Over in the US they can probably shut down stores and people dealing with knock-off products easily, but I'm not so sure they have the necessary judicial protection of intellectual property and brand merchandise over here. I'm not sure if Hasbro UK/Nordic would bother to go after the "perpetrators" dealing with counterfeit products. ICA AB and other store chains retailing these most likely bought the knock-offs from the importer in good faith, or they can easily claim to have done so, and Hasbro must therefore go after the importer and not the store chains themselves.


True. Last year Hasbro Nordic won against a danish importer of KOs, and the importer had to pay lost income to Hasbro - and nothing was really done against the producer, which i suspect was located in China, which are pretty much untouchable in regards to lawsuits...

So year, Hasbro (Nordic) are very vigilant and proactive in dealing with counterfitters.


LoL "children in the age of 59" ... "we've done business with them in the last 1015years"- Ooh man I laughed sooo hard. laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

It seems that the KO Fort Max was a false rumour. Anyway... I'm gonna buy a mini-Masterpiece Optimus Prime instead! thumbs.gif

Those Trans-Robot X - are the moulds TF-based on those? I am not all that good at recognising the most recent TF designs, so I'm just wondering. smile.gif

Nicely spotted, though! Will forward that to the right authorities. wink2.gif

You are right, those moulds are probably their own design (or at least not Hasbro/Takara) but I included those mostly because of the use of some of the artwork on the packaging; movie-07 Arcee and a cybertron Evac, not sure about the other ones.

True. Using copyrighted artwork like that is also a big no-no. smile.gif

Hasbro Nordic is looking into it now. Thanks for posting! smile.gif

This isn't just for TFs, right?
