Awhile back 2000 AD tried to stir up some controversy and pick up some new sales by doing a shock issue that apparently had Judge Dredd making out with some guy. Very next issue arrived a week later and revealed it was just a gay guy dressed as Judge Dredd, and the gay guy ended up in prison for it. Apparently a few people thought it was going to be big enough and controversial enough to make fake stuff over.

Is it considered a knock-off if it's published by the same person as the original? I'm not sure if this exactly is the right thread for these albums, but I figured that they're interesting enough. So, back in the early 80s, a German man named Ingo Nowotny started up a record label called Metal Enterprises. It originally just printed some licensed (or perhaps unlicensed) versions of foreign releases. It managed to get some real money in when they put out albums by the German band Böhse Onkelz, who were one of Germany's best-selling indie rock acts at the time. They used these to record some downright strange albums, including albums that were straight-up just heavy metal covers of pop, folk, and funk songs. Now, that's not what's exactly interesting nor are these the purpose of this post. What is interesting is their fake albums. Using what I assume is a group of in-house musicians, they recorded several albums that they then put out as the "second" album of several of the groups they had on their license - and these albums sounded almost nothing like the original bands. Godzilla went from passable heavy metal to some combination of rock and reggae. Thrash Queen went from badly-produced but decent speed metal to thrash metal with an indescribably operatic/howling lead singer that could barely pronounce her English lyrics. Killer Fox went from middle-of-the-road metal to what one person described as "if The Residents had made a Sci-fi concept Metal album." And my favorite conversion would have to be Fucker, whose first album was hardcore punk headed by a black guy that contained anti-racist lyrics but whose second "album" was white power Oi. I've personally never seen anything like it - even the "fake albums" from Cobra Records were fantastic and didn't pretend to be a different band. Here's some examples of the fake bands in question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d3pbZhkPQ8 Because nothing says "metal" like Esther & Abi Ofarim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiAkbTkSgoo I have to admit to weirdly enjoying both Thrash Queen and Killer Fox below. I'll take crazy screaming metal over boring heavy metal any day. Though I do admit, her pronunciation of "vox of thrash" as "box of trash" is a pretty spot-on description of the album. Killer Fox - Vixen of Slaughter (slightly for some naked breasts, but if you can then check it out for the album art alone) Drum machines and robot voices never sounded so good. The song "Killer Fox" shows off some of their more avant-garde work. Anyway, for some actual bootleg content, here's what Square should have done for the FF7 remake.

I get so annoyed how much you see posts about bootleg games that never show the gameplay. I don't care if it's just a rebranded knock-off, or a romhack or whatever, and I know that it will never live up to the images on the boxes and carts, but let me see the game, dammit!

If people were still wondering whether the Lepin sets are worth getting if you can't afford the genuine Lego sets then here's a video that does a pretty in-depth comparison of the Lepin X-Wing versus the Lego X-Wing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toQTNjgfcG8 tl;dr: the Lepin sets aren't perfect and can have small defects or minor missing pieces but if you're just going to display the model on a shelf they're nearly indistinguishable

They are excellent quality overall. The clutch is on par with Lego for most parts. The quality of the stickers could be better though. Also the sticker for family mart is for a 1x4 brick but you are supplied a 1x3
