Also, does this mean Hasbro will sort their distribution out properly? I wouldn't be considering buying a KO Alt Prowl if the figure had got a proper release in the UK.
Why can't you just buy an official Binaltech or Alternator Prowl on eBay instead of a knock off?

I think the next suitable step would be for Hasbro to start using trustworthy factories and workers.

I'm not exactly a newb on this KO thing...I've bought some on purpose knowing they were KOs, but isnt the Megatron at the bottom of your link an actual re-issue?This maybe where the KO market gets ridiculous. I know all the other items in that link are KO, but I would be tricked on the Megatron since that was an actual re-issue.

That seller sells both knockoff and official reissue.

Shouldn't Hasbro be sending complaints to this very site for promoting theft? Of course I don't have a problem with the pre-release toys, but it seems to be at odds with this site's bias against knockoffs.

Not to mention him buying a prerelease figure is far different than buying a cheap KO. It’s really no different than buying an old figure off eBay.
So yeah, I’m sorry if you think it’s wrong that Ryan buys these toys to give us pictures and then rebuys them at retail.

Still sounds like buying stolen goods to me. He paid Hasbro for one figure, yet owns two. If I walked into Target and stole a figure and paid for another, then said "Don't worry, I paid for it once!"
Of course if Hasbro had any brains they'd just mail sample figures to Ryan to primote their figures, the galleries he does always look awesome. Just don't pretend they are not stolen goods.

You act as if he IS stealing them. He’s not, some guy in china is, Ryan paid for it so what’s the problem? It’s not his fault Hasbro cant have some security in their own darn facilities. If they have a problem with it they should A: notify the site or B: Tone up security or move the plants to somewhere safer. And so far I haven’t herd of Hasbro doing either.
And like you said, the galleries are almost free advertising, I’d say if they wanted to do something about it they’d be doing more harm than good.
We were all temporarily suspended for selling the KO TF.
I should have a web site up soon with KO's for sale.
