    There's a whole bunch of beast wars Kos at Dollarama in Canada.
    Megatron, air razor, the wolf, lion, giraffe, horse, stegasaurus, triceratops.
    Pic on my phone is too big to attach.

    The picture shouldn't be too big to attach. You simply choose one picture at a time and select "upload a file" from the blue button below the text entry box.

    I picked up the Yes Model Data Clerk KO of Cupola this week. Not keeping him. I didn't realize how huge he is. He has nowhere to go in my collection. He's a decent enough figure, but I don't need a Chromedome that's as tall as Optimus.

    Just got a KO Masterpiece Prowl today, and it was one of the factory reject figures. Staining on one shoulder that won't clean - gonna try something more heavy duty, a bit of plastic hanging out over the eye that I already cleaned off, and some stray paint that needs to be taken care of.

    Not my favorite purchase, especially if that shoulder won't clean up.

    KO Clear "Family Mart" ROTF Prime. Which I eventually received after they figured out their warehouse problem. Brief pictorial to come.
    Sadly, I asked them to take special care so the box would arrive undamaged. "Luckya" arrived in perfect condition, Prime, not so much (thankfully, only the package appears damaged).

    When they announced him/first showed him off I was really hoping they had down scaled him to voyager/carbot size. I don't want a Prime sized Chromedome either.

    How much time has elapsed since you asked the seller the question?

    That seller, showZ, also has this listing on aliexpress:
    AliExpress Mobile - Global Online Shopping for Apparel, Phones, Computers, Electronics, Fashion and more

    The link you posted has "...V2 version2..." in its URL. I suspect that v2 has the streetwise and first aid bots, whereas the v1 had the duplicates of rook and the blades helicopters.

    I think the sequence of variations for the OS KO defensors was:
    1) OSing G1 bots
    2) OS'd tfc defensor/menasor hybrid
    3) OS'd CW KO with green rook, red first aid, solid chest plate & yellow head that was finicky in combining
    4) OS'd CW KO plastic defensor with duplicates of rook (navy blue, white) and blades (red, white)
    5) same as #4 only with diecast
    6) OS'd CW KO diecast defensor with no duplicates, but including diecast first aid and diecast streetwise.

    I think the "version 2" link you included was to what I described as #6 and the link I included, for that same seller, was #5. I agree, the combined pic on the link you shared was misleading, but the individual bots on the left seem to point to all the bots included in that set being distinct. Plus, when you scroll through the pics, they show 5 differing bots w/ no duplicate molds with different colors.

    That seller showZ also has a site separate from aliexpress, that they recently (a couple months ago?) opened up. I've had some email correspondence from them over the last year, so I could dig up the couple of email addresses I have; but my experience has been that they've responded to messages I've sent over eBay & post deals coordinated w/ rubadubspawn within a couple of days (don't think I've ever tried them through AE though).

    Cancel your order and buy them from SirToys? You can specify the limbs with that site.

    I purchased this listing. You get the bots pictured, not the ones shown in the combined form. V2 gets you the 4 different limbs.

    Who are some good sellers and good places to buy knock-off G1 Transformers? Also looking at good prices as well. Probably would want to buy direct.

    I've been wanting to get the Dinobots. Years ago I bought some on ioffer, but those sellers aren't there. And I've been noticing a lot of what appears to be scammers selling G1 KO's out of China.

    So don't want to get scammed and not get anything, but also want to pay a decent price for them as well. Especially since they have low quality standards and you can get real duds. Also, want sellers who packaged their items real well. i.e. no crushed boxes. Years ago the China stuff I had gotten were all crushed in half.
