"Unofficial" and "Fake" SteelBooks/Scam tip thread

[lenochek04]

Hi All, I've renamed this thread, to allow anyone to post "fake" or "suspect" retailer or Ebay listings, so anyone can discuss/be warned. It allows traders to protect each other/discuss various listings that may or may not be authentic, officially supported Steelbook releases. -Digitalbabe.


From Lenocheck:
If any of you guys out there noticed a signed copy of Machete just sold on Ebay for over 200 dollars.
Was this an official steelbook or was this a FAKE ????
Would be interesting to read some of your opinions......as I thought it wasnt released yet.

The Wanted looks good i think but the blue banner of Rambo looks strange. It looks like a blue banner just lying on the steel + there is no Blu-ray written under the blue banner on the spine! Mine has Blu-ray written. And! The Sylvester Stallone writing left and write of the head of Rambo is missing!

see T-1000´s pics: https://www.hidefninja.com/community/threads/1993/&highlight=john+rambo&page=5

I would be extremely cautious with that Rambo! It might just be a changed DVD Steel!
I wouldn´t buy from this guy! If Rambo is fake maybe Wanted is too but i don´t have it to compare!

Where is the first pic you posted? I remember seing a dvd logo on the front of rambo on the bottom right hand side. I want to see that one again.

That blu banner looks like it is paper. I think its fake.

slip,
Looking at the Rambo pics from T-1000 link posted by Zero, I am very confident it is fake. Besides the Sylvester Stallone name underneath the blu banner on the front cover, there is NO blu banner and red band table for the specs.

Run from this as fast and as far as you can.

The wanted looks like it is crushed on that corner.

Maybe he meant they smell like mints...

 

[Staind]

They are both NOT Factory selead !!!
Wanted Looks ok ....
But Rambo is a Fake !!! Look at the back, the Red lined info box is missing...beware.
Maybe its a Mix of the Amazon and the MediaMarkt Steel !!!

Nice if we were able to help you!

 

[leelee17]

the one thing that never ceases to amaze me every time i see the machete signed steelbook is how bad it looks!!
it's almost as if they've gone out of their way to make it look as fake as possible!!!!

That Rambo one is so fake. First of all the backcover indeed. And he used a cutted cardboard slipcase to make the Blu-ray banner.
