Transformers toys now being made in Vietnam?

[Vector Prime]

no offense to any Viets here but I'm inclined to say that there will be more KOs and quality will be half-ass'ed. QA standard will almost be non-existant

I do take offense to that as I am Vietnamese - you can't generalize or stereotype since most Asian countries (Phillipines, China, Taiwan, Thailand, etc) have dodgy practices when it comes to quality control and knock-offs.

Saying one is better than the other in this respect is just plain ignorant...

ps. off-topic... did you know that they mix/dilute the contents of a well-known bottle of shampoo with water (60/40 ratio) and sell it for RRP?

What does that have to do with the quality of a TF toy?

If it serves no relevance, and is off-topic, why bother to post it on here when we're discussing a change in region of manufacture and possibly a quality control change?

Shampoo is a complete different product and how do you know that the product is not a KO and is not being sanctioned by the real manufacturer?

Everyone knows that KOs of anything tend to be of inferior quality...
