Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Classics Megatron - yes.
Henkei Megatron - risky. It's technically classified as a prohibited replica like MP05, Encore etc.

Whoa, i was about to order a Henki from RK.
So a classics is ok, but a henki megatron is suspect?

Yes. Please check with your state/territory laws regarding prohibited firearms and how to deal with those laws, e.g.: if you're in NSW ensure that you have a permit and other prerequisites for legally compliant ownership of prohibited gun Transformers.

Q: What's the story with the G1 Ultra Magnus reissue toys with a blue face? Is that a common production error? Or a sign of a KO? There's quite a lot of Takara reissue Ultra Magnus' on ebay but I think there's a realistic KO version too?

Jeez. Well MP05 is legal to buy/own/whatever here in WA with no permits etc. So surely henkei megs will be ok.
I'll order in a couple of days (waiting/watching a few ebay items) and be sure to let you all know how I get on.

There hasn't bean a reported confiscation of Henkei Megs, has there?
I got mine from RK a few months back no problems at all, but i'm in WA so it's no real measure. Considering it's in robot mode in the box, and still looks like a nerf gun, i don't think the silver alone will cause any problems.

[GoktimusPrime]

Yeah, I think these toys are not prohibited in WA.

Paulbot: a reissue with a blue face?? Sounds like it's either a KO or someone's cobbled it together from a regular non-reissue Magnus parts... either way, something's definitely sussed.

Blue face?

My KO meter is going off the scale...

Just some questions about the Cliffjumper upgrade kit.
- Do you guys think this one is legit?
- The seller says that this is from the second production of the kit. I was under the impression that there was only 1 run (hence the price you see nowadays)
- and finally, that's a good price right?

It's a bootleg, and apparently it's a crap bootleg.

Pricing: The REAL one isn't worth that much. I mean, you can spend that much money on better things, or hell, get yourself an extra City Commander set. From what I recall, Fan's Project themselves artificially created the ridiculous prices for the Cliffjumper set that we see now by jacking up the price every time somebody enquired about it. At least, that's what people on the major TF boards reported.
