Same goes the other way around.. just buy the robots that dont transform for more accuracy..
That said, it does mean we wont be collecting transformers anymore but rather statues or model cars...
I prefer transforming models.

 

And it's 120$ on ShowZ (118 if you have a pre-order) :/ Maybe they should consider "no box" option to make up for price hikes  

 

Yeah I'm not gonna be buying first wave figures until I see reviews. Price is too expensive to risk a piece of crap like OS Shockwave.

 

BMB has screwed the pooch too many times to preorder a SS KO at $120.

 

For a lot of movie people, they are cars that turn into robots.

Other way around, for me.

 

Yeah I focus more on robot mode first then vehicle mode. Of course I still do care if the alt mode looks like shit or not tho.

 

But what if what you like is scale? What then unrelated Confucius?
Edit:
Cheapest price I have seen so far. No reviews?
US $88.55 30%OFF | Transformation Royal predators OV01 OV-01 KO Movie Series Improved Action Figure Robot Toys Model
88.55US $ 30% OFF|Transformation Royal predators OV01 OV 01 KO Movie Series Improved Action Figure Robot Toys Model|Action Figures| - AliExpress

 

let me be a fool then.. Robots IN DISGUISE sounds better than "Robots that can look like something that looks like a vehicle but is weirdly out of scale"

 

I don't care about scale, I only collect what I like. As long as figure looks good in both mode I buy it

 

I can't believe I just saw this knowing myself and how much I love the Bayverse Sentinel Prime character and have been wanting a properly upscaled version of him... but wow it looks stunning. I wish the chest, armpits, and back cleaned up a little more nicely but I don't think I have much right to complain since this is just an OS and not a full-on remold like BA Optimus Prime. Besides, it's not like we have much competition right now in the way of MPM-scale Sentinel Prime figures.

Finally a gaping void in my collection has been filled. Now if someone could just fucking get on that OS MPM Starscream...

 

Preorder is fully paid, Thank god for Showz points lol

 

Price Tag of 120$ is confirmed from ShowZStore (Frank)

Also he told me it is indeed BMB behind this. He comes the same Factory like all other BMB Products.

Really wanted the Figure..but not for
120$. Since I always buy 2 Units
240$ for then. Sorry but.. No
80-90$ would have been okay.

I have also 257$ (25792) ShowZ Points left. But I really do not want to fire them away for that. I am saving them either
for Flame Toys Starscream (Kuro Kara)
or Cang Toys Dinobots next Year.

BMB is very Greedy in my Opinion.
90-100$ would have also been enough.
So sad, really wanted that one.

 

Ever since WJ was taken down BMB’s greed skyrocketed. Doesn’t help a lot of collectors settle for it instead of having a spine and just not overpaying.

 

One more thing that skyrocketed since the pandemic are the prices for international shipping and that is a big chunk plastic. We'll probably never see those 30+cm KOs cost 80-100$.

 

On this page I posted a link for less than $100 with shipping. most expensive option being right under $100 at $97.51

 

personally i don't really trust aliexpress

 

K. Y? Never had any bad experiences there. Same stuff as everywhere else. Replacement parts and all of that. Could have swore showz started on Facebook and AliExpress. Still has a store there too. To each their own.

 

It’s basically Chinese eBay. Always a risk of getting scammed so people are cautious to use it.

 

I feel like that falls down to ignorance of the consumer. Much like eBay. I guess my never getting scammed comes down to research. It's not hard. There are list of trusted sellers maintained everywhere here Reddit Facebook and anywhere else that people talk about the things that are sold. If anyone coughs out money without doing research whatever happens is their own fault.

 

i brought a wei jiang blackout ended up getting the ss one so it soured my experience but i was new to buy things online so its partly my fault for not looking into it more
