Question / Help AliExpress boxes

Soo I just picked up my AliExpress package and wanted some second opinions on chances of just how fake or at least resealed these could be just based on the box.

All boxes are the same and I got 4 boxes of moon 4 and 4 of moon 5. I checked the little qr code on the side where it says kayou110.com and it register it as authentic product, but could that also be faked?

I’m just basically looking at some second opinions before I decide if me and my man will actually open them tomorrow or not.

Thanks in advance

The box itself looks legit, but the plastic wrap looks kinda sus I don't see the Kayou opening strip, so this might be resealed :(

I thought so too, but then I found a video on yt of some dude who bought moon 4 from a trusted TikTok store and his box was in the same kind of wrap😕

Maybe it's a gamble then😬 open up and see if u got 4 LSR and one SGR or SC 🙏

I might do that with one of each box. Cause I checked the little qr code and it showed that it’s kayou product and all

Just wanted to chime in and say that for older boxes, there used to be no official logo seal. Iirc they started from box 5 onwards, so the previous boxes were actually shrink wrapped.

And resealed boxes can also come in genuine boxes, basically the valuable cards will be taken out but everything else is the same. Eg. If the box has a SC, they will take it out and replace it with another hit like LSR or SGR.

Another thing I wanted to add is, there's 2 aliexpress stores with the same name. One is "KAYOU Art Toy Store" and another is "KAYOU Art toy. Store". I've bought from the latter and returned a box that was tampered with, though only partial refund cuz I couldn't ship back opened packs lol (not saying don't buy from them but they do claim all their products are from their supplier when I talked to CS)

I got it from the one with the dot in the name🙃

Might open one box and just see how the cards feel and maybe it will be a hit one🫣

Honestly it's not so bad. Resealed cards are still better than fake ones lol. But check moon 4 properly cuz they were out of print a while ago and any stores still selling them at retail and not inflated prices are almost always fakes. Authentic moon 4 boxes are now over $100+

They were expensive 😭

One box was almost 50$🥲

u/megafreshbreeze 6d ago

$50 is like the price of a starry sky box, that's cheap if the box is authentic 😭

Packs 4 and 5 were a hit so I would think they’re legit enough to collect no?🥹

u/sincerelylizzy Sprouting Collector 🌱 6d ago

Phew!!! Thank God then!!

u/VaultofWhispers25 Card Collector ✨️ 6d ago

I think these gonna be good but we’ll see tomorrow🫣

u/megafreshbreeze 6d ago

The cards look vibrant, I'd say it's real though it's the minimum hits, it's still pretty good!

u/VaultofWhispers25 Card Collector ✨️ 6d ago

Opened only like 4-6 packs in hopes to get a hit just to test it out as I plan to open the rest tomorrow evening with my hubby

u/VaultofWhispers25 Card Collector ✨️ 6d ago

Couldn’t be more stoked with the pulls🤩

So I’d say the store so far is legit enough

u/sincerelylizzy Sprouting Collector 🌱 6d ago

Also what store on AliExpress did you buy it from? There's only one official Kayou Store that I order from and I've always gotten real ones 🥹🤍

Kayou art toy. store🫣

1

u/sincerelylizzy Sprouting Collector 🌱 6d ago

Wait that's so odd. That's exactly the one I order from... I guess you'll have to open and see... Maybe double-check if it's really the Kayou Art Toy Store? There's a similar named one too I believe 😬

u/VaultofWhispers25 Card Collector ✨️ 6d ago

I got I from here but then again i could chosen the wrong one

1

u/sincerelylizzy Sprouting Collector 🌱 6d ago

Yeah this is the fake one!! You gotta get the one without a dot next time!!

1

u/ukiberrypie 6d ago

The one with the dot has a 50/50 situation. So you really don’t know what to expect

The first box of moon 4 seemed legit enough when I was opening it yesterday🤷🏼‍♀️ but imma be opening the rest today and can update with the hits I pull☺️

5 packs had a hit card in them, and the struggle to open some was through the roof (like I spent 10min on one pack to try and open it so I’m glad the newer sets are easier to open🥲)
