While the TFC reissue can go for a lot, I think that the loose, complete originals sell for a low price. I know that I paid around $15 each almost a year ago.

Well, as KO's are now seemingly coming to a close after KO Grimlock, Hasbro has contacted A3andup and asked them to remove all KO product listings from their website. :tdown (in a sad tone; Kremzeeeek.)

Hoorah for CHina!

Good riddance. Not only are KOs sold as "unofficial" reissues, but they are not even priced as KOs should be.

Got a link? I just scoured their site and their forum and there's no mention of this anywhere.

I'm sure they will contact the others as well.

Yeah, I think someone will start blowing the whistle on ALL these companies soon. I mean, they do business directly with Hasbro and I think Hasbro would definitely object to these same companies selling stolen intellectual property.

personally i don't see why hasbro and you folk have a stick up your ass about it. it sucks when somebody misrepresents them as genuine, but this is product that hasn't been made in 20+ years and unless hasbro intends to reproduce them, they should just let it go.

 

also, yea, maybe if you bought loose insecticons you could get them either cheaper or the same price, but these are absolutely dead on mint. i get so aggravated trying to buy the insecticons on a budget because you have to so closely scrutinize the Blotty low res pics that everybody tends to enjoy posting on ebay. i've been lucky enough to snag them at a good price, although both my bombshell and shrapnel aren't as nice as i'd like them to be. hell, most of the insecticons that go for $15 complete have the chrome with alot of yellow showing through or pretty foggy, or are missing a part somewhere. don't even get me started on the price of some of the other bots that have been ko'd *looks @ ratbat & mirage*.

spencer included a blurb about it in the A3U newsletter

 

Hasbro and KO`s

 

We have been contacted by Hasbro regarding our KO figures on our site. We have been asked to remove all the KO product for the time being. I will be creating more of a statement regarding this situation in a few days. If you have any questions please send them to me at spencer@agesthreeandup.com

I think Hasbro coming down on retailers is so wrong. :(

 

They have employed this tactic before of putting the onus on media and retailers when they should be of spending the time and money to stop the supply. What Hasbro is doing is more like beating up on the smaller children because they cannot be the bully.
