Nowhere does it say that these are now in KO toys, let's not create mass hysteria. We all still love our KO toys, just let's not swallow any pieces now...or wash our hands when we're done playing with them, lol

From what I gather the Jinbao version is supposedly better quality than their feral rex, also non-simplified, however, plastic is slightly lesser quality (not matte, glossy) compared to the original warbotron. But for $120 for the set, wow, what can I say...I also can't imagine how I'd feel if I paid upwards of $500 for the originals. I'm starting to dislike this hobby...

$120 USD or CAD?

[joelones]

Obviously USD. Like every other price quote in this hobby...

Like, you buy a set for $500 and some time later you can get the same (perhaps better) for $120. Are you happy?

Nothing is ever that obvious with KO's. I paid less than $120 CAD shipped for Rex

On TFW2005, a thread has this set for 100 USD, shipping whole world.
I pre-order one from there.

I'm just saying I don't think it's a concern, unless anyone knows of any pathogens that can survive the temperatures toy factories use to melt plastic?

See my analogy regarding Tragically Hip Concert tickets.

Yeah exactly, but I believe it's the loose + slow shipping option. The 125 gets you the in box version and EMS.

Don't know the science but you are probably right.

Yeah, I thought about that since I have some family members who work in the medical profession. Anyway, I apologize, it wasn't my intention to cause hysteria.

Anyway, I found these reviews for the Jiabao Warbotron figures. The channel hasn't yet released reviews for the Onslaught and Blast Off figures yet. Hope they help people when trying to assess the quality of the toys.
