They're root canal packing material. Not the usual sort of thing they send out for dispatch tracking number games.

you planning on getting a root canal? cause that's the stuff the dentist uses to plug the roots of your teeth after drilling them out.
Gutta percha is pretty neat stuff actually it's a thermoplastic that you can tap from a tree just like natural rubber.

I assume Disney would be interested in Lion King toy trademarks. They probably don't overlap on construction cranes or something but I'm sure they have other toys too. IANAL and not like China gives a poo poo anyway though.

A cursory search says (not unexpectedly) that Disney has not registered the trademark "Lion King" for anything. "The Lion King" is distinct from "Lion King".

Grimey Drawer
"Lion King" is probably just too generic to get easy broad protection. The concept of the lion as king and the association of lions with royalty is too embedded in a lot of culture.

A quick look in the UK database suggests that Disney does have "Lion King" trademarked here, but only for ornamentals, figurines, dolls, soft toys & accessories. They have much wider trademark protection for "The Lion King", and all their various protections under copyright & design. It is Disney though, so the courts would probably have to make a ruling.

There is a completely unrelated company called "Lion King" that makes gambling equipment. They have a logo with their name trademarked, so it could be an interesting argument.

That store I linked earlier with the Legos also has a shitton of fashion stuff (it's mostly that, actually). This one that GONTHWID has seems to be a ripoff of a Casablanca shirt that's also there:

It's cheaper and (allegedly) silk, though you'd have to jump through hoops with a freight forwarder.

Shirt i got was button up.

I have just ordered a tee shirt though.. SO not sure, but i found their sizing chart to be pretty spot on.

Its almost like its a legit store site for something (maybe in japan???) and not a knockoff site. (which is weird for aliexpress)

And lets see if thsi works for you

That works for me, thanks mate

I got some Human Made stuff a while back from a different shop, that I'm pretty sure was legit, and was about the same price as the tees in that shop

I been doing a lot of shopping on Temu with a new account recently.

What I like about Temu is that they almost don't list overpriced stuff. So your search result either show you something that has the same price on amazon, or if you scroll down you find something $5, $10 cheaper. Aliexpress, the search is worse and there are some 20% obvious overpriced stuff. Temu s perfect if you are doing a home project or car project that need a lot of small, hard to find gadget or accessories type stuff. What I don't like about Temu is the product spec page is basically non existant.

They also added some "gamer coupon" stuff. I am not talking about the raffling wheel referral poo poo that they added to the app recently. I am talking about this shop inducing coupon of "If you spend $49 on your next order, you will get 3 coupons that can save you $90" (They are 25-30% saving coupons.) So we are talk about 4 orders of 350 worth of stuff which will give you $90-$100 discount. That's too much shopping. Temu really don't carry many expensive and actually consumable things. Before the coupons got expired, Temu actually hit me with 2 waves of 30% off coupons, so at one point I had like 7 coupons but they all set to expire in 2-3 days.

What I am saying is Temu must employed alot of gotcha game programmers. No thank you Temu, I will stick with the new user 20% coupon next time.

I got a 12V/6V SLA/AGM/Lithium battery charger off temu.

It's produced by a reasonably well known brand, has all the legally required markings, it's definitely the real product. It was about 70% of the local retail price too.

The thing works perfectly. I use it to charge my back-up batteries when it's not bright enough to use solar.

Great experience with temu so far.
