The thing I hate most about these G1 Knockoffs? They are darn rare. They'd be fun if I could just walk into the nearest chinese market and pick them off for 5$ or less. But these are made by Chinese fans for the sole reason to make money by ripping off people (see fake Cyclonus, casettes, OP, etc. You'll never see these in chinese stores... heck even the mini-gestalts or Destroy Monarch (G1 Megatron) are hard to find.

Actually, I saw this all coming when someone started selling fake SWoop boxes on ebay...

I found the mini-gestalts dead easy - though I was in the San Francisco Chinese markets. Swoop is going to be a lot harder to get.

I only have Bruticus and Defensor, the rest were seen here, but not often. The larger (worse quailty) gestalts are easier to find.

But even the KO Megs was seen twice or so here...
