Been waiting for these to pop up on E-Bay. The boxes were seen a few months ago, and then the first KO was seen a few weeks later.

[glow=red,2,300]How do we know it's a knock-off? Looks pretty darn authenmtic from the pics...
Anyone got one for sale? I have stopped buying TF's, but for a minty swoop (albeit a knockoff) I'll make an exception...[/glow]

I have stopped buying TF's, but for a minty swoop (albeit a knockoff) I'll make an exception...[/glow] It's done by the same people doing the Cassettes and Prime. It's very hard to tell the differance just by looking, but the plastic feels slightly cheeper (but only slightly - the cassettes are great!). There's often also spelling or print error s on the packaging (the easiest to spot was the Frenzy/ Buzzsaw pack which had a Rumble/Lazerbeak front and a Frenzy/Ravage back). |

Woah, I'm totally out of the loop. I only just had a look at the Classics now too, and am totally blown away. I fear I'm being sucked in again! If anyone can tell me where to find these knock-offs I'd appreciate it. |

Right now the KO Swoops are only being sold through word of mouth. A few have slipped onto E-Bay and have went for about $80.

This is shocking.
£80 for a bootleg?
Seriously, if some wierdo can bootleg a TF to this level of quality, then why the hell can't Takara just reissue them?
Quite frankly, it's ridiculous. People that buy these either have money to burn, or are stupid.
