Fake steelbooks

[NipRing]

Well, I placed an order with FantasyBox this morning. I bought that black mask Friday the 13th case as well as a Tomb Raider (2013) case. I paid by CC and I’m going to call my CC company and just ask for a new card right away. Just in case. Anyway they were 10% off totaling about $120 with shipping. And supposedly by paying with CC they’re going to throw in a random free steelbook, as well as a 20% off code for a future order. I open my steels so I’ll take picks and such and post them up when I get them. I already got an email this afternoon saying they were shipped. We’ll see what happens.

Do you expect that we appreciate that or why do you inform us about that?

I think the vast majority of the forums are totally against those fake steelbooks and won't buy them on ebay or order them because they don't want to support that kind of plagiarism.

But did he ordered a custom or a fake?
I wouldnt buy it neither, but i cant judge him if he buys the custom ones they have.

I see no difference about that because they used the same design like Scanavo for their cases instead of using another design like metalpak or futurepak that people can see clearly the difference and that is pure plagiarism.

LOL
So if they make fake Future Packs is ok but Steelbooks is not?
Why? Because you collect one and not the others?
Funny
And Custom work as long as properly marked as custom is not plagiarism

Yeah, I don’t see difference between custom/fake. They are all fake because they are not licensed and they are not made by Scanvo.

You do not see, but many here do see a difference, myself included.
I have bought CUSTOM made steelbooks from other people before and will probably buy again.
I dont buy anything of these guys (Custom or not), but i will not condemn anyone that buys their CUSTOM work.

Where do you read that I wrote it is okay if they will make fake Future Packs, it wouldn't be also okay if they will do that.

They use the exact same design for their cases as Scanavo they copy it and make profit with that and that is plagiarism.

Otherwise they would use a different design.

My bad, i misread what you posted.
Anyway, doesnt change my position.
I do not buy anything (custom or fake) from them, but, I do not condemn him for buying the custom ones.

I understand that you mean custom when talking about ones with unique design. But they are still unofficial fakes. Both scanvo and futurepack pay licensing fees to use artworks from the games and Fantasybox does not.

Like i said, i do not buy any from them, but i wont condem who buys the custom ones.
