I think the fakes are getting better. I bought a Darkus B2 Serpenoid 550g off eBay, never thinking it would be phony seeing as the G-Power's so low. But there were several problems with it once I got it; the first being the color purple the accents were in, an almost grayish-purple that in all 90 different Darkus I own I've never seen. Next, this one actually has a FAKE FACTORY CODE. IIRC the code is supposed to refer to a production date, unless I'm reading it wrong "00125" simply can't be a date. Furthermore, the letters are MPG, the G was only added to the B3 series and forward, and since this is not a GI or a B3 it cannot be a legit code. In short, just because it has a code, that doesn't make it real.
Yes, I think you may be onto something DB..I bought two exact packaging and UPC Bakusteel Pyrus Hades and guess what ?! The springs inside were different and the plastic mold was SLIGHTLY different and these were definitely TWO different versions of the same thing. This makes no sense ? Why would SpinMaster produce TWO different versions of the EXACT same UPC and part # Bakugan !? Both has S/S/B but it looks DIFFERENT on each one. Also, one has the MPG factory code which is TOTALLY different than the other factory stamp font and code.Funny, thing is I bought BOTH of these sealed from TRU shelves this way. I also bought TWO Bakusteel Mega Nemus Haos and AGAIN, I have TWO different plastic molded versions, each slightly different in the markings, plastic molding, and painting but both with EXACT same UPC and spinmaster part #. Again packaging is very SLIGHTLY lighter coloring likely due to ADVANCED replication, and once more, one of them had the MPG factory stamp and code. :-I really got to come right out and say it then after gathering all the facts, I suspect someone is slipping HIGH QUALITY FAKE Bakugan into the distributor supply chain !! And I am talking almost EXACT packaging except a tiny bit lighter colors(blue etc) due to it being a reproduction. CONSPIRACY THEORY ENGAGE !!!!THIS COULD BE FAKE BAKUGAN FIASCO, THE TRILOGY !
