How much of your G1 collection is reissues?

Shape and Skullcruncher we should form a gang

Bidoo, just keep your eye out mate and you will find one within your price range. I sold a complete and working original Shockwave for around $80 from memory about five months ago.

Wow, that's actually not a bad price (even by my tight-bum standards)! I got my Shockwave (complete w/ tech specs) nearly 10 years ago in a private sale for the same price.

I paid 200 for my MIB one in 2007

This is the reason I am considering a KO Shockwave. I want something I can play with well, but not have to pay over the top prices just to shoot a laser gun.
I would happily pay loads more for a legit reissue (they can't do it now though) if they were made, but Hastak (mostly Has) are making KOs O the more tempting, for those who can't get a toy in the form of a reissue and not pay ridiculous prices.

I see no problem in purchasing the KO as long as you don't pass it off as legit; I did and it's great. Until there is an official reissue, which there probably never will be, it's an acceptable substitute. To put it in realistic terms, the KO is an near-exact replica of the original toy that was made nearly 30 years ago. Until Hasbro lay claim to the toy design and come out with their own reissue, I say 'get over it people'. That's my 2 cents for what it's worth.

I sort of get what you mean.
I'm not saying: "HEY! Look at my G1 Shockwave!"
I just want something for me to play with and appreciate.

Don't buy KOs,

I don't.. (i own 6 in total, 2 via deceit/stupidity(seller's and buyer's(AKA Me)) 1 was gifted and 3 (2xBB and 1KO mechabot colour variant)just because, but not anymore))

, I say 'get over it people'.

I'm not familiar with KO Shockwave but ,from experience, KO's are poorer quality (good from far, but far from good) If you want a Shockwave to appreciate, you have to go for a real one IMO
If you want one to drive into the ground, then maybe..

I've fondled a KO Shockwave and the quality is sadly quite good, so very close to an exact replica but the angles on the leg molds are off. I did create a photo comparison but now I can't for the life of me find it.

Let's continue further discussions of KO Shockwave in the KO Shockwave thread. Cheers.

Sorry Gok if you were not happy about mentioning you. Hope there's nothing hard felt.
