There is like an all english rule in the board bro'. Btw if you mean the high end knock off or "china" copy, well compared to the real thing I give them 80-90% as good as the original. Not comparing to the cheapo K.O.s in various local department stores but they are kind of pricey so prepare to pay top peso for them.
Check my reviews on Devastator, Wheeljack and Grimlock.

mojacko, if you are asking for the high-end Dev, I heard from the grapevine that there are some at CSC in Singapore.

So far the Knockoff TF G1 are hit or miss hit: -Mirage - not bad, I'm very satisfied with this one. Best KO so far -Shockwave- not bad too but has some problems with rusting in his groin area (Where the shaft for the legs are) -Grimlock- not bad, only the blaster does not fit in his hand, go figure. -Wheeljack- a bit loose in the ankles but is decent enough to hang out with other true G1. -Cyclonus-not bad but not accurate enough IMHO, I had the original toy, some of the plastic parts seem different(too small?) -Scourge- decent enough Miss: -the other Dinobots- tough joints, paint blots, loose horns -Aerialbots - missing the landing pad for Silverbolt I never got the following so I can't really comment on them. -Devastator -Insecticons -PRowl -Sharcticon But short of buying the vintage toys loose, it seems like this is the only way to complete the G1 characters so far. BTW all bootlegs should come with the manual (english reprint/reproduction of the orignal manual) and sticker sheet. AFAIK, only Shockwave comes with the reproducion G1 Rodimus era Catalogue. Gold

No problem Mojakco. Oh I forgot to add the KO Minibots. So far those are the most okay, especially if you need Beachcomber,Hubcap and Seaspray to complete the minibot team. Gold

I'm not 100% sure but there's always a chance, but so far the Encore lineup announced is Skids, the cassettes Rumble, Frenzy, Overkill and Laserbeak.

mojacko, try pming Malvin "greattoys" Lim. He might have a KO Dev. As for the rumored Encore of the D man, who knows, anything is possible. I'll get one too and hopefully it won't be very messy as Onslaught was. Btw, I'm seeing a pattern, two months interval prior to release and at times two figure releases...............first was Ratchet and Ironhide, Trailbreaker and Hoist, Vs cassettes (I think that was a solo release) then Bruticus and the Vs cassettes. Now Skids well the other Skids. So maybe just maybe the Destron cassttes and another "partner"?
