For better or worse it looks like these dinos are getting closer to release:

Well, just hope these don't go for e-hobby/botcon high prices even though they are 3rd party KOs, the way those headmasters went....

I'd been checking every few days for weeks now, and had given up hope. The 'vibe' in the thread was getting pretty desperate and bleak, that they might have been raided. Silly how rumours start up isn't it.

I don't see a problem with these, on 2 conditions. They release box art different to the originals. They've already done it with the HM heads and Reflector so there's no reason why they couldn't do the same here.

The other thing is altering the date stamp to say KO toys.

That way everyone is covered.

I'll definitely pick up a set is Grandslam and Raindance are a part of it.

I notice people here slagging off about the KO companies, but let's be honest- would the market be there if HasTak were reissuing them to being with? Look at Devastator- should have been a dead set no-brainer as reissues go. Yet it's taken almost a decade of reissues coming out and countless knock-offs before Takara woke up (Hasbro STILL seems asleep at the wheel on this one) and actually decided to reissue it.

The reality is that if it wasn't for the KO companies, we'd STILL be waiting for Devastator and things like the HM heads and combiner cassettes would never see the light of day as reissues.

Oh dear, the KO Dino cassettes of Zaur and Dial are up for pre-order...

...beware.

I'm not one vehemently oppose KO's (I actually own some), but I disagree with your comment. Just because I leave my front door open doesn't mean people have the right to enter my home and steal my property.

So.... you say you leave your door open, and you're a transformer collector.
