I'm fixin' to get myself a Sunstreaker KO since vintage is too expensive and often has lots of wear, so I figured I'd spring for a "reissue." They look pretty nice.

I bgt it last month, joints are tight and transformation is flawless. Stickers sucks though but nothing that cant be remedied by reprolabels. I say go for it.

Bgt it off ioffer...just look for the cheapest priced ont. its all the same.

I have a vintage in poor shape, and a KO MIB. I got the KO for the same reason you're considering it. The only difference I can tell in the two is that the KO's shoulders have some weird catch in them so that they "click" when you transform them. The original doesn't do this, and I don't think this one should either. It doesn't feel so much like an added design feature as bad plastic tolerances so something is catching. Besides that though, the toy is flawless.

Awesome. Yeah, ioffer has them for a pretty good price. I just wanted to make sure the quality was good.
