KO Aerialbots at Wal Mart

Thx for the Heads up.

If you look at the photo in the first post, you can see that it costs $9.74. I saw these and decided to pass and get a Venom action figure and the Dice game from Dead Man's Chest instead.

I bought one of the Easter baskets from Wal-Mart last year and threw the toy away. It was the shitty as hell, even by KO standards.

These ko's sets usually (or used to) sell for $5 a set alone, and should'nt be sold for any more IMO.
Occasionally you'll find a ko set that's in good shape, but most of the time each has their own unique flaws like excessive flash, poor assembly with screws with limbs that fall off, offset decals, cloudyness from the plastic not mixing well in the mold machine etc..

Once combined they can be a real pain in the ass. Mess with one piece and another falls off , the fix that piece and another one falls off somewhere else.
Tempted to just superglue mine and just leave them alone for display purposes only

All my ko Superions want to fall foward from Silverbolts legs being too loose

I own 7 KO's and never had a problem with mine.. They are just for display though , i never play with them, or the orginals for that matter.. I guess if i played with them i would notice the little things..

I have a set of KO Aerialbots. Not this pack, and I have no assessories for Superion, but the five robots. Real fun! I remember I bought them (used, and the seller kept Superio's feet, head, weapons etc) and sat on the train. It was cca three hours to come home, and I spent most of it with carving the plastic, getting rid of the old stickers, the molding problems, etc. When I arrived home, I oiled the stuck joints and lacked the loose joints, carved the tail parts of the limb-robots so that they could transform easier. Painted them, ordered rubsigns from Reprolabels. Simply put: I had fun with them. Great fun. And it was really, really heart-touching for me to turn a few pieces of cheap plastic into Transformers.

I agree, it is kinda fun to take a crappy KO and make it somewhat decent. I did that with a KO Devastator and he's nearly as good as an original now (after LOTS of carving, gluing, etc.).

Yes, and you're free to change them... I mean, I would never (hm?) start carving the tail parts of a real G1.

Really? I mean really??
