Yes, the quality is amazing. They're like the real deal except for the material. At least they smell different. I could even imagine that they do some test runs with cheaper materials until the tooling is heated up or something. Like they do with prototypes and test samples.
It'll stay a mystery when and where those units are made. But I'm pretty certain that they use Hasbro's tooling in the factories where Hasbro have their products made. I think they just accept the fact that some units go missing during production so that they loose part of their charges like error samples.
I found this documentary on AliExpress by the
Wall Street Journal. I can wait 2-4 weeks with no hustle, never received a package from China within 72 hours. The German customs alone make this impossible. But it's amazing how far logistics on our planet has come so far.
I try not to order too much online and buy less in general. And I keep what I buy. Don't do returns like most people in my area do. Whenever I send a package, the people at the post office suppose it's a free return. Sad development.
