are you asking a question?
if you want to buy it, buy it
the mods are going to tell you off though, theres some rule about talking about KOs in a positive light.
The look better then some KO constructicons ive seen
I got 5 of my real ones for free and paid $25 for a non broken Hook, so i dont know if it would cost $300 for a real one

Unless you want a boxed set/giftset I doubt you would have to pay anywhere near $300
Take a look at ebay, most complete sets can be had for max $200, I got mine for around $90 last year.

Resist the KO. It's a stupid price anyway, and you'd be silly to pay that much. Look around, you should find them for like $10-20.
Just wait. I have a feeling we'll get an encore/hasbro version later this year.
I've got 20 years on you and still havn't gotten myself a devastator either. I know the pain, but I'd never buy a KO. They are what have been holding back an offical release.

there were alot of real constructicons atthe last nexus fair in perth
not 100% mint condition but pretty good, some even had accessories
about $20 each

there is a massive premium in that item your interested in due to the foam and box replication. if you don't care about boxes/foams. just go for loose original ones.

I very recently completed mine after 2 years collecting.

yeah seriously wait dude for a re-issue. there is a very strong sense in the community that its coming.
either way, it is possible to pull off a loose Dev for under $150.
unless you want to leave the KO in the packaging for the giftset look, IMO, its not really worth it. patience is a virtue.
If you buy a vintage set, and an encore is released, you can always sell the vintage for what you paid if not more (if you get lucky) and cover the costs of the encore.
plus if you stay tuned on the boards if it is released, hook in on the group orders and get them at wholesale pricing. there are some serious savings to be had.
Oh and never forget the value of having friends in the community, if you're looking for something and would like to try and avoid ebay pricing, place a wanted ad in the toy scout section. You're sure to find a much fairer deal that may even score you a local pickup to save on postage.

The KO isnt worth it, believe me, Ive had KOs before as placers. it does not compare to the real deal at all. If your after just loose ones, there's plenty on sale from other members here Im sure can help. Loose originals now come cheap , not the $300 you have in mind.

Seller at the last Sandown fair sold a few of this exact same piece of crap KO for $15 each.
