This is a really good video. I just went through this experience. I unknowingly bought a bootleg set from eBay, but it pretty much had all the issues you described. I got my refund, but it's so fuckin' pathetic that people try to profit off of fake shit. Can't wait to buy the real thing from Amazon.
Thanks for sharing this with everyone. It was someone like you who showed me what to look for and helped keep me from buying a bootleg Dragon Ball blue brick set. Sucks you got scammed but I was glad to read in the comments that you at least got your money back. I've found that one of the telltale signs of a bootleg seller is if they seem to have a large quantity of brand new copies of an out of print item, especially if it's going for almost the same as the original retail price. There's one seller on ebay now for this set that claims to have sold like 50 of them and it's the same price Amazon sold it for (if I remember correctly), but a closer look at the pics and I can see the darker yellow in the titles and darker colours in general and even though the only shot of the front is from an angle you can see the cardboard wraparound on the seasons doesn't quite line up properly when you look for it. I have to admit though, whoever made the one you got put a fair bit of effort into it for a bootleg. If the discs actually played properly I'm sure most people would never notice.
Cool video! It's nice that someone's warning others, fortunately I got mine from Amazon and it was a great deal for all the seasons. Did you manage to get your money back from eBay eventually?
Thanks for the video just verified that mine were real. Problem with mine is that the Blu-ray cases are wrinkled. It’s kind of annoying but it is what it is I guess. Debating on returning them but I know all the discs work at least.
I wish I held out for the 4;3 set they're selling now, it doesn't come boxed together but I prefer that format. Maybe someday I'll trade my blurays out and get money for them.
Thank you, I am thinking of buying on of these off ebay, the seller claims they bought em from Amazon originally. Did you get a refund for the bootlegs?
Damn u must have decent amount of money to buy it twice right after each other:P i usually can only buy 1 boxset amonth if im lucky :( - sux u got a fake one did u send it back ?i would dont pay the same amount for a fake! And report the guy he prob knew for sure trying to score money, hopefully u got it sorted out already
Hi I bought full blu ray box set bootlegs off a reputable website. Saw your video and they're exact same packaging discrepancies and purple burnt blu rays. However I have a question. I bought real set off amazon, correct packaging and wrapped discs. But the quality isn't great for a remastered blu ray? Was expecting alot better, is this the normal perspective on this? Also I have no special features that I can find? Any ideas.
I just bought the dragon boxes and pre ordered the dbs steelbooks so I’ve been researching. After watching this, what I thought was my official release turns out to be a bootleg. Dbza is a more official release. Bummer. I’ve been watching the bootlegs and they’re pretty good fakes. Still gonna have to get around to replacing them though :/
@@StrandedJay the stress and anxiety from it is making me want to throw up. Police can't do anything and even tho he deserves it smashing his face in will only get me put in jail.
Hi ,as I was watching this video really dont care about what you are talking about this DBZ blu ray boxset. So I was just wondering what you remind to me from your looks. And now actualy I know, You look exactly like Ed Sheeran. You are his twin brother or something else.😄 So now I know that You and Ed Sheeran have the same bloodline you are his brother, and bouth love use to watch Dragon Ball Z. 😄 Your voice sounds like Ed Sheeran's as well. So go ahead and record more songs. 😄👍 🎤🎹🎸📻🎧

Yes I was. Took a few weeks, but it worked out

The bootleg u got is probably still 1080p so the quality might look identical to the real one,try and get ur money back tho dont let thiefs rip u off
Thankyou for your reply I still dunno what's what with these.

this it work on u.s plat forms
I’m sorry can u explain to me what a bootleg is because I never understood what that meant like is the content inside the same?
It is a fake, not official, usually inferior copy.
Are you Australian? They're still selling these on amazon au
i got scammed too. i demanded a refund and threatened the seller i would sue. he gave me a refund after..
i didnt send the item back i told the seller i wont send it back. why did you send it back? the bootleg seller should pay for return shipping.
I didn't. Still have them
@@StrandedJay okay thats good then.
I just bought the bootleg set last night, I wish I knew what to look for sooner.
Ah man. I'm sorry.

@@Wolverine1987 It's not worth all that. Its just a box set my dude
@@StrandedJay $135 isn't a small amount of money to lose either
@@Wolverine1987 where did you order it from? Let your bank know, or reach out to the seller.
