    Default This KO promoting thing is going too far

    Its bad enough that TFW2005 is promoting a new KO G1 'accurate' Reflector release but they are also promoting the KO Alt Prowl!!

    Some could see that the KO Reflector and other 'lost mold' G1 releases as 'gray areas' since those toys will likely never see an official release again but promoting the Alt Prowl? That is beyond crossing the line

    On the KO front: We will be charging for Metrotitan preorders starting on
    Tuesday March 11th. Also we will be charging for the Alt Prowl preorders
    including the Chinese Police version. (if you have not been charged already)
    These are all shipping by the end of this month along with a few other KO
    Alts including the American Police version of the Acura, the blue Acura and
    the original Japanese version of the Acura. For the Generation 1 style of
    KOs, Devastator box set, Insecticons, and Snarl are shipping immediately
    along with a few older figures, Grimlock, clear Optimus Prime and a few
    others. Wheeljack and Sunstreaker are now said to be shipping in April along
    with a surprise to me: Reflector. Reflector should be available in three
    versions, Original Japanese box, original US white mailer box or an newly
    created American style Generation 1 box. The date for Reflector is not
    confirmed (like usual) but I am told late April or perhaps early May!

    That is a lot of knocking off going on right there.

    Obviously the moulds aren't all that "lost" if someone is making knock-offs with them. Can Hastak reclaim the moulds or anything like that off the KO-ers? I would love a re-issuse Metroplex for example, but with a bunch of KOs being whipped off, it aint gonna happen is it?

    I thought that they had the metroplex mould but it just wouldn't pass the drop test and they couldn't be arsed fixing it.

    TFW staff must be getting some decent sale prices or something to be flogging off the KO's as often as they have been lately.

    Either that or they have shares in the company making them !

    G1 Accurate Devastater KO set has been released. Obviously it is of a much higher quality that the cheapo one that you normally see on Ebay AU but still KO.

    As usual, FTW2005 is promoting them including a pics gallery:

    Just noticed, the box even has Hasbro's old logo on it.

    Autobreadticon, we've tried to make lists before but I couldn't find the thread last night. If you're in doubt about a toy though just ask and we'll set you straight.
