    ^100% agree.

    Especially considering that's it's often cheaper to get the originals either:
    * pre-ordered
    * at RRP
    * off the secondary market if it's loose (and if you're a MISB collector, surely you'd only want an original -- who buys fakes to keep them sealed?!?)

    I chucked out about half a dozen counterfeit G1 Transformers (all were given to me for free, I didn't pay for them) over the weekend. I can't even bring myself to give them away to other people. I just chucked them in the wheelie bin and took great satisfaction hearing them crack (I threw them in with significant force).

    Who knows, maybe that's the whole plan behind the anime editions. However the only way such a plan will be successful is if they price them at affordable prices rather then the $200-300 and upwards we've seen of the more recent TT Mall figures...

    I will pay $250 for a properly well done painted anime Starscream with ALL accessories and TT can label it it Perfect edition just to sucker all of us.
    With the ONE condition, that it has to be passed through top QC checks unlike what Ramjet is getting.

    If you sell that price then make sure the standards fit, otherwise it will just not be satisfying. I don't mind if TT kick up a notch in quality and start charging higher as this is a collector's line.

    TT has milk seekers for ages and took them so long to come out ramjet.
    The KO industry if they took a step further and painted Starscream white, would have now nuke Ebay mp-11.

    Still waiting on the member's KO pic comparison.

    DaimChoc's reporting that this KO has diecast and improved parts.

    I can see the diecast, but does anyone see the improvements?

    Was this the one?

    LOL! It's only been transformed once but is still in "new" condition! Shoulda said: "never been transformed and only dropped once."
