China is a problem.
They started out innocently enough, with american-carded minis with a unique sticker pasted on them for their market. However, it has been discovered that China may have cranked out several lines of transformers, 'under the table'. These can be told apart from regular tfs by the copystamp, and the box and sticker quality, among other things (for example, 84/85 tfs such as Beachcomber and Ironhide were being remade as late as 1994 in original-esque packaging). For more information on this phenomenon, see the China page. It is interesting to note that, like Ironhide, Beachcomber was found in case-lots(all of the same tf packed in one case)
