Chinese "remakes"

Has anyone had much experience with the knock-off combiners that keep cropping up, i've been tempted to grab some of them from time to time but never got around to doing it?

also, has anyone got any of the knockoff mini combiners?
the mini devestator looks cool!

Those world smallest size combiners are cool. Cant imagine them being of the highest quality though. The real world smallest arent of high quality either so if the price is right.

Word of advice:

-The large combiners are made of utter crappy plastic. I have Raiden and Devastator, and the individual robots look like crap. Combined, they can stand - barely. The real use of them is the combining parts and guns - they can be used with real G1 Tfs. I bought Dev. for 7$, which is about as much as a single Dev combining part would cost... 8)

-The small combiners are great! I mean, they are made of better quality plastic, and they are actually quite tight. I have only Bruticus so far, he's really cool - about 2/3 the size of the real one. There is one problem - they are so tight, you have to be extra careful when transforming them. I heard people break theirs easily. Me, I transformed them a hundred times and they still are in a great shape.

If anyone has any of the mini-combiners, I'd gladly buy them!
