As recently as FOC Wave 1, Hasbro are still using Chinese factories.
Cyberverse figures all appear to be made in Vietnam these days.

Ah, ok, never really noticed that before. Wonder if it's an indication it's for release outside of SDCC, similar to some previous TF toys which made their way to Asia.

I ordered one from Hong Kong earlier in the week. Just checked the tracking details and it has arrived in the country, should see it Monday

Man I hope mine doesn't have that QC problem otherwise I will be mighty pissed!

Yah man,the blue eyes really tempted me to get the Hasbro version.

I really hate waiting for him to show up!

Awesome to hear! Hopefully we'll get a bunch stateside too

Well I'm hoping that he still stays at the $100 price point we were told, but even if he comes in at $140 I'm buying the fuck out of him (Just don't let Hasbro know that they can pretty much gouge me all they want and I'm gonna buy it).

If I can access the link for the QC issues on AC-Toys, I will post it here too, just for information...

EDIT: the only picture I could find (seems that it was made in vietnam for this one)

Hopefully the US release isn't the defective batch.

Nice. Will definitely try to pick one up for bot mode (I'll keep MP-10 Convoy in truck mode).

After seeing the g1 Optimus in FoC I can't help but think that the MP could come out around the same day as the video game does. That was the feeling I had, and I'm going to stick with it.
