    Avoid ebay, the k.o took less than a fortnight. Easy to get caught out.

    It has been KOed but it just showed up like last week. If you go eBay, I'd suggest going for an auction that comes w/ an MP coin, I don't think anyone KOs coins. So I would assume if it comes w/ a coin it would be legit.

    I cant believe the speed of the knock offs, its gotta be someone on the inside leaking the 3d renders and mold schematics. So glad I got wheeljack within a week of release, I bought a k.o prowl thinking it was official from ebay earlier this year..... trouble is I didn't realise till a few months later when It was pointed out on here. I'm gonna get the Hasbro prowl once it hits TRU, and then remove k.o prowl from the shelf.

    Ouch, that's particularly painful. The genuine MP Prowl has a much nicer face (the nose looks as though it's had surgery on the KO by comparison).

    That's how someone noticed, the feminine nose job. :lol 
    It sucks but I can cope with it, its been on my shelf since February and doesn't bug me too much.

    Hopefully TRU uk will get prowl in, I'm not gambling on ebay roulette again. He's sold out at all the reputable places.

    Been thinking about picking one of them up but I'm not in the mood for the happy meal you have to buy to get one.

    I like the look of it, just the bronze (turd) colour needs respraying.

    Brawny and outback are getting closer too, the box has finally been shown. :)

    Thieves yes. But they are fulling a demand out there. There are plenty of "Transformers" collectors who can wait for the KO.

    The spoiler on my MP Rodimus broke off. Any recommendations for how to fix it?

    I cant stand sellers trying to pass them off as legit. I got fucked on eBay with a MP Red Alert the seller swore up and down it was legit and bought from BBTS.

    if your gonna sell KO don't fuckin lie

    My Prowl and Sunstorm are Hasbro TRU (Canada) exclusives.

    Yep. I don't mind a KO if I know it's a KO.
    There is a guy at Trader's World who often tries to pass off KO's as the real deal.
