    Wow! Do the Chinese now have replication machines or something? Its not easy to make duplicates of such a complex figure.

    However its not worth the price unless you broke your real MP-01 and need spare parts.

    OMG...this is gonna get harder with every TF figure we buy!!
    is Hasbro doing anything to stop cheap manufacturing cost vs toy plans from being exposed to other KO dealers?

    i am already having doubts about buying Metroplex, seeing so many KOs on ebay right now...

    its all plastic i think.... so the quality of the parts would be questionable as replacements kup, they (same manufacturers) started with the binaltechs (seen the KOs before in Phils) when the line was in its infancy. Hmmm we'd probably see in the near future a KO MP Megs - well hes mostly plastic so hell be quite easy to KO. wish theyd KO in a fine quality i suppose some energon cubes hehehehehe.

    Part of the problem here is the international nature of this, Iceburn.

    Hasbro could easily flex their corporate muscle if these things were coming out of, say, Delaware. But their ability to do the same in other jurisidictions can be limited. The Chinese government doesn't always care about things such as a copyright and quality control.

    They have statutes against this sort of thing, but don't bother enforcing unless it becomes a major embarrassment, as was the case with the recent problems with pet food which killed quite a few dogs in the USA, or Mattel's recent issues with lead in toys.

    If it was up to Pawtucket (or the guys in the HQ of TakaraTomy), this sort of thing wouldn't happen, but as long as Beijing has other things to worry about (like trying to find a way to fool the world into thinking that there's no smog in Beijing for a month or so), KOs are likely to keep happening.

    I actually thought KO manufacturers would stay away from the masterpiece line because of its premium make (making it very difficult to duplicate). I was wrong....

    Scary thought, isn't it.

    Nothing is safe.
