Yep, everything is being faked these days. It is staggering.
This artcile about faked board games is an interesting one. The quality can be as good as the original (or nearly) and yet cost half the price. I have been taken in by this sort of thing in the past.

Interesting also that I have heard that when Marketplace sellers have Amazon do the delivery to customers the stock delivered by the marketplace seller can be mingled in with Amazon's own stocks which means that sometime Amazon own stock, so the fakes are circulating within the real stock at times.
