QC has taken a nosedive since Viet production.I buy as little as possible from China. I was thrilled when Hasbro moved much of their Transformers production to Vietnam.
I'd be surprised if this weren't Hasbro cost cutting as opposed to anything Vietnam controls. Loosely related, I hate their reduced plastic packaging where you can't even see what is inside.QC has taken a nosedive since Viet production.
Tomy makes most of their die cast cars in Viet Nam. Quality is superb…vastly superior to Matchbox and Hot Wheels.
But then that’s Tomy, who’s quality control is probably as good as any company on earth.
I've got a few toys made in Viet Nam and didn't really notice a quality difference, better or worse, over Chinese products. Most likely, they use the exact same plastic injection molding machines and ABS/PVC pellets, so, there wouldn't be. Some companies/workers are better at finding and removing molding flash, incompletely molded components, warped parts, etc., but, that's true of any country.
Nice... Playing catch-up with that one, and a few others at the moment. However, like yourself all I'm interested in is the early G1 characters... my cut-off is the movie, not interested in anything after that.MP-56 trailbreaker incoming.
Not many left until I finish the 84/85 lineup then I'm done. And even then a fair few are missing because they haven't made them in the 22yrs MP has been running.

24cmWhat version is that? I have the SoC reissue. It’s 24ct and about 14cm…closer to 13.5cm.
It kinda makes me want to throw every other robot toy I have in the garbage can…to be honest.
