Re: Fake steelbooks
Same here in Germany, seems that there are more on ebay every day.
The only good thing about this is, that due to so much of these all the resellers have to cut their prices and hopefully people won't spend too much money on the Fantasyboxes by thinking those are genuine steelbooks.
Tbh, I really like some of their designs, although I think their prices are too high.
But as many of you stated: copying the designs of already released steelbooks to rip people off is a clear no-go.
It also makes "the hunt", something which I always enjoy as a collector, for rare steelbooks - like Bloodborne Sawcleaver, Titanfall 2 or TLoU Remastered - obsolete as it's now possible to simply buy those designs. It's nothing special anymore.
For me, "hunting" rare steelbooks always was part of the whole collecting process.
Will be interesting if these will either disappear someday, because of some pressure from Scanavo, or if we somehow have to accept them. I highly doubt that they will stop making them on their own as there clearly seems to be a market for those boxes.
