    I don't own infobar... if I did, i'd have to have all 3. Too expensive atm. :rolleyes: 

    Yeah, that's why I said ko of infobar with a "?" At the end... wasn't sure how much was simplified, but it sure isn't a flip phone.

    They're good quality for what they are, not shampoo bottle, and not super brittle... I got them to go with the watchformers of the same colors.

    For some odd reason, I like having these more though.

    Smart Phone Gold Bot - TF-Movie - SirToys.com

    And I have yet to get around to play with these, but I got them to a company my official soundwave tablets...

    Smart Phone Deformation Robot - Non-TF - SirToys.com

    If I didn't work so much, I think I would like to review things like these more than higher priced more niche stuff.

    Stuff like this just makes me happier having them, :lol

    No, it's the official character for that product, although it's a parody/homage to him:

    Didn't you read the link in my post?

    There were four Infobar TFs, including the extra "film" version of Optimus Prime.

    Pin removal only really has two outcomes:

    You forgot to mention:

    - "It's coming out! At last! Why is there a crater sized hole where the pin was?"

    The good news is that the pin is out.

    The bad news is that you've destroyed both it and the toy.

    Maybe 10%, I caught all the dual forearms and swapped them with my junker sets.

    These Inferno get remade every once in a while so I snapped them all up :)

    This is why I bought from you instead of eBay.

    I busted mine out, clearly a bit simplified vs the official one, but generally pretty decent quality. Kind of a terrible toy, but that's more owing to the design of the way overpriced original, I was curious to own the design, and the KO version was the right price for what you get!

    And for anyone that loves the crap out of this mold as much as I do, I have to point out that THIS glorious thing that Sirtoys has is slightly oversized, increased-complexity, super high quality version of ol' Inferno. He also happens to combine with two other bots....but that's neither here nor there, this toy is a glory all on his own!!

    The pictures do NOT do him justice at all!

    I know that people have bought from an Amazon seller called BestGrey, but has anyone ever bought KOs from a seller called Best Wei Jiang?

    They have a lot of KOs on Amazon for decent prices.

    I forgot about him. Might as well toss in a Toxitron for good measure then. :)

    Red swindle, right? ;) 

    He's the leg of a battle gaia set... who needs ratchet when silver-bluestreak and sideswipe never made it? :p

    Oh. He's part of the Battle Gaia colored set? Okay wrong example then.
    And I'd like a CW Sideswipe and Bluestreak as much as I want a UW Ratchet.
