God I hope not. The QC on my recent Doccat was already dodgy enough. I can’t imagine those tolerances would fair well with a KO.
Close but no cigar, they're KOs of the TakaraTomy officials. Still, the Laserbeak I got with my KO Soundwave is very good.
I have jaguar and he's actually very good. Maybe early run, idk? I just really want a blue rumble and laserbeak and if I have to have the others them so be it. A set of them on ebay has an asknig price of almost $600. I may pay $80 each but thats well shy of the ask. I know a re-release happened but I missed out.
I'd say wait it out for a reissue. TFSource does have a restock coming for IIRC a bit more than MSRP, while not horribly overpriced, $160, should you wany to try to get one now.
TFSource just got a shipment in of the Frenzy/Rumble, the Laserbeak ones are still floating around at retail, and the anime color ravage came out a few months ago, not sure on current availability, mine's stuck waiting on another transformer that was in same order but has been delayed.
