It recently came to attention that there are a few KO G1 cassettes that I never knew about, and I have quickly developed the desire to pick them up. Until recently, I only knew of KO's that were trying to pass off as originals, and the blatant technicolor cassettes that seem to be made up of every color in the crayola box (Example 1, Example 2) If you looks at the links below, these are the KO's I'm interested in getting,, or any that fit into their category. White Rumble/Frenzy White cassettes Orange Rumble Orange Laserbeak/Clear Blue Rumble Gold cassette I guess the only thing I like about that is that their colors could almost pass as a G1 figure, unlike the colored ones before. Others that I can think of include a Brown Ravage, and a few other colors for Frenzy/Rumble and Eject/Rewind PLEASE, if you have any to sell, or can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it! I know there are others I haven't found yet, so please don't hesitate to show any others that you know of as well!
I do have them posted in my wanted thread, but I was also curious as to how people go about searching for these as well. If an offer comes by, awesome, but if not, hopefully I pick up a few searching tips. Yeah, thanks for that!
Try: - YaHobby.com - The Online Hobbies Store for Collectibles, Toys, Crafts, Sporting Goods & more welcome They both stock KO's, so may be able to get them for you. Also try searching for 're-issues', and 're-makes' on ebay. A lot of sellers use those terms to get around listing them as KO's. For other cassettes, I've got some oversized Kabaya KO's of Frenzy/Rumble and Ravage. Their good quality, stay together, and were great fun to build. I'll dig them out and post pics later.
KO oversized Kabaya cassettes pics. I've got Frenzy/Rumble and Ravage in two colours each. I refer to the orangey red Ravage as Fire Guts Ravage (he didn't photo well though, I've got a new camera, still need to play with the settings). I've also got Blitzwing and Galbatron (who I've not built yet) from the same series. I've also got under-sized Buzzsaw/Laserbeak and Steeljaw, they're a bit smaller than G1. They're poor quality though, I've only made Buzzbeak, he's very loose, and falls apart just sitting stationary, even in cassette mode!
Never seen the gold ones for sale, I picked up the crystal clear, clear orange, clear blue ones for a few $ on ebay keep an eye out and you will find them.
Here is a pic from my collection shelf of cassettes. The ko's I have are Ratbat, blue Frenzy, white Frenzy and Lazerbeak, clear orange Frenzy and Lazerbeak, clear blue Frenzy and clear black Lazerbeak. The rest are all original and E-hobby. Never saw the gold cassettes either. I've also seen black clear Frenzy I believe with no decals. I'll have to get a better closer pic once I get my collection pics up. This was from my friend's phone.
Is that place anything close to legit, as in--won't rip you off? I stumbled across that site a while back and have been considering buying the G1 Wheeljack KO they have. Just curious.
Forgot about an Italian reverse coloured Frenzy I've got somewhere! I'll see if I can find him, although I don't have a clue which box he's in. I haven't personally used them, but several others here have. There is a thread on that very topic, it's been revived recently and is on the first few pages in this forum, or do a search.
