Bootlegs, Anyone?

Posted by EXkurogane [www] 

Went to a mall near my home to watch a movie at the cinema. Actually I've visited this shop many times - sells magazines, but they do have some toys and gashapons as well. I have mentioned before in comment posts that bootlegs are common at my place. There you go, with sample photos below. I had to be careful when snapping photos, so that i don't get many questions from the shop owner, out of curiosity. ^^; Anyone interested??? LOL...

      They are not nervous - curious. You know, there are many Malaysians who knows nothing about bloggers and the internet community, and not tech-savvy, especially blue-collar class of working adults (non-professional ones such as vendors, hawkers etc). It might be common to see someone strolling around shooting pics of everything to us, but not them. I just wanna avoid them from asking me lots of questions out of curiosity... ^^;

      LOL the problem is that Malaysia's authorities do nothing about bootleg toys (because they cant even differentiate them), and the fact most kids'toys are made in China. However they come down pretty hard on pirated discs though, and bootlegs of branded garments.

    Is it JUSCO ? Look familiar to me. Come on, If you hate bootleg just ignores it and get the original, since nothing we can do to stop this, unless china falls, if not, still will be so much bootleg came out.

    yup, malaysia is indeed fill with bootlegs. out of 10 decent shops, there is only 2 selling non bootleg in my area, and i haven't include those cheap shops and stalls. feel sad for those who don't know how to differentiate original and bootleg, they're supporting bootlegs without knowing it.

    Fake gundam, rather, fake everything is running rampant where I used to live. The Philippines is notorious for selling a lot of fake things.
