I have got a topic to ponder over - as this is my 1st 3rd party TFs.

How do we categorize this kind of TFs toys?

1st type is original - hasbro, mechtech or Takara
2nd type is KO - real cheapo non-authentic copy but selling at cheap pricing at Mama shop. For kids to trash with them.
3rd type - I hated most, totally KO, quality worst than 2nd type but selling at almost 1st type pricing and passing off as original. (I got some of this from U-toys).
4th type - fanproject or maketoys, considering them as 3rd party authentic toys at premium price.

How should we call them or any proper categories to call them at?

1. Original TF lo
2. Cheapo Chiong TF
3. BURN DOWN THEIR SHOP TF
4. Third party originals

:s13:

I agreed. At least tell us what we are paying for rather then secretly sell and fake ignorant about it. I stop purchasing from U-toy ever since 2yrs ago I bought a few HA at their bazaar, level 1, CSC. I totally banned them and dun recommend them to anyone at all.

I dont mind ko of ko toys as long as it is priced accordingly. Yeah i guess those factories in china dont really honour NDAs so a lot of things can be duplicated. Anyway there are many other ko toys maker like tfc, iron factory, xtransbots, mmc and so on. I guess if they dare to display their company name on the boxes, they are considered 1st tier KO company

tfc, iron factory, xtransbots, mmc, i consider them as third party not KO~

KO are those that copies 1 to 1

They improve or make their own design~

Example~ Add on for FOC Grimlock

Haiz, sad to see people still trying to offload their TF toys at profit.

MP Grimlock - from 3-400 drop to $220.
MP Starscream - now price also dropping
MP Sideswipe - now worthless with 1st class KO quality and new reissue.

All this trouble for what? $50 profit? $100 profit? End up only have a bad name for yourself.

On a happier note...

Yay! Got my Caelus in hand today! Not exactly what I like, but at least my grimlock now has a partner!
