More KO Devastator Goodness (?)

[heroic_decepticon]

I'm pretty sad about it too. Now I have to continue looking again. I've emailed the seller to see what he can do. I don't want any KOs in my collection.

I've been really careless this time. Should have checked it out more carefully.

Sorry to hear that HD. I know how you are with your collection and how proud you are of all your original G1 pieces. I thought you would want to know.

The upside of this is that you've found out now rather than later when prices will be higher for a legit one.

Just out of curiosity, does the seller have other KO's for sale?

Gee that is expensive for a KO.

I remember last year, at the Brisbane Exhibition (Show), I bought some dodgy KO's that were not badged as Transformer Devastators.

I got them for $20 so I was not too concerned.

Although I would love to buy a Re-issue Devastator if and when released.

(sorry late reply, been out of the country and still am)

Seller was fine. Said to send him back the item and he would give me a full refund. I think he has other Constructicons on cardbacks for sale at the same time I bought Hook. He says that he's bought this lot of stuff from eBay a couple of months ago himself...

It sounds as though he was duped as well since he's willing to give you a full refund. Good to hear you got your money back.

I wonder if he will relist the item...

Just received a G1 devastator and not 100% sure if its a real G1 or a KO. The colour is spot on with a original I have back when I was a kid, however my stamp has Hasbro Takara and these have only Takara.

Is there any way to tell the difference, before I blast the seller?

You have nothing to worry about. The KO's only have Hasbro stamped on each toy. Below are some comparison pics for you (the ones on the right are the KO's).

Many thanks 5FDP, saved me a lot of stress. I also got a grimlock with takara only stamp so now I'm at peace.
