Transformer KO's


Gazmondo

Recommended Posts

And so I happily bought some of those BT/Alt KO's at Kotoys.

 

That was june the 16th.

 

They were shipped with trackin number on June the 20th.

 

After three weeks I mailed them because I still hadn't received anything and the tracking number had never yielded any information. TO which I only got a reply asking to which country they were sent.

 

And after four weeks I mailed them again because I still hadn't received anything and the tracking number didn't do anything.

 

And today it's five weeks and........still nothing. No KO's and no e-mail reply.

 

 

So, I guess I'll have to make a Paypal claim about not receiving anything and hope I can find another place to buy the KO BT's I want (Red Smokescreen, White Sideswipe & gray flamed Sideswipe).

 

:tfsad

 

You might still get them, I ordered from KOtoys and also from www.chimungmung.com on the same day, got the package from Chimungmung less than a week later but was waiting for another 2 weeks til the KOtoys stuff came...

 

BTW KOtoys has a forum, you could try posting in there?

 

Yeah, but that's only two weeks later and a total of three weeks and includes the time they need to pack the items.

 

Normal shipping time from Asia to The Netherlands is usually between one and two weeks. (I had actually bought something from an e-bay seller in Hong Kong well after buying from KOtoys and it arrived in less then a week, and that's including a weekend: that's shipped on Thursday and arriving on the following Wednesday.)

 

I bought from KOToys on june the 14th, they marked it shipped on the 20th of June and that was slightly more than 5 weeks ago (5 weeks and three days). So, the total time is already over 6 weeks :(. That's way too much.

 

Should it still arrive, then yay. But in the meantime to cover every possible angle I've filed a Paypal claim. (Although I'd much rather not have the money and my figures.)

 

I think the trouble is with EMS. I don't think I've ever had good experiences with EMS shipping (so far it's been delayed shipping, seriously damaged packages and lost packages).

 

I've delt w/ Mike before, he's a good guy & don't think he'd screw anyone but shipping can be quite slow. I'm sure everything will arrive soon. If by chance this goes sour & you end up getting your money back I've got quite a few of these for sale & are already located in the US. Not trying to be "Spammy" just trying to offer a helping hand, I know what it's like to really want something and not be able to get it.

 

On another note, I just ordered these from Heero. Ended up getting 3 of the Starscream/Thrust sets so that I could have Skywarp & Thundercrack but it's all good I can just resell the extra Thrusts.... GLOW.IN.THE.DARK!

Wait a minute. Who is THAT in the middle!?

 

...

 

You know what? I don't care what it is. I want it. Give it to me.

 

Looks like it's a Alternator Viper with a scaled up RID Speed Breaker/Side burn's head. It's not on KOToys, is it a custom?

 

Anyhow, I got the "Tool King Bot" knock off of Fort Max in the mail yesterday. While he doesn't have his accessories, extra robots, or a transforming head, he's a pretty nice recreation of Fort Max. All the panels open like the original. Certainly would recommend. :thumb

It's a custom RID Sideburn/SpeedBreaker made from an Alternator Sideswipe. Did it years ago :)

Sold at Debbie's Dollar for $1, we have "Interchange Robot", who looks surprisingly like Botcon Shattered Glass Goldbug (I added the repro label myself). It's a 125% oversize of Cybertron Legends Hot Shot. I was considering added some paint details and a blue head.

Since I don't own a real SG Goldbug, and they cost a fortune, this is probably the closest I'll ever get to Goldbug.

Compare here with the real SG Bumblebee toy.

Here is a knockoff of Robot Masters Mirage in red I picked up at a dollar store.

Some funny Engrish mistakes on the paint. His left arm says "ANDROID MODERN", while his right arm states "DIORDNA NREDOM"

 

Wow they printed it backwards QC really dropped the ball on that one. :tflaugh

I recently found some KO G1 cassettes on eBay, bright primary colors, no weapons. A set of 5 for about $14 shipped. I didn't have my hopes up too high, esp. since I wasn't sure they'd fit in Soundwave. Sure enough, they're just a tiny bit too big. They'll look good in robot modes next to him, so no loss.

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
