Looks like Big Boss is going to some ghetto party, hosted by Lady Gaga

Didn't Big Boss had parts of Liquid and Solidus grafted to him? I forgot. Man, they must be pissed.

Anyway, does anybody know how to tell a bootleg MGS2 Yamato apart? I tried MetalGearJD but nobody cares since I'm just a poor collector who isn't worthy to be in the club.

yeah, the real one is blue the fake is grey.

Grey? As in washed out Jason?

Here are the pics.

I knew I could count on your eagle eye Jason! Thanks so much buddy!

As for the 2nd head, I think he has it, but regardless he's selling the whole set for $50. I think I'll get it unless anyone else thinks it's a bootleg.

I think they're fake. Pliskin, Olga and Solid Snake look very suspicious. I'll try to find the article that explained the differences.

Maybe it's the lighting, I don't know. Do you happen to own the set, Solidus? I tried MGJD but to no avail.

And thanks Solidus for your help.

Some do look like bootlegs man. Is this the lowyat listing? Wasn't the seller selling the set for $70-80? $50 is a steal!

Yes, it's on LYN. Sorry, my bad- he's asking RM230 ($70) for all 14. What do you think? Should I?

Ugh... I think the article was from DieSnake.com, and ViolentSnake uploaded a bunch of photos detailing the differences between the bootlegs. I have the old site data saved on my one of my old hard-drives, but I won't be able to get it to you until tomorrow.

I know that Plisken isn't supposed to have a huge grin like that on his face. Also, Solid Snake's gun might be pointed in the wrong direction (I might be wrong on that, though).

But, nah, I never collected them . They were always way too expensive. Man... I haven't been on MGSJD in a very long time.

I was just about to ask you about that DieSnake article, I know I've read it before. Too bad nobody archived it. Ughh.

Would you go for it at $70 if you're in doubt, Solidus?

P/s: I really don't wanna be at MGJD as much as you do but I had to log in last night just for this.

Hmmm..the price is too good! However I would suggest to wait till you find out whether they are original or bootlegs.

I guess so. He just sent me a PM if I'm still interested. Bootleg or not, you're right- the price IS too good. Oh man, what a dilemma.

I see that the Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeros iDROID Style iPhone Case is up for pre-order at LINK

Don't think that they are going anywhere. Hasn't the listing been up for a while now?

For anyone who's interested in the MGS Legacy Collection, Play-Asia has it for $59.90. I know it's gotten really expensive, lately. This is probably the cheapest you'll find it for a new copy:

I'm very frugal with my spending, so if I'm in doubt, no!

I really miss DieSnake. JD is trying to be the same thing, and I know several of the old DS members are there, but it just doesn't feel the same. Not to name names, but there are some really hardcore collectors that are too "in your face" and braggadocios for my liking. That Hideo_Kojima_Italia guy is the biggest one.

I think I may have to pick that up, just for a display piece .

I wasn't aware of that. Considering you no longer have any interests there, I'm surprised you are!

I'm looking for a HT The Boss as well but nobody's selling one there.

Oh boy, I remember Hideo_Kojima_Italia, Thanks for the unpleasant memories man! It's like being in high school again.

Not sure if I fancy the iPhone case. None of the tech in MGSV intrigues me as of Ground Zeroes.

Haha I checked the forum yesterday to see if anyone was selling the play arts kai GZ Metallic big boss. I wanted to know how much they go for in Malaysia. Like I told u, I am planning to import a few pieces to sell.

I will look around for the boss for u. What is your budget like for her? I will ask my friends in HK and japan.
