Fake release on eBay?

I just came across this on eBay:
http://r.ebay.com/tjd9i3
The seller claims it's a brand new item in factory shrink but as far as I know this was never released (I have around 40 different Sucker Punch releases on my shelf).
It looks to me like he's put a lenticular from cudzndrips.com on the front and then resealed it.
What do you guys think?

It's def not a legit retailer product. @apsmith21 talked about them in some other thread before. How the studios would probably get upset that they were selling this if they ever found out, or something to that effect...

What that person is doing is illegal. They are resealing a steelbook with a added lenticular and calling it a lenticular edition which it is not.

Reported the item but I doubt it will make any difference. If you check their other listings they're selling quite a few steels as "rare lenticular" versions for silly prices.

Going by the fact that they can seal the steels with the magnets attached I'd be very dubious about any of their "new and sealed" steels actually being new and sealed.

If you look at this Deadpool listing of theirs there is what looks like a promo pic of the film. With Deadpool, a hand drawn pic of cable and Olivia Wildes character from Tron Legacy on it :)

You can tell from the photos that the lenticulars are piss poor quality with lots of bleed through from the separate images! He's obviously tried to photograph each image separate but can't! I've photographed lots of high quality lenticulars for my Twitter account etc etc and they are an absolute pleasure to photograph! Each image bold and clear with no bleed through.
 
i reported him 2 months ago when he was doing the same thing with Deadpool. nothing happened

Ring the Police. (Here in the UK at least) they are VERY interested in scams and fakery - and it will give them a chance to raid Ebay's offices (I believe they have been raided both sides of the pond actually) - Again !!! - LOL

addendum: Just noticed, they are trying to claim copyright of the photographs which are of another company's products i.e. the Zavvi released Top Gun - Non che credo - Jokers!!

In my experience ebay customer support is run by a team of minimum wage monkeys that really don't care about stuff like this. I even tried to report someone that was trying to arrange payment outside of ebay. Even though it would have lost them revenue they didn't seem interested :rolleyes:. It's almost like " I don't own ebay, I just work here so why should I care"...

This one would be easy for studios to block him. I wish wreck could write a little letter and show that this person is doing basically what HDN did but they got permision to do so from the studio. This is being sold as new and they even made their own J-card. Its getting outtta hand here. This person is a criminal and should be treated like one. Ebay will do nothing I bet.

See the sticker ;)
He can not even print a proper one for on the foil
 
Well at least he isn't using any of mine ;)

I've had a delivery of loads of those flips sent to me by mistake and they are BAD no thought at all to the usage of images so I wonder if he gets any repeat buyers :hilarious:
