bootleg figures in comics connection

i happened to go to shopping centres with comic connection in them while buying my bag and stuff and i went into them to take a look at the figures they were selling.
a few comic connection shops dat i went to sold bleach trading sets 1 n 2... AND they were priced at $25.90!! at first i was amazed but i wondered how come comics connection sold them at such cheap prices. i also noticed something wrong. the faces of the characters didnt exactly look right and the paint at the figures' shoes and socks were not well done. seeing dat the sets were too cheap to be true, i decided not to buy them before i confirmed something.
i also saw some other gashapon sets dat were quite hard to find being sold there. but some of them looked awfully done so i decided to play safe and not buy any at all coz they may all be bootlegs. there was one inuyasha set dat was being sold at the far east shopping centre comics connection. it resembled the gashapon inuyasha set 3 but it looked totally awful and out of shape- the colour was off and the moulds were bad... lol
on my way back home, i decided to check out the place selling the bleach trading sets @ $100+ and ask the shop owner whether the comics connections were selling bootlegs. he told me dat the bootlegs have black supports for the legs (not toking abt the base) while the authentic ones have colourless supports for the legs.
i dont think i'll ever trust comic connection or buy figures from them coz they stock up so much bootlegs.
