These are pictures from a DVD-replica set (probably Asian) of Season 4 of LOST, the TV series.
The set mimics the original so well that Barnes and Noble's purchasing staff did not suspect it was a bootleg set, and B&N later sent out an alert to staff nationwide to watch out for sets, especially Season 4 with the slightly greenish-cast on the front Season number and -- once the set was opened -- seen as visibly affecting everything inside.
In the first two photos, I show the Season 1 set that I had bought earlier (from Barnes and Noble) against the Season 1 of the fake set bought from a reputable eBay seller who (like B&N) were fooled by the fake copy. In this case, the fake Season One has noticeably fuzzier cover color pictures with lack of contrast (I didn't open the fake set's Season One) on the front & back of the covers, with loss of detail of course. |
