    One of the fun things about this new KO is that you can have extra combining options - which I guess you can already do with the originals since they had 3 colour schemes - but if someone feeling flush they can buy 3 sets and go for a Machine Robo look and have 3 the same attached to a single Torso. One can also have some fun with unusual logo stickers too like Black, silver or white outline or Black too or just copy the existing ones - I like that one even has the option of making them Shattered Glass Autobots too.. (which would be a rather fun thing to do I'd say !)

    That IDW Optimus is a great size it's the same size as the Bumblebee Movie Voyager Optimus Prime (for example) Looks like this is the IDW Voyager Optimus that Hasbro never made essentially - wow imagine if they shrunk down one of the bigger starscreams too - that would be amazballs.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to get some individual Jinbao Warbotron figures?

    Maybe if someone is parting out a set. I tried to get a replacement for my broken Blast-Off and not a single seller I could find had one.

    Wait... They're making OS KOs out of the Kingdom figures? I thought HasTak were cracking down on those and I pretty much gave up hope. Are there any others that I missed? These would make excellent masterpiece stand-ins

    So far they’ve just done Primal, Terrorsaur, and Airrazor. I’m really hoping for a Scorponok soon.

    There's a Terrorsaur coming that is upsized, except they kept his hands non upsized. Kind of looks like that one scene in Deadpool where Deadpool has the tiny hand

    So I jumped the gun a bit and bought the Beast Alliance Terrorsaur and Airazor from Sirtoys. Both were listed as in stock (Terrorsaur is now want listed). Were those actually preorders or are these things actually in the wild? Didn't see any YouTube videos of them posted yet.

    I used an old Henkei Prime to give a silver waist to my blue KO Classics Prime and turn him into Magna Convoy since the figure is $200+ on eBay.

    Oh kill me now, for sacrificing a henkei... my KOllecting ability winced at the thought... and then I recall doing this:

    20160916_200936.jpg 20160916_200802.jpg 20160916_200513.jpg 20160916_200413.jpg 20160916_200336.jpg 20160916_200254.jpg 20160916_200023.jpg 20160916_195134.jpg

    Molding and parting a grey KOnslaught with an official RID Mega Octane to create a Grimlock looking G1 vehicle combiner. :rolleyes: 

    That's as far as I got, :lol

    I once had to use a classics Hot Rod to fix an issue with a KO SG Hot Rod so I could actually use it with the FP armor kit.

    Can you guys recommend a reliable place to get this Green Landfill besides Sirtoys on Aliexpress(which sellers?) or another place? Does it ever come in packaging?

    There was a video on it where a part broke off when he was combining it....has anyone else had their break on them??


    Thanks!

    I have mine, and good thing I saw Ben's video before playing with mine because YES the same part on mine was also incrediblty stiff too and i would've broken it exactly the same way... but i was extra carefull and was able to move the joint holding it from the bottom so it has less stress and it didnt break... plus the more i played with it the less hard it was so now its all good.... well... its a floppy mess but nothing broke

    My XM-01 Shark Boys landed today, they're about Core class size with Deluxe engineering, and at £29.04 for 3 x Shark Lads, that's about prior Prime Trilogy Legends RRP with a level of sophistication they don't put in Core at a couple of quid or so more! Yeah, they may have a bit of the usual scruffy 3P flashing, and the shark clamshell back doesn't quiiiite meet but still very decent value IMHO.
