Amiga counterfeiting items

Hey,

I just found these items and found them very strange. All by the same seller.

They look for me, counterfeiting ones.
Look the in box.
The stickers and disks of Sword Of Sodan look fake.
Same goes for the 1084 manual.

What do you think ?

There's a blue+black version of the disk. The stickers are not at the proper location. On the other hand it's not easy to print stickers with round borders and all.

The Amiga 500 looks real to me - packaging is just like I remember it. Can't imagine that anyone would bother trying to fake it.

The disks and manual look real too. We all know what pirated Amiga disks look like - these aren't.

Everything is legit. The only thing that is not is the polystyrene inside the A500 box.
