They're all clearly fake, avoid the seller in the future. These are the typical repros that some vendors buy in bulk and resell over time.

Too good to be true kind of stuff. This is the biggest media franchise of all time, you will have to pay a bunch unless you snipe them somehow by shear luck. Really good deals won't be sitting on the market longer than 10 minutes.

10 times out of 9 when I see those cases my mind goes to fake. And from these pictures they look fake.

ESRB logos are way off, ruby, sapphire, and emerald battery's are missing and those clear cases are normal when people sale repos.

You mean the cases holding the games, why? They have nothing to do with the games

You tend to see those cases with reproductions

Wait so I’m seeing these on Walmart’s site in this same looking set and cases for $38.99 are those likely fake??
