    Man, I'll buy BW Megs and then IT will pop up with better quality and a way better price.

    Nahh...as much as i want it, its hard for me to justify the price when i spent 198 on Fans hobby mb-08 double evil and 211 on Fanstoys ft-10 phoenix! Mp-41 felt like robbery at this point with mp-43 and mp-44 it feels like i got 1 person holding me at gunpoint and another is bludgeoning me over the head. I just cant justify feeling like im getting ripped off.

    Meh, for my $175 price point, I can’t complain. Like I said, I’ll be getting this KO once it goes on sale and still keep my two copies of MP41

    A cheaper priced, higher quality version of the official. Sounds like a winner.
    I hope IT also offers a KO for MP Primal.

    See i spent 225 on mp-41. But i have no plans on getting anymore official takara mp. Maybe mp blackarachnia but then again she's such a small piece for 80+ usd! I fell outta love with Takara a long time ago.

    For Beast Wars, that’s not bad. Just wait for Amazon and see what price it’ll be. To each their own. I’m getting two of MP45 and 3 of MP44.

    In the grand scheme of things, do what makes you happy and hopefully this KO will fulfill that. Cheers!!

    I have IT-01, and he is a great figure for the price. If they port that kind of quality and attention to this not-Dinobot, then they have my attention.

    I'll believe it when I see it but I do hope this is true. I would like Masterpiece Dinobot but there's no way in hell I'm paying that price TakaraTomy wants for him. Then hopefully they KO Beast Wars Megatron too. Another beautiful figure that costs far too much.
    No, it's Stampy.
    Absolute nonsense. For some of us, we just don't think it's worth that price. Then consider that US$190 is a lot of money no matter how you slice it, regardless of this being about whether or not you can afford it. Even if I bought Dinobot from the cheapest place I could find, it still would have cost me at least NZ$400 shipped (and shipping from Japan to New Zealand is quite cheap, especially compared to shipping from Japan to America), which is just absurd. No way in hell I'm paying that price.

    Call it theft, call it whatever you want - some of us just don't care, and I'm certainly not going to lose sleep at night over a giant multi-national not getting my hard-earned money for an overpriced release with QC issues (MP-36 is the same - as I've said before, if I had to buy him all over again, I'd buy the IT KO instead because the official release is trash in the QC department and isn't worth the price, even though I like him overall).
    But this isn't a flame war nor a crusade. Just people having a difference of opinion. If it were to escalate to that, then you might have a point, but it hasn't, and even the full-on KO discussion threads, though heated, haven't typically been that bad (albeit filled with some ignorance on both sides of the argument).
    And yet you want us to believe it's worth the price when a KO company can put out a product with better quality control? That's just being dishonest.
    He's pretty much identical except with better paint, stronger joints and more accessories. I think they added some die-cast metal too. Unless you dislike KOs, I see no reason to buy the easily inferior MP-36 over IT-01.

    I already own original MP36. No regrets and it’s been good so far. Will await Dinobot KO patiently

    Just saw another pic, so it's pretty much confirmed that there are 2 companies making dinobot ko.

    From the pic below:
    IT announced IT-02 dinobot, and someone asked in the reply section if the rumored KO version is this one, and IT person replied "no".

    This post gets a thumbs down from me.
    I COULD afford Dinobot. But do I want to pay that much for him? Hell No! I used to be in the no KO camp but with the QC that these have for the price you pay, it's a no brainier for me. I bought MPM Prime from TRU, thing was a complete mess. Sold it and bought the superior Legendary Toys LT-02 with an alt mode that actually tabs together, better paint and had some money to spare. I recently received ITs MP Megatron. It's a nice figure and I hear it's better than the original and it only cost me 70 bucks. I'm basically at the point that I don't know if I will buy official MPs unless they are fantastic in the QC department. Because both the KOs I just bought were better and a 3rd/half the price.
