The question is, do we want all Fantasyboxes to disappear?
As I said earlier, I do like some of their designs. Especially for games, which never got an official release of a steelbook. So we have at least some options to get steelcases for those games. And now that we know of those fake steelbooks, we hopefully can avoid them when buying steels on ebay etc.
On the other hand, I hate those fake ones with the same design as the original steelbooks and to me it's clear plagiarism.
What do you guys think about that?

I would like them to disappear, yes. If we don't have some integrity on this, they will get bigger, flood the market, devalue some original designs and put a soure note onto our hobby.
And I doubt scanavo can do something about it. Fantasybok is most likely from China, so they can do what ever they want.
As bitter as it may sound, but we collectors are the best bet this hobby has.
I for one am not going to buy from them. No matter how many people will do or how great their steels may look. I just move on, not looking back.
