Yes your right is it fair to pay 300 for 6 toys that if released at normal retail would cost no more than 10 each, yes thank you hasbro for making us pay 300 for a collection of 6 to robots made for childen which would only have cost you 10 for each figure and would have made you a ton more money had you released it at retail, also i love the fact your completely ignoring the fact you will need to book flights (more money) hotels (more money) other travel costs to the venue (again more money) obviously money for things such as food and clearly more money for 'just in case' situations. so yeah.....loads of money for a toy that realistically a child should be playing with
sorry but paying 300 for toys is essentially like being raped and then being spat on for good messure only your to dumb to realise you just got screwed outa 300 bucks for £10 each toys when you could have used the 300 for something sensable like - rent/food/your children/your mortgage/pet insurance ect ect
truth is generalstratton is saying it far better than anyone else ive ever seen before but the sad thing is its all these hardcore botcon ect owners who moan and complain like children because a toy they paid 200-300 for has lost slight value because a high quality ko has shown up on the market. If your gona bitch and moan about a toy and the price then dont buy 2nd hand dvds/games or anything else for that matter because the companies dont receive ANY of that money and if your gona then moan about that then it simply makes you a hypocrite
Also kotoys forum isnt that great! ive tried to register there afew times and several times the stupid things acused me of being a sodding bot which ive selected NO to the question - are you a bot.
Ive tried to register there afew times but it just wont let me try anymore and i just get error messages. Its odd because i had no problem registering on the kotoys store section but the forum is just a pain in the ass to deal with.

Too bad I already bought an original Counterpunch but now I can display him as both identites. I would like to find out more about the rumor of KO toys being forced to shut down. Suprisingly, he just updated his website today with new pre-orders. I hope him being forced to shut down is just a rumor being spread by haters.

Seems kind of odd that that Hasbro can touch KO Toys but not the CHMS factory. They both operate legally in China. Even though KO Toys might currently be the face of CHMS, there are other outlets to purchase these KO’s. As someone said before, KO Toys might just start business under a new name with a new site. They have e-mail alerts which could be used to contact loyal customers like myself. He might also just go straight to e-bay where there are many Chinese dealers selling the same KO’s he is selling.
I’m not going to waste my time trying to wake up those people who don’t like getting more bang for their buck. I’m not going to entertain those collectors who pledge allegiance to Hasbro’s corporate echelon of copyright holders in suits and ties.
I collect everything and don’t really care who makes it. If I could start popping Botcon figures out my a** that look like the originals, I would set up shop in China and sell them too. It’s all about the characters, and the fans that love them. It’s not about corporate investors that clench tightly to little pieces of paper they bought from Japanese stakeholders. Last time I checked all Hasbro’s factories were set up in China so they can pay workers Chinese wages and milk every ounce of profit they can make. So technically, a Hasbro product is no different than a high quality KO. That is, unless you care who owns the bucket of melted plastic it came from.
