Although I have to admit that their designs are nice and the quality of their cases is not bad (for those who do not know: I paid more than 100€ for a steelcase of which I thought it would be the original Titanfall 2 Steelbook. Only a few months later I found out it was the Fantasybox. Money wasted ...), I do not want to spend any money on their products as I do not want to support this.
Plus, even if I would consider buying their steelcases, it's simply too expensive as they're releasing so much new ones every month.

The fact that Scanavo is doing nothing about this was to be expected, but I have no idea what to do other than informing them.

Anyway, in case anyone of us can confirm that more Fantasyboxes will have the steelbook brand on their inlay, pls post here with links and photos. Hopefuly we can stay tuned of any new developments so that everyone of us is aware when buying steelcases.

I will give you a clue, not sure are you one of the instagram steelbook community, there is a instagram account named sksteelbook or whatever has some nasty relationwith fantsayBox, his cousin (the boss behind FantasyBox) is living in Germany, not sure wheher sk still has any business with his cousin now, but before he did ask me to sell him a brand new sealed "the last of us remastered steelbook", considering there are so many "FAKE" TLOU re steelbook flooding the market, I can't help to relate something together, maybe he was trying to learn something from that steelbook to make their fake steelbooks as real as possible?


BTW, it seems that they might have some business with a US based seller name game4you or whatever, but i am not sure.

And now there are so many fake steelbooks on DE ebay, they are hiring the "partner" to help them redistribute the fakes, it really pissed me off!!!

those fake steelbooks are destorying the collecting community.

WHAT A SHAME!
