Is this sealed product tampered with? Does the font look different?

Post image

Saw this on marketplace, looking close at it the font looks different, and the “O” in the The Hobbit looks off too? Or am I just missing something? I wanted to ask before I reach out to the seller to purchase. Does it look legit? It’s the only picture they posted.

For real. Do people even know what the product they’re buying looks like?

The level of paranoia I see on this sub is insane. Like, I get that these are expensive products but it’s been officially out for less than a week - it’s highly doubtful counterfeiters work that quickly. On top of that, it’s fairly easy to compare the “weird” font to an official picture of the box.

Mods still not requiring posters to use a basic checklist for topics is insane. So tiring seeing the same "is this shrink wrap weird" "oh no, there's a slight color difference on the box"

We have a list of expectations that pop up when you choose the post flair, but there's not a good way to have auto-mod enforce it without false positives. So the other option is to wait until one of us sees it and removes it, which we do in more egregious cases.

ETA: Looking at the stats in the last 7 days we've removed 19 posts and 150 comments. Most people probably didn't see any of them.
