    So, those who created Lightning McQueen, Pixar, get nothing, but Hasbro gets all sorts of respect when it comes to intellectual property?

    Can you say "hypocrit"? I hope you can, because that is what you are.

    *shrugs* I buy KOs and Bootlegs of toys that are no longer being made, so even if I were to buy a used one HasTak wouldn't get a cent.
    I also usually only buy ones that don't EXIST in the HasTak lines or would be too difficul (or too expensive) to modify into what I want.
    So given that HasTak doesn't have the version I want and thus wouldn't get my money in the FIRST place...

    On topic: I *REALLY* hope they put out g1 colors Breakdown ^_^ May not get the g2 colors yet, but maybe someday. PcP I won't be getting though, I've got a kitbash in the progress that I like better overall ^_^

    I buy things cuz I think they look cool or fun... That's it

    Until somebody can prove that a ko or knock off actually hurt the sales of a legit item the whole conversation is pointless

    What I want to know is, will CHMS fix the small head on P/CP? Cuz that's one major thing that's keeping the original one from being a really really great figure.

    Well, they are obviously hurting the encore line, but that's besides the point. Screw IP for all I care, BUT that's not the reason I think people should take a stance against them, I think people should reject KO's because by enabeling KOs you're screwing over other collectors who thinks they buy legit merchendise, or see their collection devalue...if it was the exact same product, then fine...but it's not - it's made out of inferior plastic that breaks easily, more often than not it has plastic residue that needs to be removed, has sharp edges, uses lead paint, etc, etc, etc, etc.

    If it wasn't for KO assholes I for example wouldn't have found myself in a situation like last week for example when I bought a complete g1 scorponok in mint condition (it had a price to reflect that condition too), but when I got it it came with a KO headmaster that besides the things I just listed makes a squeeking noise if you touch his breastplate due to not being assembled properly, jumps out of the head slot when you shut the chest compartment of scorponok due to a bad fit, and that doesn't display the same str/spd/int values because the pegs that it connects to scorponok with are too short.

    Wow. You are overthinking this way too much. First you blame the companies that make the bootlegs, now you're blaming the collector. Funny :)  You said it yourself, its THEIR collection. Not yours. I like how you're trying to shove your opinion down other people's throats here.

    People will buy what they will buy. You have no control over it. You can complain about it as much as you want. You can ride an even higher horse, but no one will care what you say. If they want it, they will buy it. I honestly don't know why you're making such a concerted effort to over-complicate such a simple concept.

    Yes, they will. You ask the question as if it hasn't happened already. You say its not worth it. But that's only your opinion. Other people will not sway theirs just because say it is so.

    You're over complicating the issue again. I can see you looking like the troll in Lord of the Rings chanting "my precious" when you're fondling all your toys. You said it yourself, its just a toy. So who cares where it comes from. You've made yourself look like a hypocrite enough. Why keep trying? We get it....you don't practice what you preach.

    A transforming Lightning McQueen goes against everything Cars is about :angry:!

    That being said, I'm surprised they aren't more Transformer Cars toys.

    Don't waste you breath on him. He is one of those collectors that is pissed he has the original and the value just bottomed out and wants to justify why this is wrong.

    Awesome, save me one. =)
