LOL, you're not wrong Sharky, that Seller is sitting back laughing his nuts off at the American Buyer (Has to be American ) who is gonna pay that much for something that costs $14AUS!

What are the differences (apart from the quality of the toy) of this KO compared to the real thing? (like sticker apps etc)

Though the user-guidelines to this thread are against the advertising or encouragement to purchase KO's, my philosophy about KOs is this - if you're thinking about buying one - buy one, play with it and then you will get from first-hand experience the inferiority of its quality in comparison to the real thing. Then you'll learn to not probably buy one ever again.

Sure, some KOs may be of decent (or even up to par) quality but can you really live with owning a fake and not the geninue thing? (I know I can I have a KO VF-1S figure! lol)

It's my opinion dude that people should be allowed to purchase whatever they'd like - It is a free country after all.
To promote the purchase of KO things though is a moral judgement and many feel here that it is wrong because it is basically promoting theft, theft from those hard working HasTakTom Geniuses who design our beloved TF Products.

In regards to the KO Oversized Soundwave, I believe there is no difference in terms of the actual Mould apart from the fact it's been scaled up to the size of a Masterpiece - That and obviously the stickers on Soundwave, Ravage and Laserbeak/Buzzsaw are wrong/fake.

Give me some time and you'll find out. Haven't even got him off the card yet, but I can tell you this:

-Both his transformation and articulation appear to be identical
-Clearly based off his TRU exclusive reissue (double-sized door, Fortress Maximus layout on Ravage, etc.)
-Red optics
-Has about 7 tiny 'missiles' on his shoulder cannon that appear to do nothing
-Can attach to your belt
-Only a single (non-firing?) missile. No cassette covers like the reissue
-Ravage has NO feet articulation. And you thought posing the original was tough
-Still chromed

EDIT:

That and obviously the stickers on Soundwave, Ravage and Laserbeak/Buzzsaw are wrong/fake.

It's Laserbeak for this release. Sorry, Buzzsaw fans.
