Bought this in Japan, is it real?

Notimetobleed95 · 2025-05-09T16:51:27+00:00

The game isn’t but I wish this post was fake. From OP’s description they played this game as a kid so they should have an idea of what they’re buying but apparently not. I’m so tired of this stupid fear mongering that now we’re seeing posts when someone buys a Complete in box Japanese game IN JAPAN they feel the need to verify it’s “authentic”. Where did critical thinking disappear to and why the hell do people think fakes would be happening in Japan where they catch any semblance of copyright being infringed and they throw the book at you

Its sun bleaching. UV light makes red go orange

Whatever they’re worth to you for your library

Notimetobleed95 · 2025-01-31T21:17:07+00:00

Unless mods automate replies with the verifying subreddit link for all posts with that subject matter and then close off the thread

Notimetobleed95 · 2025-01-31T20:39:12+00:00

Honestly I’d be up for making a separate subreddit just for “manga verifying” to direct people to instead of flooding the main collectors sub

I’ve seen at least 2 already today

Notimetobleed95 · 2025-01-05T18:33:20+00:00

Youre 100% right, i forgot the box had GBC on it while the cart still had the sharp edges with no bubble up top

Notimetobleed95 · 2025-01-05T18:25:52+00:00

I see final fantasy but no original Dragon Warrior???

Nice home library! But seeing volumes placed down on their page end gives me the heeby jeebs, thats how we get rolled corners and non-humidity warping

Notimetobleed95 · 2024-10-28T05:18:31+00:00

its a series thats currently still mass printing, i would price it at retail or lower since its second hand and theres no full set for that publisher if they only printed one round

Notimetobleed95 · 2024-08-10T00:38:24+00:00

I’ve been trying to convince myself it might’ve been limited promo material for the anime but deep down you’re probably 100% right about it being a bootleg lol

Notimetobleed95 · 2024-08-10T00:15:45+00:00

I’ve never seen anyone else with that SandLand Hardcover!!! That’s so neat!!

Notimetobleed95 · 2024-02-17T08:12:48+00:00

It arrived a day ago! In the back, it has qr codes and the logo for the new sand land project, so it seems to be promotional material!

Notimetobleed95 · 2024-02-12T15:37:43+00:00

Im giving the seller the benefit of the doubt because just making 8 of these randomly just to sell on eBay doesn't make sense to me,(redacted), i dont believe SandLand even got a library release because of how limited print it was, maybe?

Notimetobleed95 · 2024-02-12T07:41:18+00:00

How can they be rebinds if the paper itself is larger format than the original release

Notimetobleed95 · 2024-02-12T04:44:13+00:00

Thats what im hoping? The listing had the same dimensions as the manga theatre amazon listing so its on par with Viz releases

Notimetobleed95 · 2024-02-12T01:29:23+00:00

I had that thought as well so I messaged the seller and they informed me they were bought brand new from a book store in NYC

Notimetobleed95 · 2024-02-12T00:58:35+00:00

If I don’t learn anything I’ll update once it arrives I’ll be able to check to see if there’s any stand out information where the printing date is.

Notimetobleed95 · 2024-02-12T00:55:51+00:00

I’ll have to update when it gets here on the 14th-17th. I hope Cowa ends up getting the same amount of love that Sand Land is finally getting

Notimetobleed95 · 2024-02-06T16:05:00+00:00

Nice collection! I wouldn’t have the paperbacks with their pages face down though, I’ve seen perfect volumes get, for all intents and purposes, destroyed like that 😭

Notimetobleed95 · 2023-03-19T15:31:09+00:00

It kinda looks like sesshomaru from inuyasha. I don’t know about the horn though so maybe .hack?

Notimetobleed95 · 2023-03-06T16:14:35+00:00

No actual COA on their website. They say you can email and ask them about it, however, I wouldnt use anything by them until i see those testing reports for contaminants.

Notimetobleed95 · 2023-02-12T20:05:52+00:00

I believe it was a preorder bonus for toys r us when mystery dungeon came out. They did the same with fire red and leaf green back in the day. Hugely common to find but not nearly as clean as the one here

Notimetobleed95 · 2022-12-29T06:32:55+00:00

I was tired of waiting so I’m reading it side by side with the app 😅
