    Hi all, first time to the thread. Does anyone know if there are any regular size ko potp combiners? Image for reference:

    Also I found half of the NBK Devastator at ROSS. Does anyone know where to find the rest for cheap? Thank you so much in advance.

    That's not NBK, that's the simplified JinJiang version.

    The NBK version is more yellow, and bluish purple, while Jinjiang is more orangey and grape purple.

    From what I can recall, I don't think normal-scale Terrorcons were ever released as KO figures. Sirtoys has a bunch of KO CW stuff under the brand "CBB" but no Terrorcons.

    From what I've heard so far, I think people are mostly just finding these 3 models at Ross. However, you can probably still find the other 3 JJ versions through online sellers pretty cheap. They were generally more simplified than the NBK versions, and a bit cheaper-feeling overall - though maybe more rugged because of it.

    My space combiner arrived today and while i''be only played with the individual figures so far they are massively fun robots, even if every alt mode is a brick.

    I'm looking to get the Wei Jiang MPP10B (the OS MP10 in Black) with the trailer. I found a few of the figures on AliExpress, but I can't find any trailers except on Shopee, and I believe that's a Malaysian only site. Does anyone know where to still find this stuff?

    Got an old KO, of the 20th Anniversary DVD MP Optimus Prime

    Every single part is gold painted before assembly (as far i can tell), i had to loosen some screws because some joints were stuck, and fix the legs assembly. Hips seems to be broken, but holds still. Batteries were starting to leak, I dont see the need to have lights because is painted over... but oh well

    Wont be transformed but makes a good display piece. Same Diecast content as the real figure. The Display base is not included, i had it laying around

    Does anyone know what is going on with Wei Jiang aftermarket prices? Looking on ebay and there has been a pretty steep jump for the Headmasters.

    WJ was shut down by Chinese police a while back (2020, I believe). Prices have steadily climbed on their products as supply has dwindled because the company no longer exists.

    Thanks, yeah, I read all about the crackdown. Just seems like all of a sudden they seriously jumped. Seeing some sellers with the Hardhead and Brainstorm at over $200 apiece, which is crazy.

    Oh, wow...I hadn't seen anything THAT nuts. That's just absurd, but still follows online mentality: "It's discontinued so it must be worth thousands of dollars!"

    Are they US sellers or something? That practice seems more prominent here and I still see those for around $15 if I look on Ali.

    Yep, US sellers. My mistake, they are asking closer to $300. Ridiculous

    Huh... didn't notice that. I wonder if it pops out the same way the Hasbro ones do?

    I confess I never understood the point of the POTP "Matrix" pieces (or whatever they were). At least make them proper heads or something.

    Yeah, that explains it.

    My wife was looking for Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes a day or two after Christmas. We looked online for the hell of it and people were trying to sell them for $50-60 a box. For a $1.99 box of crap that will be available again at the end of the year. Ridiculous.
