Well, a few months back we saw the robot, now here it is in packaging. As expected, they copied the box art...SO BE AWARE IF YOU WANT AN ORIGINAL.

$50.00 for a KO. Not for me. I would like to know how they don't get their asses sued by Hasbro though.

 

P.Prime warned us a few months ago...

Hence, why I said "a few months back we saw the robot, now here it is in packaging."

 

What does that mean?

 

I don't know, but don't miss it up!

 

Hasbro: "What Happen?"
Fans: "Someone set up us the auction."
Ebay to Hasbro: "All your Prime are belong to us. You have to chance to reissue, make your time. BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!"

 

That same guy has been selling a tonne of unused sticker sheets too. I've watched about 5 or so auctions for all 5 dinobots unused sticker sheets.

 

maybe the black means he can do the black Jusco Prime

 

very nice for a ko though

 

It would be nice to have if it wasn't so much money.

 

Well, atleast it is listed as a KO, in that auction atleast. Would be nice to have, but not at that price.

 

holy crap!!! Thats scary. That means that people have to be very careful with MISB's. Sure, ive seen all the knockoff cassettes, but I should have realized that other g1s were on he way. Its pretty easy to do ko's nowadays, considering all the reissues that are out. If you just make a spiffy replica box, you can make an easy misb. of course no one here would do that since we all respect TFs, the TF market, and our fellow TF buyers...right!?!?!?!  

 

At least this guy admits it's not the real thing.... most of the others wont.

***Wonders how hard it would be to get one past AFA***

 

Those sticker sheets are replicas as well, I've seen them in person.

 

That crossed my mind as well.

 

Wouldn't be the first time  

 

With the KO Cyclonus there was the small tell on the flap with the 2 Asian characters. On the cassettes, the tell was they were packaged on the wrong side from thier names. Any tell's yet by looking at the package to know that Prime is a KO?

 

I kind of figured that, but it's nice to know for sure.

Thanks,

 

This seller had one on last week as well:
