I'll be making payments on her for the next 2 years. Gotta get my credit going. Can't beat a Honda.

Honda and Toyota make great cars.

There's a Honda called "Beat" though.

They make wonderful cars, wise choice you did. My only pet peeve is that they are expensive compared to Toyotas, for example.

Isn't that the new Chevy Beat you're thinking of? (Skids in ROTF)

I got tons of stuff lately, these are notable though.

I don't know what this guy is but hes made by Tomy.

sweet megazords, LD!!

I especially like the SPD swat Megazord. The SPD series was my favorite. I only have the various Jumbo (2 foot tall, non transforming) Megazords, all but the SPD Omega Megazord.

Yeah megazords are impressive. In the same lot I got SWAT actionfigure thing. ITs the same megazord, only it transforms into the red ranger and space gun.

You know me, Ben... I'm very off to date with new or contemporary stuff (so I'm very unfamiliar with a Chevy Beat)! The Honda Beat is from the early 90s.

After my post in the TF misnomer thread, I began thinking more about my time working for KB Toys, and started missing my old G2 Cyberjets (3 for $5... can't beat that!!). Knowing I will likely never find them for anywhere close to that price, I went to one of the nearby Family Dollar stores and spent a whopping $3 on these KOs:

I love that one of them has a sticker with his production date on it. KOs rock!

Unfortunately, they didn't remake my favorite of the three molds, only the 'Stealth' and 'Conquest' fighters. Quality is OK, not great and not awful. Posability is comparable, the joints are really tight initially but I expect them to loosen very easily, launchers don't work worth a darn.

I'm going to try to convert KO Space Case into a 'crossovers' style Cobra Python Patrol Conquest/ Python Patrol Viper.

Picked this up at a garage sale. Cannot find any manufacturing stamp though. Any ideas what it is?

I can't tell you but it looks pretty sweet though. I can tell you that I see ones like that in the Italian stores sometimes. I'm not sure about the quality of the ones here though and that looks to be decent quality.

The parts are well done, and the side panels are metal. Unless I'm transforming it wrong the robot mode is bad. The head is hidden and "legs" don't seem to move wide enough or far enough forward.

Zoids CP {customize parts} 4 & 6

Got another huge box of broken parts. Some interesting things in it.

Sadly he's missing a few bits. Looks okay from the side though so I'll stick him on the shelf.

Anyone know what this digimon's name is?

Are animorphs counted as transformers? They're hasbro.

Rattrap · Post by **Rattrap** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 4:24 pm

Although it shames me to know this, the Digimon is Greymon and judging from the chest and tail he transforms into MetalGreymon.

LD2062 · Post by **LD2062** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 4:45 pm

Cool, thanks.

Any idea what the KO grimlock is actually named?

LD2062 · Post by **LD2062** » Fri Sep 11, 2009 4:10 pm

Okay some more fun KOs from a small junk lot.

This guy reminds me a lot of powermaster doubledealer. Lots of modes on him, check the link for the others.

obviously a KO shockwave, pleasantly surprised to get it with the barrell, and nearly intact. This one have a name?

Rumble · Post by **Rumble** » Fri Sep 11, 2009 4:14 pm

Nice KOs. I am not sure about that Shocky one, but do tell, is that flexible plastic pipe rather then a rubber hose for the electrics?

Rumble.

EDIT: Looking at the Shocky varient pics on my PC, It might be one of these:

Feels like rubber to me, possible its plastic.
