Very nice Euro. Since its from China are you thinking its a counterfeit?
RE: Got some new stuff - Euro2309 - 06-16-2024
@Super That is a good question Super. but i think this one is not the counterfeit one. The counterfeit never make packaging like this and some detail is not the same like the black roof. The real one is shine one while the counterfeit was solid black.

I thought the same thing about the packaging but whatever its a fine looking model 👍

I think it’s quite likely that there’s more than one manufacturer of pirate Trackmasters in China, and it’s also likely that their processes such as what black paint finish they use may vary from one batch to another.
I really struggle to see how a genuine one could be available from a retail website in China, but I suppose it’s not totally impossible.

It's kind of like that situation with the mysterious tomy diesel. Some (like me) say its a knockoff as the same sellers have been selling them for years whereas others say they're genuine.
This charlie could be a knockoff, but perhaps they still have some old genuine products mixed amongst the knockoffs.
