That's the hint, but not all.I live in Hong Kong, if I buy a Bakugan, with packaging, from USA on ebay and resell it, do you think that Bakugan is fake?Actually, the unrelease Bakugan that is sold by the US seller is directly from the real Bakugan factory in China.
Well, I wouldn't know what to think. If it was still in the original packaging and photographed as such, with the Spinmaster and Sega Toys logos from said packaging depicted in another image, I'd believe they were real.Unfortunately, many of them are "Loose, without cards" which is another sign.
Even they're with card or package, they still can be fake. I really received tons of fake cards when I bought a real Bakugan from mainland China and they look indeed real.
I even bought some fake series 1 Bakugan with packaging, you can't identify if it is real or not even you see in person after unpack it! Until you see a series 2 card inside or luckily you receive the Darkus Siege below, then you don't even need to open the package to determine it is fake:
As I have so many buying fakes experience, now I have my method to determine whether a Bakugan is fake or real. And I live in Hong Kong, I know there're real Bakugan released officially, of course I never use the place as a indicator.
