It would be easy to make wallet/football today, but that hat is *not* easy to fake. It seems pretty hard to make a bootleg hat like that.
Tobias edition TV Sports Football with a Turbob football replica?

Maybe less crowd appeal it but makes about 1000% times more sense than Dracula X and an energy drink...

Jajajjajjajajaja! Exactly, the energy drink was just crazy.

I'm still curious if anyone opened their's.  I'm pretty sure it's an awful concoction, but it'd be hilarious if it was the best energy drink you'd ever consume but then you had to get more.  After nearly bankrupting yourself buying Dracula X special editions, Tobias would run out of energy drinks.  There would be no way to get more legitimately; you'd go mad searching the web but you'd know that never again would you be able to satiate your thirst.  Only one path would remain open to you; you'd hunt down and murder all the collectards who proudly purchased a Tobias set by stalking their facebooks. 

Was it worth it?  Of course; even for just one more drop the quest would be worth it.  Every innocent Youtube Collectard you slew would yield 4 more cans.  You'd have a stats sheet where you'd count out how many persons you killed until, at last, the final purchaser of the Dracula X boxed set was found.  Then, lying in a pile of Dracula X energy drinks and bootleg CDs, you'd pass on.  A trail of energy drink dribbling out of the corner of your mouth with a smile on your face.  You drank them all.  You drank them all.

It's probably just dirty bathwater put into old recycled bottles with his labels on it.

That seems like too much effort!

Ha!

I've read articles about that but I refuse to believe it's really a thing.  With that said, I think I said the same thing about anti-vaxers and flat earthers.  Flat earthers are the dumbest people I've ever heard of.

I'm in this real awkward position where I'm thankful I have those $5 tobias bootlegs, but I'm also embarassed to own them.

Though I wish someone who hadn't either lied about authenticity or profited from fan translations without asking (or both of these things) was making them, I'm happy to have gotten some cheap reproductions of otherwise stupidly expensive games.

Yeah, if anyone else was making repros I'd likely be happy to buy the rest of the CD games that I'm missing yet unwilling to purchase at going rates but the ones I got from Bernie et all are quite serviceable.

I'm not super up to date on my TG-16 game rarity, but is there something in this lot that is super rare?!
