Funny how some manufacturers will blatently rip-off the Char-G name, but won't dare try to rip off the real auto manufacturers name. (Example: Hodna instead of Honda)

Someone posted a link to an article on msnbc.com that said that Tomy/Hobbico is waiting for some patents to get approved. After that happens, they will start going after the clone makers. I am a little concerned because without any competition from the clones, Hobbico has no competition to lower their inflated prices. I read in another thread that Target had MicroSizers on sale for $19.99, but they quickly sold out. At 19.99 for a genuine bit, it makes little sense to spend $15 for a clone. But if the clone prices drop some more, maybe we'll see microsizers for less $15.
I suppose prices will really drop after the initial craze wears off, actually that might happen tonight (Dec. 24th).
