Went shopping today and found this:

Two guys were selling bootleg Lego of everything from Friends to Minecraft and Marvel & DC and Star Wars. Including The Simpsons here.
Seeing all of that annoyed me so much I complained about it. Last year near Christmas, they were selling bootleg Monopoly.
No kid should be screwed over Christmas, all because their parents were suckers.
Australia has a BIG problem with bootleg merchandise. I'm a big toy and figure collector, and if it looks fishy. I don't buy it.
We had a Sydney convention every March and September called Animania. At the same place where they film our version of Master Chef.
It finally shut down for good last year for a lot of reasons: Selling bootleg Anime & Manga figures. Bootleg DVDs with only fan-made subtitles.
Yaoi manga just sitting there on a seller's counter instead of under it. Shitty organisation and a pain in the ass for anyone to get there.
Madman, our biggest anime distributor, stopped sponsoring it because those assholes kept selling that trash and never bothered to stop it.
Even the artist who run their Devianart & Tumblr galleries selling their prints there got fed up. So yeah, it got that bad.
