More KO Devastator Goodness (?)

[5FDP]

Just a heads-up for G1 collectors - there are now carded versions of each G1 Constructicon.

The obvious tell that they are KO's, is the missing text on the right-hand bottom corner for the 'assortment' number e.g. ASST.

I've included pics below for comparison so you can all avoid making a costly mistake -

Well that's depressing news. Merry Christmas, everybody!

My Grandmother gave me Scrapper for Christmas something like 24 years ago. I hope she didn't buy me a KO

The KO also appears to have the rear wheels.

A useful way to identify them. If anyone's Scrapper has rear wheels, it's a knockoff!

[loophole]

well that sux, i wish they would ko other toys for a change and leave the TF's alone

[Linthart]

:S apart from the very new looking card, they're getting pretty ahrd to identify. problem is not all sellers have a light box to take photos with so the lolly colours may be hard to tell. do we see any super obvious tell tale signs? example KO pime had the text in different position and extra cardboard border on the window

Here's a couple of the new carded Construction KO's - Scrapper and Mixmaster. The seller however claims they are "legit".

He's even gone to the trouble of placing a price sticker on Scrapper.

Where he has slipped up majorly is in the bogus 'shill' bidding that's going on. Both items have been bid on exactly the same amount of times (8) and only seconds apart with what appears to be the same amounts. Pleeease

i thought the KO's didnt have the assortment number in the bottom lefthand corner, those do. or am i mistaken about the KO's?

You're correct, the KO's do not have the assortment number on them. Maybe my eyesight is failing me (old age perhaps), but I even blew those pictures up and thought what looked like text, was just a reflection of where the bubble meets the card
