Prowl was indeed reissued, 4 years ago at least. Meaning if they released a KO now ( TF brand more popular than ever and Prowl is a main character in the current TV series), the retail sales will make it worth while. |

I can find multiple official Prowls in my price range within ten minutes. Not that I need to, as I got my TRU reissue Prowl for less than $10 a few years back.
And just where are they selling these? You aren't seriously thinking they'll be in Big Lots, are you? These are mostly sold online. | |

Asia is what I was talking about. Or asian markets in NA/Euro cities that happen to have them.
These KO's at first seemed to try and lure collectors by giving you stuff that Has/Tak wasn't able too. Now they are doing whatever they can to fill demand.
And what's a "Big lots" anyway?

Big!Lots is a store in the US that basically buys overstock stuff or old stuff and they sell KO's frequently
and atleast with this you know its a KO and not the real thing with the no "Police" Sticker on the door | |

I think they are also found at swap meets and flea markets just in case the cops want to shut them down.

The KOs are going to run you upwards of $60 or $70. It doesn't make sense to buy one of those when you can get a better quality product for less money. | Doesn't matter I have the toys r us version I like the G1 version better and that $20.00 version will go up in price real quick when it has a few hours left! I have tried to get one and every time when I place my maximum bid I get out bid every time and where talking over a hundred dollars and I will get the prowl from a friend of mine that has a whole bunch of KO for sale and he will sell me one for $40.00 so in my opinion that is a good deal dude!!! | |

Okay,put your money where your mouth is! Show me where I can find a MISB C9-C10 original Prowl with all the accessories & paper work & with no play wear/shelf wear/damage/worn decals whatsoever, for less than $50-$70. I'd really love to see you pull that one off! | |

#30 | | Autobot Join Date: Apr 2008 Posts: 93 | Ok listen guys so we all don't start fighting on this thread some of us like the KO's they are of real good quality( some of them) in my opinion. I have some of the originals and I have looked at most of the KO's and they are real good so of course I like them and I like the official original stuff to but they are to expensive and some of us don't want to pay $300.00 for a toy figure when I can buy a Xbox 360 for that price!!! And when ever a KO comes up on ebay people are bidding for one cause they want it cause it is the closest thing to an original as you are going to get and the best part about them they have American language on them not crappy Japanese on it which I can't read!!!!! | |
