I think I've just had a very lucky escape!! I just saw this POP Carue on Ebay come up in the last 4 hours for $160 and thought I was dreaming (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270962332952). Needless to say I proceeded to buy it, however, before checking out I just thought i'd better check whether a Bootleg Carue existed and what to look out for. As I was looking I stumbled across this article:

Bootleg Carue
Notice the similarities?!? A very lucky escape indeed!!
I havent been sleeping very well lately, maybe its just my eyes, but hell…....is that really bootleg carue? or just some leftover from China?
I can't tell the difference between the original and the bootleg.
And what's the similarities? no sticker, there's the same scratch on upper corner?
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
After a looong time I finally got the chance of getting an apartment! Moving ALL this things from my parents' place was really tiring but it was worthty after all! :)
It looks much bigger than expected! Almost my complete anime (mostly OP and DBZ) and videogame collection is there (I guess around 95%), including some DC/Marvel Hot Toys and action figures, MOTU Classics and some extras…
Now... to design a cabinet that will hold all of this!!! :)
Oh, the tuppers in the floor are crowded with gashapons mostly!!

You're going to make your own cabinet? That'll be cool.
Im sure you'll have so much fun re-arranging all the figures.
