-they are rare and limited to like 25-50 kits
-they are only sold for one day in an specific convention in Japan
-is almost impossible for the average consumer to get one.
So I don't blame them if they buy fakes. Now these days the chinese and other companies are making their own statues because of scarcity. This wouldn't happen if garage kits were regularly available
