    does a ko have a different date on it? or colour or weight difference to the original? and what makes it a ko? i thought everyone would like a sunstreaker since the ori mould got screwed.

    The Sunstreaker mould is _rumoured_ to be lost, it hasn't been officially confirmed. And just because a toy is rare and there's a chance that it cannot be reissued, doesn't mean that we are all willing to accept a counterfeit as a substitute. Depends on your own standards/opinions as a collector. This is discussed in further depth here.

    Umm wow - I've never read out all the arguments laid out like that on that thread. Food for thought Goktimus.

    I do think you also raise a good point that rumours of a lost mold doesn't completely rule it out as a future release. I don't think anyone could have "predicted" Omega Supreme and Sky Lynx coming out like that, and its always possible that a mold could be re-engineered from existing toys Takara has the copyright to.
