    This thing is being sold and distributed from within mainland China. It will be very hard for Hasbro to do much about that.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    I agree.

    I love MP Prime, but as I don't own MP Megatron, so I find he is bit too big, not just with Grimlock but even with the Binaltechs and MP seekers. I know Prime was always a big bot, but the Binaltechs barely come up to his groin.

    huh? thats a weird way to think about things... i thought that the solution would have been to make a grimlock that is bigger, not make a Prime that is smaller....

    heh, it's good to look at now, wait til it gets colored in those ridiulous color mix just like them fake BTs. Mixmatched colors, too bright, too dull would make or break this figure....

    These iGear people make me . They're also releasing (or have released, I don't keep track of this stuff) a Masterpiece Prime-sized Optimus Prime trailer and a crown for Masterpiece Grimlock: hmm... items that sound vaguely familiar for some reason. They're bootleggers and yet for some reason they regularly get in the newsfeed at TFW2005 and praised on the boards as if they're not the knockoff merchants they are.

    They're just asking for trouble, and will get Hasbro to bring the hammer down on the actual fan kit makers.

    Their products have no real creativity. And there have been rumours they were the ones who've been KO-ing the works of other fan kit makers.

    It is way way way too far...

    This explosion of 'fan' crap is crazy even if it is an original concept it is getting less and less cool with me...

    Look at the front page of robot kingdom, it is almost all that type of stuff.

    I did get some addons for my MP's but it basically went right back in the box...

    I think I'd rather keep my money to buy real transformers.

    I don't consider the crown as a KO. It is an accessory set for people who bought the original release - The business they would take from the comic version is negligible as nobody in their right mind would buy the whole expensive toy again only for the crown.
