Genuine/Good copies are awesome! This was a cheap copy. :-(

I received a cheap and poorly made copy from LilGift. The plastic was incredibly flimsy and the inner tube that the toilet paper sits on was a poorly/coarsely cut PVC pipe that was cracking.

LilGift is who sold me my original (though also fake) Paper Pot I am happy with, and it should be noted that they are not currently the seller of this item.

See below for my review of a REAL Paper Pot:

I purchased one that was a well-made knock off, and bought this for my mom. I purchased her two, and both appear to be genuine (the box says AI Collection, as does the bottom of the Paper Pot, and there is slight threading about the two pieces), meaning that I got her two at little more than the price of one at retail. That said, obviously some people have had issues, so be aware. Mine were sold and filled directly from Amazon. The genuine articles are indeed $40 and made of nice, thick plastic. Counterfeit ones are much flimsier (I received some white poorly made counterfeit ones). If that happens, CONTACT AMAZON! Counterfeit products are not allowed on Amazon, and I was offered a full refund. Also, "Me:It should perhaps be noted that apparently these items (having looked for them and reviewed them) have an issue with counterfeits being sold. The first one I bought a year ago was a counterfeit as well, though a well made one and I didn't realize it (and it was actually from the same seller, LilGift)
Ian: No problem, it's a great pleasure. I've forwarded this to the correct team internally. Thanks for your feedback and Thank You for contacting Amazon, and have an awesome day further."

On to the Paper Pot themselves. I used my to protect my toilet paper from my kitten (now cat) who likes to rip chunks out, and my mom uses these for tissue. Her space is only big enough for roughly the size of a square box, but you're wasting so much money not buying the large, rectangular box! It doesn't fit a full box at a time, and it's kind of a "duh," but the tissues need to be interlocking in the original box in order for them to work as intended in here. My mom is happy with it as a tissue box. As for toilet paper, I generally tear off and left an over hang of a few squares, and never experienced a rattling sound some others have mentioned. I don't pull the toilet paper any harder out of the paper out than I did off the roll. Yes, it now needs to come out the top of the Paper Pot, but there's not really additional resistance (it's still just a roll of TP on a rod, just covered, with the end coming out the top), just additional space. I never noticed any noise or anything bothersome. I found the Paper Pot to not only serve my unique cat needs, but I actually like it better. It forces me to be aware of how much toilet paper I'm actually using, and it's very cute.

My ultimate favorite stories - the Hobbit followed by LOTR. I had originally purchased this set in Nov-16, and hadn't opened the packaging (I have all the movies digitally also), but I had no issue with the package. I ended up gifting it to my friend. Hence, I ordered another copy two days ago, and I feel cheated! The packaging appears to be entirely different and cheaply made. I'm not even opening the pack. Just by looking it at it I knew already. This is not what was shipped to me in Nov. Sending this one back. Will be ordering it from elsewhere.

I am hereby advising any potential buyers to steer clear of this product, unless you 100% know what you're getting yourself into.

I was surprised to find out that there were so many copies of this floating around now (not to mention that it seems you can order it straight from Amazon,) but upon receiving the package in mail, I now realize why is that.

This new repress of this album is quite simply a pressed cd-r with crappy printed one-sided covers. Of course, I could try to pursue getting my money back, but I'm not about spending time to send cheap cd-r's back from Finland, so I gleefully shall swallow my loss and use this opportunity to notify any other hopefuls of what's happening here.

STRONGLY suspect this is a bootleg copy of the star trek movie. The package had the DVD w/ digital copy details "super glued" to one side of the package and the special addition 2nd DVD's holder was broken ...leaving the second DVD to flop around unceremoniously against the rest of the package. Still, for $3.98, can't complain TOO much--- you get what you pay for.

Unfortunately I purchase the cheapest of the four videos available and was disappointed in the quality that I received. It appeared to have been copied, or merely was just so old (1969) that it should have been marked as POOR QUALITY. I would not have purchased it. It was misrepresented by the seller, daisy899.

