This KO promoting thing is going too far

[kup]

Its bad enough that TFW2005 is promoting a new KO G1 'accurate' Reflector release but they are also promoting the KO Alt Prowl!!

Some could see that the KO Reflector and other 'lost mold' G1 releases as 'gray areas' since those toys will likely never see an official release again but promoting the Alt Prowl? That is beyond crossing the line

On the KO front: We will be charging for Metrotitan preorders starting on
Tuesday March 11th. Also we will be charging for the Alt Prowl preorders
including the Chinese Police version. (if you have not been charged already)
These are all shipping by the end of this month along with a few other KO
Alts including the American Police version of the Acura, the blue Acura and
the original Japanese version of the Acura. For the Generation 1 style of
KOs, Devastator box set, Insecticons, and Snarl are shipping immediately
along with a few older figures, Grimlock, clear Optimus Prime and a few
others. Wheeljack and Sunstreaker are now said to be shipping in April along
with a surprise to me: Reflector. Reflector should be available in three
versions, Original Japanese box, original US white mailer box or an newly
created American style Generation 1 box. The date for Reflector is not
confirmed (like usual) but I am told late April or perhaps early May!

[jaydisc]

reflector mould is lost?

if hasbro dont care we must make them care otherwise no reissues

now, im on the fence on this one, i say we should, i dont know...build a fence!!!

That is a lot of knocking off going on right there.

Obviously the moulds aren't all that "lost" if someone is making knock-offs with them. Can Hastak reclaim the moulds or anything like that off the KO-ers? I would love a re-issuse Metroplex for example, but with a bunch of KOs being whipped off, it aint gonna happen is it?

I thought that they had the metroplex mould but it just wouldn't pass the drop test and they couldn't be arsed fixing it.
