    There might be a slight chance that the person is just kidding, maybe?

    I guess I need to learn to read every B**tle thread from front to back. :)

    The people who have bought from me at least have the courtesy to flip on Ebay and Discogs. Not quite as obvious except for the name similarity.

    I got my cheap Beatles box today. Thanks to those who posted about this. Strange that The outline around the artwork on the front of the box seems to be a little crooked. But everything else seems to be legit.

    My new box is that way, but my release day box is not, the outline is perfect. Had me a little worried, but the inside looked fine when comparing to my release day set.

    Come on, guys. Once again, you are buying this direct from the largest legit music distributor in the US. They deal directly with all the labels, including Universal. If there's one distributor you are least likely to get a counterfeit from, it's them.

    Even Amazon is less of a surety, now that they have started to commingle their inventory again.

    I totally understand the skepticism here - I certainly had my doubts - but there's no question these sets are real.

    Unless they started off with real sets and then went to fakes, but that seems more than a little unlikely.

    I directly compared the set I bought in 2009 to the 2016 purchase and they couldn't have been more identical!

    Plus the fact that these come in very thick, sturdy plastic shrinkwrap, that is something I don't see bootleggers using, they usually use thin, crappy shrinkwrap.
    There is also a chance these are slightly irregular (the box printing off-centering, etc,), per se, so they are trying to sell them on the cheap.

    I still don't believe - send me that set and I'll inspect it myself. I'll send it back - someday... ;)

    Just like the one I received, yes the square is a little off Center but who cares, for less than 50 bucks shipped its fine, just call it slightly irregular!
    did yours have the heavy thick plastic shrink wrap?

    Yes, the plastic shrink is thick. @kwadguy has stated it many times, this is the real deal.

    How familiar are you with this seller? Looking at the pictures I would think it's a Chinese counterfeit. Comments mention missing discs, booklets and defective CD's. The sleeve in the picture below looks like it's too thin a plastic for the real set.

    Not familiar at all; that's why I said they do seem fake. Who knows.

    MMT book should be attached inside the gatefold plus look at that cd inner sleeve. Looks like a condom!

    Apparently the site is appropriately named "Wish" for self explanatory reasons...

    Perfect justification to post this info, in this thread. I'd hate any member here to buy into this scam unknowingly.
