Or that it's part of the original deal with the factory. The factory has to initially use the mold to make Hasbro and TakaraTomy's products then after X amount of time passes, they can use the mold for these sub-par knock off toy lines. It just seems like this problem has gone on for way too long and that there would be a way to prevent this from happening IF Hasbro/TakaraTomy really wanted to prevent it.
Of course, bringing the factory work back home to the U.S. of A wouldn't be a bad start either to prevent this problem but I'm sure it wouldn't be cost effective and that we'd end up paying through the nose for the increases to the product prices.
Well I purchased one on ebay last week for 10 dollars american plus shipping from Hongkong and I am now waiting for it to arrive in the mail. The colours are actually closer to G1 Megatron than its origional classic Megatron counterpart. I hope the quality is comparable its looks solid enough. The red face needs to be repainted in either white or silver though. Still overall it looks nice.DSanza wrote:That's actually pretty good. Does anybody know where to get this?
