This is interesting... Tak Tomy stuff released in HK by Hasbro HK comes in Tak Tomy Boxes... I watched a pallet of MP-10's and MP-23's get delivered to a store 2 weeks ago and the boxes were definitely Tak Tomy - not a sign of a Hasbro logo on them...

Surely they don't waste time un-boxing and re-boxing into Hasbro boxes for Oz? Do they???
