    Is there already a KO version out there? Some of the prices on Ebay seem too good to be true.

    If you did it as "Yessssssssssss". Would have been more hilarious given your avatar :lolol 


    Sometimes those ebay "vendors" mix up intentionally the item price and shipping.

    Do a double check. They'll charge you an Encore Fortmax for US$40.00 and the shipping will be like US$200.00

    can't speak as to what it is regarding ko or reject, but I got mine for 85 shipped from zhengzhengrishang888 on eBay . Quality seems fine to me and with a coupon and 10% ebucks I basically got it for 65 dollars. I was skeptical since I usually go with the more known sellers, but it was a reasonable gamble for the price and feedback with type of items being sold at least at the time of purchase about one month ago.

    I have proof but I won't post here to spoil the thread. Welcome to pm. And I expect a public apology.

    cross posting on the MP-44 thread too
    Longtime collector owning all masterpiece and EVERY variant (yes including dead prime) up until July 2013 and MP-12T
    I realised I was spending a fortune, had zero space left in storage (let alone my flat) and started to checkout of serious collecting (and have around £20k of vintage and rare transformers in storage still)
    Was also the time I bought my first flat in London, since then I have picked up the odd piece here and there, a load of MP KOs, Titans, Fanstoys Soveriegn etc
    Bumblebee 2.0 and Prime v3 got me salivating since announcement but the prices were (and still are) insane
    Then they launch and loads of issues, and suddenly not only is the price insane also you'll be lucky to get ones that can stand transfomation without breaking or paint chipping, other issues...
    Last few. Months had been doing insane overtime at work after fully paying off the hasbro pulse unicron in October I treated myself to both MP-44 and MP-45 for Xmas to make up for the shit exhausting hours - still fearful for problems on transformations

    Anyone just buying these you absolutely should use wotafa’ youtube videos for transformations
    Absolutely perfect, transformers both 1st time, no stress on the plastics, no breakages, no paint chippings.
    Takara should be paying this guy and then including them on their sites.

    doesn’t mean I’m back into collector mode, and I’ll never buy a masterpiece on launch again even if I had all the money in the world. Sometimes waiting and understanding the product from a distance really pays off

    and btw Tfs-express delivery of instock transformers posting from the UK - faultless, very impressed as 1st time really using them.

    Apparently you care more about insulting fellow member than the truth.

    So the standard now is if you refuse to research then the evidence doesn't exist. Got it.

    If you have evidence there is a KO out there and how to identify it, then share that with the forum. Would help people make informed purchases and avoid a scam. Why hide the info?

    I'm not hiding. This is not the thread for ko.
    I will only make an effort to organize the evidence if someone care enough to pm me for it. The person is welcome to share my research elsewhere. The info I share is public and accepted among fans in China.
