Ditto to Stormrider. Very suspicious or is it coincidental that the KO makers got burned
with Metroplex or should I say they are trying to recoup their losses with their cloned master molds.
I say it again as I say it a hundred times...............there will always be the black/gray market for such goods unless the original manufacturers provided the highly demanded product.Make it an Ipod,I-phone,Harry Potter books, TF DVDs etc.
In China for instance, TF G1 is one HOT Tamalle............really, no kidding!Blame it on the original Marvel/Sunbow Team who helped create the mythology.
Plus factor in the thousands of dopes who can't tell the real from the fakes and you've got a situation where some enterprising business person will try to fill up the void.
This doesn't justify the deed but let's face reality, someone will do it............make KO's.
How to stamp it out? Already we can see the result..............the release of the official Metroplex negated whatever profit margin the KO were supposed to reap thus now they are forced to repack them as the real thing. But still it didn't stop the KO from being repack no?
Don't buy 'em......well iffy, they are akin to being trophy pieces, heck some museams get burned too by purchasing fake Rembrandts and the works.
