    Just wondering. I've been eyeing some of the WSTF KO Combiners and are they worth it? Do they hold together well, if anyone has a set? It seems like they come w/ almost all of the accessories needed too.

    I don't have the smallest ones, but I do have the size class right under the original size. Devastator is very impressive. Cheap plastic, arms don't stay on well ... but those issues were in the original too.


    If you're curious about the KO WST Jafcon Prime and KO WST Crystal Blue Prime, those are terrific.

    I have a four of them. I must admit there very cool for being a KO. Really good quality. Not sure how well they do combined. Here's four pictured with an original G1 Deadend.

    I've bought the KO black prime w/ trailer, G1 trailer, G2 trailer, translucent Skywarp & Thundercracker and all of them are fantastic. Kinda like the new WST Snarl, you really can't tell these aren't official Takara issues.

    The guy in China that makes them (along with a whole mess of Prime trailers) sells them for about $10 each, plus $10 shipping. Some other users bought some and try to re-sell them for $24ish plus shipping, don't get caught overpaying like that. Though some do offer custom boxes with them which are pretty nifty.

    Thank you, Orodruin :)  You seem to always have some money saving tips :D 

    US$20 doesn't sound bad at all. *bites nails*
