lol, I was fortunate enough to get the real deal on my first shot, but that was probably because the price set for them seemed to be about right for what they were worth back then. ^^ I would have been pretty upset if they were cheap imports. lol.
I made sure to pre-order from a music/dvd store when the dvd was due to be released. I got a super cool cup with Simba and Nala on it as a prize too. (Yeah, I know... I’m childish, lol)
Ahh, you lucky lioness. ^^ I have a few TLK cups in my collection (although they are more like drinking glasses, rather than the plastic ones) but I'm always looking for more of them. ^^ I don't like those freaky ones of the cubbies head's stretched and you drink out of their brains it seems like. Way too creepy. lol. >.>
Yeah, if you want the authentic ones, you will have to still shell out a pretty penny for them unfortunately, but it's worth it if you really want them. hehe. ^^
Hmm...The TLK DVD looks like it's appreciating in value O.o The sellers are asking for 29 dollars? It's almost as if TLK was a brand new movie coming out. xD
