    Does anybody know which eBay seller might be able to get the new KO G1 Wheeljack?
    I know they aren't able to sell them on eBay anymore, but one of them probably has access to the KO's that where all just released.

    Thanks a bunch to anyone who can help me out :)

    Picked up this deluxe-sized KO of movie Legends Barricade from Poundworld:

    I'm considering cleaning off his paint, swapping the face out and painting and logoing him up as Prowl.

    nice one! you've found a rare (and fragile) four star that predates hardhat!! it also came individually carded + the same head was re-used on one version of four star's bryger dx w/ baxinger motorcycle arms.

    the box doesn't say "four star" on it anywhere but the graphics and layout of the stuff inside is very smilar to mr. hardhat.

    lmk, if you ever find the four star bryger fake, i'm still looking for it!

    Jason Jup is here, this thread is now complete :D 
    Yup, won't be surprised if its from the same designer/factory that made mr hardhat. The names of the members of racetron beats autobot menasor or mr hardhat crews handsdown. Cadlibot, BMbot, Fiabot, Porschbot, Chrysbot, & Pontibot. Originality at its best :lol 
    KO Bryger? I actually passed on one, but wasn't sure if its four star's

    Just got this weird TF-like ko at Dollar General for $6. It was one of two there, and there's a third one pictured on the back of the box that wasn't there. It is a bit lacking in articulation, but it's not all that bad. I plan on kitbashing this into RID Megatron, although with only one alt-mode. He has two guns and a sword Scourge would be proud of. The red came out a little pink in the pictures though. The other one there was mostly blue, and had what appeared to be sharks on his shoulders, where this one has eagles, and the one on the back of the box has a pink chrome t-rex head on one of his shoulders, while the other one is pretty much plain. Here are some pictures of the one I got, including a bot-mode comparison with RID Mega-Octane.

    Since I have the four-star experts on the field right now, I have these two four-star cars, I think you just identified the blue one for me, but what aobut the white one on the left?

    Really the only downside to him, other than the lack of any leg articulation, is that the two things that are supposed to stick up behind his head on his back don't stay up very good, and thus pretty much any movement at all makes them fall backwards. I'm gong to attempt to make them click into his back somewhere, so that they'll stay put in bot-mode. Other than that he's actually pretty good for a $6 toy. He holds together really good in alt-mode, and is decently sized. I have found the name Sunco Ltd. and Made In China stamped on him. I might sand that off as it sticks out pretty well in alt-mode.
