Bullring Poundland has stacks of KO (of course) oversized Micromsters, in multiple colours. I dare not think how quickly they will fall apart in Ralphs hands but they look great. Oh and 2 to a pack.

Saw two sets of KOs today - some oversized Legends including a nice Sunstorm and an Oversized Minicon Overcast with a similar sized helicopter based on the same mould. |

I bought a couple of Alien Terminator things yesterday. They were KO's of Legends Leobreaker and Scourge. Both were 99p each. I saw these on Holiday - had some KO minicons on the back too. Finally saw the oversized minicon KOs in a £shop in Barnstaple while away this week - Supressor & Brimstone at about basic size |

The Poundshop near me has received more oversized spychanger KOs. There were two variant packs - the first contained an oversized RiD Crosswise with a space shuttle, while the second had Crosswise with a helicoptor (no idea who it was, but it was definitely not Cyberton Jolt).

Very cheap but nice looking 2 packs or arielbots in Poundland. More or less G1 colours, original size. Likely to melt in sunlight.

I saw those too! No Silverbolt, so no combinery goodness. The backs of the cards promised giant Terrorcons, Technobots, Requiem Blaster and Skyboom Shield, but I didn't see any  I wouldn't mind a giant Requiem Blaster or Skyboom, that'd be sweet. |

Oooh. I've never had any Aerialbots. I must keep an eye out for these.
I encountered two batches of knock-offs during a trip to Worthing on Friday:
First, I spotted G1 Jumpstarters remoulds in Store Twenty One (a rebranded Qs store, apparently). The body resembles Top Spin, but the head had been remoulded to remove the humanoid face.
Second, a discount store (one of the non-99p type) was selling BW knock-offs for 3.50 each. I spotted Dinobot, Wolfang and a Robot Masters Megatron. They looked a little fragile, but all three could have been mistaken for the real thing at a distance.
I was trying to impress a special lady at the time and had to resist the urge to buy them on sight. However, I may have an opportunity to go back in a few weeks. Email me if you are interested in any figures and I'll try to pick one up.

Yes. Taking them to a supermarket is so 1995.

Yay! There's now a Poundland in Belfast, nipped in on friday to find KO Aerialbot goodness. No sign of the promised Terrorcons on the card back.

I spotted more KOs in a shop called 'All Sorts' in Dorking earlier today. The KOs, packaged in robot mode, broadly resembled* Movie Prime and Movie Jazz. However, a quick look at the rear of the packaging revealed the toys were remoulds of G1 Onslaught. I was tempted for the tat value, but £4.99 was a bit too steep.
In an extremely broad sense. They were ugggllyyy.

Saw a movie Ironhide KO in local poundland. Mmmmm, yellow. I think it was based on the FAB mold.
There was nothing funky about it so omitted to take a photo.

For what it's worth, anyone who wants Alternators/Binaltech KOs, including the repainted ones, the guys who run the toy stall at Chapel Market in Angel occasionally have some; I've bought a white Hound, Red Smokescreen and some plastic Wheeljacks from them.

Oooh how much? Are any metal or are they all plastic? |

Aside from Wheeljack, they're the metal A&L ones. They've only had regular Streak, flaming Dead End, red Streak, yellow and white Hound, and maybe a regular Hound as far as I've seen. The metal ones are a tenner a pop, and Wheeljacks are £8, which is pretty decent compared to ebay, KOtoys, Taobao or wherever. It's also a sign that a UK toy distributor is getting them somewhere.  |

apparently there's 2 different sets of these floating around on the same cards - some have the parts for arm combination,some don't.