The only copy worth looking at would be the ORIGINAL in the ORIGINAL form.  This edition has been edited. Who would want to buy it?

Cheap fake, knock-off!
I wish I had read the other reviewers excellent review first. He posts pictures to show the ORIGINAL REAL Utili-Key and the fake.
Sure enough, I got the fakes. Got these for myself (I keep losing them) and to give as a gift. I'd be embarrassed to give this to anyone that I care about. Sure, it's shiny and a little sharp but I doubt it will last long and the micro screwdriver is useless  it's just a round nub. I can't believe that Amazon will allow this kind of fake piracy on their website and I will seriously consider any future purchases with them if this is the way they're going to do business!

Eh, it;'s a legit fake book. I;ve owned all the previous editions of this, and it burns me up that they don't just do supplements every so often rather than whole new editions,  so we just keep buying the same stuff with new additions. Especially now that it can be purchased in a digital format, surely Hal Leonard could consider a way to sell updates by subscription or in-book app purchases. It's the 21st century, folks, and even this child born in the mid 50's expects digital books to take advantage of what digital formats make possible! Also, it should be possible to export individual pages to use in display apps (like MusicSheets, etc.)  Yes, I can keep the whole digitized book on my tablet, but I;d like to be able to put my music in set order when I am doing a gig.

The copy I got had some very hard to avoid skips.  I was too lazy to return it though so its my own damn fault.  Hopefully it was just a bad press, and not a sign of a bigger problem.

Unlike others who have written a review of the MOVIE itself, I'm making mine a review of the VIDEO PRODUCT.  To me, a movie is far too subjective of a thing for a stranger's opinion to be of much value to me (IMHO of course). So anyway...... the reason that I'm only giving the video product a 3 star rating is that this particular copy of the film shows much degredation of quality due to this movie having fallen into the public domain for a time and many "copy of copies" were created. Regardless of the "digital remastered" claim, this seems to be one of those non-restored, non-redigitized varients that shows unstability, scratches, dark areas, and un-clear audio at times. I was hoping to get a cleaned-up/restored version but this unfortunately isn't it. I'm not complaining really, just saying this isn't a restored (or at least a well restored) versions. I hope this helps someone else.

screen printing looks like it was pulled from the reject pile, very cracked and 'aged', but rest of hoddie is in good shape - plastic wrap in came in appeared to have been repackaged by hand possibly not for the second or third time, made me assume it was pulled from a reject or return pile before being scrapped permanently

I got a couple of these - some of them weren't as close to new as I had thought they'd be - library pockets inside. But the condition was otherwise as promised. The color of the graphics was slightly off. It showed that this was a cheaper reprint, instead of an original version. But the price I paid was so dirt cheap that I have no room to complain.

This was a book i had and lost.... The copy I recieved was in an alrite condition. It wasn't new so i didn't expect it to be pristine. Not bad considering!!!

I'm quite sure this is a bootlegged copy and not an official DVD. The cover is obviously printed on a low quality printer. I have not checked the quality of the disk or whether it works yet but I would steer away from purchasing this.

I just got mine in the mail and I thought I was a bootleg or repackage of some kind. It doesn't even look legitimate. It looks like some one bought a generic case and pasted a melrose label on it then shrink covered it.
I still wonder if they are all like this or just from certain sellers.
I'm also very unhappy that the lowest prime price when I bought it was 13.49 and a day after I order it amazon offers one for 12.49 under prime. Very irritating considering what cheap junk the set is.
I loved the show in the 90's...it's ludicrous fun and isn't supposed to be realistic.
It was super fun to see the whole series again.

Not happy at all with the record they sent me. I thought it was the original in used condition but turned out to be a VERY cheap re-issue that sounds just terrible...not happy

Not sure why people on here are reviewing second guessing whether or not these are genuine copies. Ours was perfect, and appeared to be the real deal!
