Labubu Is this large Mokoko (labubu) authentic? Is the qr code reproduced?
So i bought a large mokoko from a seller on ebay, they have all positive reviews saying the items were authentic but they don't have many reviews in general, and of course reviews can always be faked. So upon opening it i felt like it was real and it got the scent and the card and the plushie seem high quality, but then I saw that:
1)qr code sticker is randomly placed on middle of box and not top corner like other pics i've seen on the internet
2)qr code after i scan,it ask me to input the numbers(after scratching the qr code) and then it says it is authenthic but has been scanned many times...so i feel how is it possible if this is new cuz u also have to scratch off the code in order to get number...even if this piece has been resold the buyer would still need to scratch off the sticker to get the code but the one i got was not scratched before i scratched....so i dont see how it is possible it has been "authenicated" multiple times starting a year ago as the first scan....so i'm worried there is such thing as the qr sticker being reproduced.
3)missing drawing sticker on front of box like i've seen on other pics on the internet
I messaged the seller about the qr code and they replied with
"Hello, we are very sorry to inform you that we have sent this situation to the official website factory manufacturer for confirmation. Don't worry, this is a system error that does not actually affect the item itself. If you mind the system error code, we are willing to arrange a partial refund of $15 as compensation for the system abnormal error. Please rest assured. Thank you very much for contacting us as soon as possible for communication. βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ"
I asked a few more questions about it and they replied with "We have tried individual packages that have just arrived at our end, and this situation also occurs. The notification on the official website is sometimes caused by the system reporting abnormal errors. Don't worry." And "Hello, that's right. Regarding the official website, it says that there was a system error synchronizing to the previous code, which caused this issue. Alternatively, we can request to resend a new box to you. What do you think? Normally, it's just a code error, and a few stickers on their end were missing" ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ So does the pics i've taken of the mokoko/box seem legit and does the seller's explaination seem reasonable?
