It all seems good to me because it satisfies those buyers who are willing to accept KOs thus reducing my competition for getting originals

With all due respect, that is short sighted.

The more KOs the less inclined that HasTak is to release legit version. The G1 Constructicons is an example of this.

The more KOs sell, the more they are on Ebay. I had a real hard time trying to buy a BT Prowl as there are lots and lots of KOs out there and I almost fell for a loose KO BT Wheeljack that was being advertised as legit.

I have already been the victim of buying a loose KO Ratbat which is impossible to tell if its real or not through pictures.

So you end up with a greater risk of fraud from people selling loose 'accurate' KOs and more competition from people looking for the real thing.

Real BT Wheeljack and Prowls have increased in price considerably since the KOs came out because more people want to grab the ones that have been confirmed to be real and will not put off a chance to buy one as it will be harder and harder to do so as the KOs flood the market. It only takes two keen buyers to drive up the price of a bid on Ebay to insane prices.

Sorry. My comment was mostly in jest. I was just rolling off of roller's comment.

Fully agree with Kup there. Except the ratbat part, as I'm so warey that I'm not even considering buying any tapes because of all the KOs, and I really would like them, but damn KOs hold me back because they're impossible to tell outside of the "twin packs".
