    They aren't WSTs scaled up. They are scaled down G1 with all the same missles and other parts.

    I want those so bad, but how can they justify 30 dollars for KO's? And the shipping, it does not cost that much to ship these international.

    I still am not a fan of KO's but these are pretty cool, but they are asking way too much for a knock off!

    The (unfortunate) truth. Transformers is hot and everyone wants to capitalize on it any way they can. Now I just need to find my TF toothbrush so I can have fresh breath for my TF bubblebath while sipping out of my TF mug...

    Maybe for you. Personally I don't need seekers in every conceivable size.

    Quoted so people actually SEE this. But you forgot to mention they are also diecast just like the originals as well!

    yes. Clear any seeker but those two is kinda silly, but I dig it! I want them both, even though that won't keep me from owning a real ghost SS.

    $20 plus overseas shipping each for the 6-set, still too much for my blood.

    Interestingly that seller has the same 6 so they must be releasing them in 2 waves.
