V-Pet Fake Spotting topic

[Toraneko]

We had this thread on the Net Ocean forums, would be good to have one here too.

Post URLs of Digivices on eBay which you think may be fake, and have everyone else give their opinion.

(BladeSabre edit) put your questions about fakes here now:

......?.... OK! I'll go first!

I suppose I just don't know whats up with the directions n alll.....

version?

 

[BladeSabre]

US version 2 (I think).

 

[Airdra]

Yeah, I think it's a Ver.2. It's kind of hard to see whether or not it's got the transparent grips, but I'm fairly certain white/solid black grips was never a color scheme they used for the Ver. 1 anyway.

 

[jfred]

Doesn't look transparent to me. It just looks like a plain white/black D3.

 

[BladeSabre]

It is transparent. And it has 2 arrows on the round button.

 

[Eimon]

The languages on the instructions (as well as the item's location) suggest it was distributed by Bandai Europe. From the size of the screen, I would have guessed it was the American one (from Bandai of Asia), but those (at least the one I had) only had one arrow on the round button. Did Bandai Europe make their own version of the D-3, like they did with the D-Power?

 

[BladeSabre]

The European and the US D-3's are the same. The version 2 has two arrows. I'm pretty sure it was released in the US also.

 

[Airdra]

I went ahead and stickied the topic.

As for the D-3, I don't have a US Ver. 2 so I can't confirm that. But there were never any transparent Ver. 1's...

 

[Toraneko]

I second what Airdra said. Plus, the phrase "D-3 Digivice" is printed on the instruction cover about 5-6 times, when the original only has it once... >_>;;

If you look really close, you'll notice it says "D-3 Digivice Instructions" in 5 different European languages.

*squint* Oh. I just woke up when I replied. XD;;;

 

[Kuronaruku]

It's real. I have one that looks just like it. You can chose Wormmon starting out and he gets the Digimental of Kindness.

Oh so you don't need the D-terminal to get all of the Digimentals.I already bought one.But oh well it's still good for a collection.

 

[BladeSabre]

The Japanese D-Terminal is used to get the other Digimentals on the Japanese D-3. The item discussed so far in this topic is a US/European D-3, which is quite different.

I believe there was something about anime_x back on DH, so before I save up and buy an ultimate D-Ark from him..

Has anybody ever ordered one from him?

 

[Airdra]

From what I remember from Net Ocean, you have a very high chance of getting a bootleg, shipping is slow, and communication isn't very good. XP

 

[bubz]

Haha okay, thanks. I thought so! Wataru, get another one in!!!! : (

 

[king0fheartZzZ]

Thats actually where I bought two of the three that I have. They were all good products, just takes a while to get to ya, and sometimes has terrible packaging.

 

[BladeSabre]

Anime X has sold some good items, but he's also sold some fakes, and is unwilling to make things right when the buyers complain. (I personally got a fake Ultimate D-Ark from him.) Wataru's stuff is cheaper anyway.
