What particular IFPI numbers you found on those CD's? Can you provide an example? Thank you beforehand.Quote

I have an answer to my previous post: Following all the recommendations about ebay sellers I purchased a "Made in the USA" box. When it arrived I noticed glue on the outside of CD covers, poor quality colors, etc. Searched the molded IFPI number and all the sites that came up were in Chinese characters. FAKE!! The seller claimed he did not realize that fakes existed and allowed a return for refund.
The box was different from the legitimate ones I have seen online. The individual CD's only fit in the box if they were loaded nose down where the legitimate ones are pictured loaded horizontally.

It's currently for sale for 175 Euros which is a great price.
Not for LP sets. Chinese counterfeits were reported for 15 CD boxes.Quote

Yeah, I saw that. Looks good indeed. But there was a warning here earlier about counterfeits.

I guess once the deal ends it'll be a case of 'you're out of time my baby'.

You'll need to hurry as this will probably only last today if that. It's on Amazon France

So, guys, did anybody get fake Chinese box? What is inside? Can anybody provide matrix numbers for the CD's and details of packaging?

Haven´t received it yet. I guess you´ll either hear screams of agony or joy when they arrive. I got mine real cheap, so I hope for the real stuff but expect the worst Guess Amazon sells the real stuff though.

Sooooooooo....not to open up a can of worms, but.......
In reading page after page about the Mono box, it seems there is quite a mixed reaction to the set. Not so much from a musical standpoint but from a packaging one.
I really really really want to get this set, preferably the US edition (price-wise) but from what I gather the album reproductions are best on the $300+ Japanese edition. Ugh. really? Is the U.S. edition that bad?
It seems there was some speculation about these albums eventually coming out individually. Maybe one could hope the packaging will be better then?
What does the jury of my iorr.org family (peers) think I should do. I suppose the obvious answer is BUY IT. But seriously, enough people have bought it now on this forum. I trust you guys more than Amazon reviews. Thanks in advance.
sincerely,
Flood on the Page
