HUGE robot

    They are:

    White Jet Plane
    Red Car (Looks Like Rodimus Prime)
    Blue Tank/Drill Robot

    Which figures were these originally and does anyone have pics??

    And these are far the BEST built bootlegs were high quality and has alot of die cast parts in them

    Thanks Man!

    I was thinking I could use these for some kitbashing but they are too well made to destroy

    If only all of these sets were so well made...:confused:

    What? Where?

    I got that set years ago, and it didn't have any die cast parts.

    I love those little yellow Primes. I'm not sure why they need a police lightbar...but still, I need to grab a couple of those suckers. It's a shame the Big Lots nearest to me is a craphole. And the manager is a giant ass. Which I guess would explain why the store is a craphole.
