AE is legit AF. Expect zero communication though, so be sure that what you want has been thoroughly researched.

Yeah, you have to pay it all up front, sans shipping.

 

Ι kinda have noticed that communication is not the strong point of Japanese Estores.

 

HLJ is the exception, they are great. But their PO price is not as good as AE, specially on official MP's.

 

Per @Bots and Bits on FB.
KO MP10 Reissue coming soon. Takara colors.

 

Out of curiosity, anyone know where to get KO MP-10 trailers? Just the trailer, no Prime. I want an extra one for my GT Op Ex.

 

Pre order price out on TF Direct. A whopping $150 US

I really wanted a more color accurate MP10 to replace my YOTH version. Price seems a bit steep. Guess we'll have to wait for reviews. I was out of the game when v2 of the KO came out so if it's good quality like what that one was suggested to be then I might just have to do it

 

I'm sure it'll be cheaper once it hits Ebay.

 

I sure hope so... I am willing to pay something in the $125 range.

 

Looks like every post MP-10 MP up to MP-30 has had a KO except for MP-22 Ultra Magnus.

 

And still no release with the Wei Jiang upgrades.


I guess I just need to forget about it ever happening.

 

Doubtfull well ever see a Magnus KO. Though I am really pissed at the consious mistakes TT did on this design, its intricate enough and requires attention to detail to pull off. If they are going to KO it, it will be a QC mess I believe. That or it must be made by a reputable KOer such as Robot Heroes, KBB etc...

 

Do you mean the BB7 hands/weapon/light up matrix-head for the oversized Wei Jiang MPP10?

 

No, the extended legs with the extra vent on them to make him better proportioned in bot mode.

 

Could be wrong, but I think he just means the improved proportions MPP10 (and KBB's) MP10-v have.

 

Yup.

 

this "japanese colors" mp10 ko does not make any sense. Why bothering on a 150$ ko when one could buy an original for the same price through BBTS?

 

Don't think too hard about it or you'll ruin the appeal of wanting the ko over the original.

Although it should be noted BBTS has the third production run at $220. Seventy bucks difference isn't exactly the same price.

 

Just got my MP10U w/ Trailer from rubadubspawn for $134. It's my first MP KO and my first Transformers figure in 4 years. I don't have any figures anymore to compare it to, but it feels nice and hefty. The trailer looks nice and clean in white. However, it didn't come in a KO Takara box like the previous ones, an ear and ankle is slighty loose, the rifle can't be properly stored without the storage un-tabbing, and there was a small deep scratch on the right thigh. Not sure if the plastic might yellow quickly, but only time will tell.

Overall I like it. I can never get tired of an unarmored Ultra Magnus because it always just looks so clean in white and silver with that nice hit of blue. QC issues are always a crapshoot when it comes to KOs so I'm not that bummed about it, but I am disappointed it didn't come with a KO Takara box.

 

Nice pick up and thanks for sharing. I'm after the Prime colours so good to know the quality in joints is pretty decent. That is, if the MP10U and MP10 are coming from the same manufacturer.

Curious, what box did the MP10U come in? There probably isn't a Takara box because there hasn't been an original MP10U box to KO

 

Actually one of the earlier runs of MP10U had a KO box. Anyway, the figure was in a plastic shell within a brown cardboard box and the trailer was wrapped in plastic in a separate brown cardboard box. Both were shipped in a wrapped styrofoam box and it was heavily duct taped shut. Really ugly packaging method.
