Although I do not know what does Good Smile does with their rejected products but selling them at a lower price sounds like the AS-IS at Ikea.

If you look closely, besides the different face, you can tell that the paint is different and parts of the clothes are different.

Look at the tie, the 2 black things...

I do not even see that as complaining, more like insulting. Sorry if there is something I am missing out here, or perhaps my inadequacy at the English language meant that I cannot differentiate between the two terms. I apologize.

If you are complaining that he should be keeping this to himself because it is a small matter, I have to agree to disagree with you. Selling fake things is never a small matter, when it is expected to check its goods actively to make sure that the customer buys exactly what he or she wants. I do not think he is defaming the shop by calling it a fake good shop. I am quite sure that many have noted the reputation of the shop as one of good standing. It is clearly the action that is the issue, not the shop. I think people have to grasp the main idea rather than the inconsequential details of his post.

I do agree with you wholeheartedly that BM should pick this up personally with the company for further discussions. With that, I rest my case since the conflict has been significantly resolved by some active discussions.
This i agree as well , TS has the right intention , but just using wrong phrasing and methods ... Talk to the shopkeeper , he's like the oldest person in tat shop , almost always there ... I still maintain a good impression on tat shop as a shop tat deserves cookies for good service ... Boycotting won't help much , in fact , i'm sure many peeps would be upset if PiTB folded ...

Thank you for explaining my overly verbose statement in a succinct manner.

The actual difference(box only) after comparing is the color of the frame around the see thru plastic.



I never said it's a cheap trill or trying to start a dorama here. I'm just amazed at how much of the people here thinks it's ok to sell bootleg products as long as you don't buy them. Buying them means customer's fault for not checking and not the seller's fault for selling them.
I already admitted is my mistake on my blog post, surprisingly many here do not know how to read and one retard with a SG IP actually left an epic comment at the post too.
It is not that people approve of bootlegged items but rather how they believe you have blown this out of proportion thus taking on hostility. This led to the thread itself blowing out of proportion.

People just need to calm down and look at the issue with a level head.

1stly I've never seen the actual Miku before therefore I can't actually tell the difference when I checked it at EOY. That's one reason I bought one more to compare.

Anyway was informed that people from pitb read this thread already. Hopefully there won't be another bootlegs goods from them.
