    Ummm...so I PM'd Nemesis to this store: ACETOY, ACETOY,Pro toy trading
    to get the Blue Konvoy seeing as how they have it in stock, but when I checked their Conditions of Use page:

    Conditions of Use : ACETOY, ACETOY,Pro toy trading

    I see this (I bolded some stuffz):

    Wait....THIS IS KOTOYS??!?!?!? The conditions of use are exactly the same as https://kotoys.com/store/index.php?main_page=conditions&zenid=4ac1e3e7bdbffa94d6088789e862b669

    Did I miss something?

    Either that, or a KO of KOtoys.

    Seriously though, the layout is basically the same, and a bunch of their images are using KOtoys watermarks. I suppose the only way to know for sure would be to compare shipping addys & see if we get chewed out the same way when we inquire about a tracking number.

    Somehow....I'm more inclined to think otherwise. But that's just me thinking this seems awfully suspicious....

    Oh and then there's this:

    I think there's a good chance of that.......

    KOLD as a brand is a KO toys brand so if others get them they got them from KO toys more than likely so any still around are not likely to be easily replaced. so yes - I would say that is rare.

    The more common ones would be the non-KOLD ones like the red one with the red head, the Black "Nemesis" one, The Ultra Magnus one and the one that looks like Henkei Convoy but is in a box like hasbro's MP Prime.

    There rarer ones therefore would be ; The crystal smoke, the crystal clear, the chrome gold, the chrome silver, crystal red & blue tinted (e-hobby like one), The 3 variations of the purple "Shattered/non-shattered" and the faux Wonderfest one.

    It's definitely not KOToys, becuase it's Dealite20's site, and it's run and ships outta' California... not China.

    ... unless it's literally the biggest ruse that this board has likely EVER seen.

    I wouldn't bet on it though... there's literally just too much that would HAVE to add up that doesn't after having done business with both, and it has NOTHING to do with interactions with Mike.

    That price is crazy! I've never seen a KO go for that much. Kinda surprised actually that with all the Prime/Convoy repaints we got from that mold, we never got this color though.

    Pretty sure daelites got nothing to do with that shit. Ive only spoken to him like once, but from what I gather, he wouldnt deal with or be any kind of affiliated with kotoys after their whole debacle

    edit: all the images are formerly from kotoys.com.. the disclaimers word for word the same as the old one. I really dont know what to think at all, this was really an out of left field article to me.

    Retracting earlier comments, because TDS just informed me that he was referring to some random site ACETOY, ACETOY,Pro toy trading, rather than acestoystore which is ran by Daelite.

    I never even heard of the first site, so fuck it. Who cares. Glad to not have to wonder about one of my favorite people here though. Seriously.

    Hmm what about the "Seeker" box art ?

    Oh and I found this what the hell is it (It's not an Impossible toys one or a takara kit) : Transformers Legend Heros Quintesson Judge Figure

    It looks like the Doctor Wu one but it's not listed as such.

    WHAT? Wait 45 DAYS for your stuff to arrive? Is the guy serious? That's exactly the number of days a Paypal order expires so you cannot reclaim it. Sillybuggers. That's Mike's inane way to try and fool some of the more naive buyers.

    I say to people who buy from this git - don't you care about this badly-written disclaimer (who writes 'u' instead of 'you' in a disclaimer? Is he some gangsta wannabe?) - if your stuff doesn't arrive 2 weeks after you paid, which is the standard time for air mail packages from China, email him and if he doesn't reply in 3 weeks, open a dispute on Paypal.

    I think it takes him 30 days just to get around to packing it.

    If you pay with a credit card you are still partly covered I'd say. I think you might be OK cutting them a little slack it would take 3 people a long time to pack up several hundred orders after all.

    I won't go on here spouting about service until I order something, but is there any other companies who deal in KO type transformers? And if so someone pm me so we don't break any forum rules.
