    I got my order from them. Took almost 3 weeks to arrive. KO dinobots were packed well, but couple of the boxes were still dinged up. All of them had the blister pulled away from the cardboard. Not sure if this was due to factory or what as the tape was still on the sides. Also, Slag has no peg holes in his fists. If anyone else has these, let me know if this is a common error? All in all, ok to deal with, but now that free shipping is over with, don't know if I'll go back to them very much.

    Well, Succsess!!!!! my reflector arrived just moments ago, with a BONUS sticker sheet of decepticon logos, like th eone thatcame with book collection Megatron.

    Guys. i hate to say it, but this KO reflector is DAmn near impossible to tell appart. even the stickers are better quality than the first few ko's. the red paint problem has been fixed, and this is the ONLY tell i can find right now, is that the red needed to be dipped a few time, and some of the sharp details have been dulled down from my takara version comparison.

    Great news! Glad to hear it's legit!

    If Hasbro would get off their bums and make G1's just like they used to, I wouldn't buy these, I'd buy Hasbro's originals! But since they don't, or, they make these re-issues that while inside look the same or similar, the box is completely different, and it doesn't appeal to me.

    I want the ones from the 80's that look just like my childhood, those are the ones that bring back memories.

    I want these:

    Not these:

    Plus I already had all these anyway when I was a kid, so I've already paid Hasbro for them! Wish I still had them all! At least now I can get some of them back and bring back that nostalgia feeling again...

    I ordered a Reflector about two weeks ago and would like to know who delivered your packages (like usps, ups, fedex or some other one) so I know what to look out for.

    Well I finally got my Reflector in the mail a little bit ago. It's great but the only problem I have with the figure was that the Flashcube was in half when I tried to take it out, but a little glue will fix it no problem so its not a big deal. Other than that I am so happy to finally have him.

    Agreed. Reissues in exact replica packaging = awesome.

    I recieved my KO reflector from them yesterday. It did take a while to get but it arrived well packed. The shipping box was all beat to hell and looked like it had been run over so I was expecting to find it broken. I opened up the shipping box and the reflector box was in near perfect shape. The sell did a great job at packing the item. It came with sticker and instructions, it is a perfect replica of the original. glad I ordered it.

    I received my KO sideways today. I have to say the quality is awful. Loosest KO i have ever seen. I've seen the classics megatron KO made by the same company, and it was a decent toy. This sideways is just poorly made all around. Can barely transform, and forget about even trying to stand him up. his alt mode is passable, but robot mode is a joke. Glad to hear the other ko's from this site aren't bad. Hopefully mine is the exception.

    I recently bought some MISB/MOSC KO's off of yahobby.com, including the following: Devastator Giftset, Reflector, Grimlock, Snarl, Powerglide, Cosmos, Brawn, Seaspray, & the Insecticons x3.

    Excellent transaction - shipped promptly, tracking number provided, items were all securely packaged and in great shape. Definitely recommended!

    I've decided to keep it MISB - but from what I can see from the packaging windows, the quality looks excellent, comparable to the KO Cassettes from a few years back. I'm guessing the limbs for all the figures are loose - a common problem with these KO's. Otherwise, a beautiful display piece.
