Off topic is the best topic.
First, I didn't know that there was a "real" Odin when I got my knock off, I just heard about these magic "side winder" loaders, and ordered by cheapest on eBay. Brand recognition and marketing is Odin's to buy, or not.
Second, well, yes, I am too cheap to pay £50 for an Odin loader. Really, no way, no how. Odin wasn't getting my money anyway.
Likewise, TM didn't lose out because I bought a CYMA. If the cheapest toy gnus were £400, I'd never have got into this hobby in the first place.
